In the name of a vague gender identity, doctors across the nation have reportedly acted cautiously. They have been prescribing experimental drugs to stop puberty and chemically alter fresh people’s bodies. Nevertheless, rising medical malpractice insurance rates may make them reconsider.
According to Latham Watts, vice president of public affairs at the nonprofit law company Alliance Defending Freedom,” facilities that are getting into this kind of work were surprised at the prices they were being quoted for malpractice plan.”
In an appointment at the February National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Watts explained that some rates were five days as high as they had anticipated, and prices are still rising.
Many of the transgender youths who previously identified as transgender and used cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers to resemble those of the other sex have since started de-transitioning and are taking more drugs in an effort to transfer to their healthy development.
Many of them are now suing their former doctors, alleging that trans” treatments” caused them harm before they were old enough to give informed consent.
Many of them even claim that doctors have violated the Socratic swear, a pledge for specialists which, among other things, includes the claim to “do no injury” to people.
” But, the insurance companies see this, they see the dispute increasing, they see the danger increasing, and so the prices boost”, Watts said. ” You know, it’s the’ visible hand.’ It’s Adam Smith, you know, the invisible hands of the business”.
That makes reference to the idea that free markets encourage people to deliver goods and services in an economy so that they can buy those goods and services to create success for themselves, according to Adam Smith’s essay in the 18th century. As Smith wrote,” It is not from the generosity of the barber, the baker, or the cook, that we expect our supper, but from their relation to their own attention”. According to Smith, this self-interest effectively regulates charges.
If none of the following will persuade doctors that this is a bad idea and that it violates their own financial self-interest, then that might be a depressing commentary on the practice of medicine, but I’ll take it, best?” My take on it was, if the Socratic oath, if standard high school eighth grade biology, if basic high school ninth grade biology, if basic high school ninth grade biology,” said I. Watts said.
The lawyer distinguishes between “parents who are just desperate to help a suffering child,” especially when many of them have been sold the false notion that a living transgender “daughter” or a dead son, and doctors who” should know better.”
ADF—a law firm focused on free speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, marriage and family, and parental rights —represents many clients struggling against gender ideology, the worldview that promotes transgender identity and these experimental medical interventions. Teachers in many schools have been forced to use pronouns that reflect transgender identities rather than their biological sex.
Watts noted that ADF has frequently “advancing the God-given right to live and speak the truth” ( ).
Another ADF incident involved a girl being forced to share a bed with a boy during an overnight school trip by the district.
According to Watts,” we currently have clients in Colorado whose daughters were informed that not only must she share a bed with biological men, but that she also has been given permission to share a room with a biological man.”
He also responds to criticism from ADF, an “anti-LGBT hate group,” from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
” If you do n’t agree with them, that’s their definition of hate, right”? he said. ” If the First Amendment means anything, it’s the right for people to express views and to disagree”.
ADF lawsuits brought by ADFs before the Supreme Court were also brought up by Watts, including one involving the Food and Drug Administration, which, according to the FDA label, approved an abortion pill that would put one in 25 women in the emergency room.
Would you believe the Food and Drug Administration would carry out that statement, in my opinion? he asks. ” I mean for any drug? It’s really unconscionable to me, the callousness”.
