Kodi’s fact of the day: SSRIs should not cause emotional blunting. If this is happening, tell your doctor! It often warrants a switch to a different medication.

My patients are quite happy with their hormone therapy.

They’re quite unhappy with all the negative things being said about them in the media.

Can we work on fixing the latter, please?

Out of 3499 patients audited by the Cass Review, only 10 detransitioned and they only spoke to 2 to find out why. Once again, detransition is proven to be incredibly rare.

That's a detransition rate of 0.2% which is in line with several studies.

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t think think that trans people are the biggest threat to women’s basketball. I’ve been involved in wbb for 15+ years & never had a negative interaction with a trans person. Had plenty of negative interactions with racist & misogynistic people though.

Kodi is back with his facts of the day

There is a subtype of OCD called the “taboo subtype” in which people have intrusive socially inappropriate thoughts

Patients are often afraid to tell their doctors about it, but we won’t judge and can help with meds & therapy!

22.3% of Gen Z openly identifies as .

As more people know queer people, acceptance will continue to improve.

Keep this in mind as you peruse the unrepresentative mess that is Twitter discourse, and know it will only continue to improve as years go by.

What in the world is “gender theory”?

Hormones change secondary sex characteristics. Surgery changes anatomy. This isn’t theory. These are facts.

These political rhetorical games are exhausting.
