  • To be clear. I’m not defending a rapist. There is some nuance though. The guy was 19 and she said she was 16. They’d been chatting for months, and he flew to the UK for her, believing they were in some sort of relationship. He found out her true age after this.

    Was he being naive thinking it’d be alright. Oh yes. Is it still wrong? Definitely. Should be have been punished? Yep.

    Is he a pedophile because he had sex with a girl he was in love with and should he be punished for the rest of his life? You tell me.










  • I get the feeling you’re personally offended by this, and if so, I’ll apologize as it was never my intention.

    The above statement is just an observation myself and colleagues I’ve shared my concerns with did. It might be a coincidence, but nearly all our transitioned patients had a prior diagnosis for autism, and without exception all had psychiatric comorbidities.

    This also seems to be in line with the (scarce) literature on the subject. (I.e. 1 2)

    I hope I’m wrong and my patients are just exceptions, and that we won’t look back at these years with regret.
