In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Jesper Rasmussen emphasizes a strategic approach to effecting change in public policy and societal perceptions. His comprehensive strategy balances direct political action with broader efforts to sway public opinion and leverage media influence. His efforts in Denmark involved relentless conversations about the hidden truths behind gender affirming care for minors, much like the iatrogenic effects. His persistence in securing meetings and fostering alliances significantly impacting the debate in the Danish Parliament. Jesper highlights the importance of engaging public perception in shaping political decisions and leveraging media and strategic messaging to change societal views.

The iatrogenic effect refers to any adverse condition or complication that results from medical treatment or intervention rather than from the underlying disease or condition itself. In the context of pediatric sex changes, iatrogenic concerns revolve around the potentially harmful outcomes that result from early social and medical interventions. These effects may lock a child into a transition process that they might not have chosen if left to develop naturally, leading to irreversible and life-altering consequences.

Iatrogenic effects are generally a significant concern in medicine because they underscore the importance of weighing the risks and benefits of any medical intervention. Medical professionals strive to minimize these effects through careful planning, informed consent, and adherence to best practices. So why are they being entirely disregarded with respect to pediatric gender medical treatments?

0:24.0	The trans issue has so many facets to it, but when it comes to the pediatric medical issue,
0:32.0	the big last frontier I think is exemplified in this very
0:38.7	bizarre policy update which has taken place in your country which is only the precocious early onset kids get
0:45.4	medicalized.
0:46.4	And I think this is one of the biggest misunderstandings in public opinion that the kids who have these early
0:53.7	onsets are the real trans kids and I think an important
0:58.6	yeah and many of them I mean stela I would say statistically speaking you are probably somewhat of an
1:05.6	anomaly from that population because you grew up to end up being a straight woman who is a husband and
1:10.0	kids most of these kids will be gay and I think if people understood what was happening to these children
1:19.0	not dissimilar from eugenics though I don't think it's intentional I think these are
1:23.4	well-meaning people that think there's a true trans kid we're going to help them be
1:26.8	their authentic self but that is such a damaging misunderstanding I think I think you're totally right Sasha and I think that's I mean but even
1:39.3	Clearing up that misunderstanding those three questions are greatly helpful as well because they apply to maybe
1:46.7	even especially to the youngest kids because basically what I learned from our medical advisor, Dr. Lesson, is the iatrogenic effect.
2:00.0	And what do you explain to me, of course, and I need to explain that to you guys because you know it, but let me just tell you what I learned.
2:08.0	Is that if you, as happened in that documentary on Danish National, from our Danish national broadcaster,
2:15.6	the D.R. TV, it's called a whole human being was the title of it.
