Conclusion

Physicians who choose to provide quality care for a stigmatized patient population within a system that generally ignores its unique medical needs do so at the fringes of their clinical comfort zone. In the absence of a functional system of consistent and equitable care delivery for all patients, the onus of competent care often falls on conscientious individual clinicians who are passionate about caring for the underserved. As the sole clinician offering Jessie crucial gender affirmation, we argue that it is Dr. Lao’s responsibility to ensure Jessie receives all medically indicated interventions she desires, including hormone therapy. To do this, it is his clinical and ethical responsibility to perform due diligence by helping Jessie receive gender-affirming medical treatment, including hormone therapy, from an experienced clinician.

You've got a point

I like the blurb

now to read it

great, it's not an article

the tweet is correct, this "counterculture" proceeds from anonymous figures and the anonymous multitude

the visible figures are not important

whether that is a good thing is worth debate, but I don't think the actual assertion is debateable

the visible figures did not precede the upswell

first came the change, then riding that wave came various figures

the kind of ideas Milo for instance has, they are a further iteration of stuff that has been slowly developed (on the internet, anonymously) for a couple of years

if someone asked me to name one, just one, person who I thought was the most important to all of this shit

despite not liking him very much I would say Steve Sailer

who, while not anonymous, is certainly not a visible figure

it s funny how you participate in talks anonymously and then 1 week later you see the talking points used by Milo or Cernovich

what incentive is to not be anonymous? save the magical white race? fuck that. if you risk your personal image, at least do it for shekels.

why don't you tell me

what the incentive is

I have the opposite impression

Milo and Cernovich talk about stuff that has been discussed generally years ago

both of these people are not big thinkers by any means

one is a promoter, both self and others, one is basically an old school self-improvement-scam seller and now a neo-journalist

if they talk about something, you can be pretty sure they didn't come up with it

the media gives one the impression that these people are important by their attention on them

this is why people were pissed at the Spencer event

because the media could crown him king of the alt right

the whole battlefield, or even enemy, is mass media, nothing more or less

the alt right is a mass media movement

there is an attitude on the right in general about "doing things"

which I think stems from individual personality

some kinds of people are not satisfied unless they feel they are "doing things"

and generally this ranges from political entryism to literally busting heads

but did leftists in the US ever preoccupy themselves with stuff like this?
