The Opportunity Cost of Gender Affirming Care with Dr Oren Amitay YouTube

In this episode of Logan Fizzle, we will be exploring the opportunity costs of gender-affirming care. This term refers to the various treatments and therapies that help individuals who are experiencing discomfort with their gender identity to present in a way that aligns more closely with how they feel. However, there has been a trend of growing concern surrounding gender-affirming care, particularly its risks and long-term effects on children and their ability to give informed consent.

We will be discussing specific areas of concern, such as the use of puberty blockers and mastectomies on young girls, as well as instances of individuals who have regretted their decisions after undergoing gender-affirming care. This raises the question of whether there are alternative options available for individuals struggling with gender identity issues, and what the potential benefits of these alternatives might be.

To help us understand this complex and often controversial topic, we have invited Dr. Oren Amitay, a licensed clinical psychologist and university lecturer with extensive experience in this field, to join us. Tune in to learn more about the opportunity costs of gender-affirming care and the alternatives that may be available.
