In the thousands but majority of surgeries are on adults not minors.
And who cares, except right wing creeps and bible humpers?
Thanks for sharing a reference.
Interesting…sounds like a great option for a very small group of people that don’t need to be hated on, just for being born a certain way.
“ Prior studies2-7 have shown that GAS is associated with improved quality of life, high rates of satisfaction, and a reduction in gender dysphoria. Furthermore, some studies have reported that GAS is associated with decreased depression and anxiety.8 Lastly, the procedures appear to be associated with acceptable morbidity and reasonable rates of perioperative complications.[2]”

Presumably the bolded text accounts for the discrepancy
Musk has never worked in a legacy IT environment and it shows
He’s trying to find quick fixes and shortcuts to savings through technology.
There are no quick fixes and shortcuts in a mainframe environment, the only fixes are $B multi year programmes that have an unenviable success rate
The tech community keeps laughing when he reveals his latest reports on waste because it’s often showing a fundamental misunderstanding of the underlying architecture
He’s got dudes who have done 5 years in modern web architecture trying to decipher software from the 1970s and 80s which required you to know a lot more about how things work under the hood.
There will be an auditable source for most things but the data might not make it through the complex web of integrations that exist between the source and the treasury systems. Fixing those integrations is going to be a nasty piece of work that musk won’t have the stomach for. It’s slow, expensive and if you ■■■■ up you’re going to have pensioners missing out on their pensions.
You really want to save money in the US government? Get in and audit the military properly. Again, a nasty and complex job, but they haven’t been able to balance the books in years. Social security runs lean, the military runs fat.
You’ve said it more eloquently than I did.
Yeah sure, but what if what Musk is saying is true? Also stop picking on the DOGE kids, they’re brilliant.
Kind of wild to watch Trump play with moves that risk causing inflation to ratchet up again when it was inflation post-Covid that so hurt the Dems and got him elected.

channel 9 headline grab today saying zekenski has caved into trump and is ready to work under him . effing a holes . I’ll bet the real version is not that . why do they enable trump with these sort of BS headlines
He has written on X - "My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
'We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same.
'Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
'We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this. Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right.
'We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format.
‘We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.’ -----
I dont think much has changed, I think he has called Trumps bluff e.g “Prove it”
It will buy time for eu to get organised and hammer russia back to their own ■■■■ hole
Gees I hope you’re right about the long term strategy of this.
Kind of has that same feeling about it when EFC came out with fighting words against the AFL at the height of the saga and then rolled over a few days later.
I want nothing more than Ukraine’s survival and return to original borders but if it includes shoving it up the current US administration by Europe stepping up then that would be a bonus.
Next step: establishing and indoctrinating Trump Youth.
FREEDOM!
The Trumpyan race.
