A Physician’s Response to U.S. v. Skrmetti (75)
What happens when legal decisions about healthcare don’t align with medical reasoning?
In this episode, A Physician’s Response to U.S. v. Skrmetti, I invite you to consider the recent court ruling through a medical lens. I walk through why some of the legal distinctions made in the case do not reflect how medicine works and how the decision departs from the way we provide care in similar situations.
If you believe these laws are about protecting kids, I hope you’ll listen with curiosity. At the end, I offer a simple way to reflect on whether your concerns are truly about the care itself or whether something else may be at play.
Listen now and share with someone who is open to hearing the medical perspective on gender-affirming care.
