Saw bones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion.

It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil?

We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth.

You're worth it.

Alright, time is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four.

Two big big came across a pharmacy with a toy and that's blasted out.

We're going to have as much to do this week.

This topic that we're going to cover this week is a little more serious.

I know that we're a comedy show, but we also sometimes cover things that are a little heavier, but important and timely.

Also, a lot of people have been asking for us to talk about this.

I know that on our show we have talked about gender-affirming care for adults.

We've done an entire episode about our concept of gender and how that has evolved or how it's maybe always been evolved across cultures and such.

We've never really talked about specifically gender-affirming care when it comes to those under 18.

It's a different, from a medical standpoint, we approach it differently, first of all.

I personally take care of a lot of transgender adults and provide gender-affirming care for them.

I do not provide gender-affirming care for minors, not because I'm opposed to it, just because I have not been trained in that specific area of medicine.

I do work alongside our local clinic that does refer to and try to coordinate with for various political and advocacy reasons.

I think that right now there is a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation, and then some of it is not a misunderstanding, it's intentional.

It's a crappy targeting.

Yes.

Trans individuals and specifically trans kids.

I thought we should talk about it.
