Credentialism

 https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids

 

We live in a world where credentials are very important to some people.   If someone has a degree (especially a post grad degree) is virtually anything they are deemed an expert.   For some folks this credentialism  is almost a fetish.    Especially is your credentialed in anything that can be called a science.  What's interesting though, is when someone with credentials speaks out against the narrative, all of a sudden those credentials become worthless.    The above is a case in point.  We've seen all sorts of people who've claimed "That isn't happening." when it comes to treatment of "trans" children.    We've seen people on this very blog vehemently insist that children are not being "treated" with irreversible procedures.   Yet, we find out that they are and that it's pretty common.   We see excuses for the people who desperately regret the fact that they were rushed into irreversible procedures after minimal intake screening.   Well, it'll be interesting to see how quickly Jamie Reed gets destroyed for telling her truth.

This is tragic and the author's own history and ideology greatly facilitated what she eventually came to acknowledge. No doubt, her case references will be seen as outliers which should not be considered in deciding how to proceed. This is all about affirming and promoting the Agenda of which, by her personal life, she remains a part.

This is an example of what "shameful" truly is.

It's absolutely tragic. I suspect that we''ll see a generation of adults who are physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred because of these ideological zealots. As far as the author, her life is going to be made miserable all in the name of freedom and inclusion.
