Dr. Phil discusses the American medical system's endorsement of hormonal therapy and sexual reassignment surgery for children on Joe Rogan.

"I thought the deal was first do no harm." "They choose words like 'gender-affirming care,' but really what they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sexual reassignment surgery on children."

"I have never seen those organizations sign off on anything with less information as to whether or not it does long-term harm in my life." "European countries, Sweden, Norway, they've all stopped doing it because they say we cannot say in good conscience that this does no harm because it does harm."

Dr. Phil:

“ I think a lot of it is owing to social media platforms and the Internet. I think, this is what I'm talking about when I say the activist,’ I don't think speak for the community at large. I think they get an agenda that they're pushing and I think they really get wrapped up in this and it gets a lot of oxygen on the Internet. It gets a lot of oxygen on social media platforms.
Now they say there's no social contagion here, but the girls that are claiming to be transgender, that percentage has gone up. Some reports say it's gone up 800%, 1000% over the last several years.
And they say, well, that's because they feel more comfortable talking about it. Now is that true or is it because you read about it, you see it on social media and you think, well, I can distinguish myself in this way.
I think there is a social contagion effect, so people jump on the bandwagon and if it's for a short period of time but they've done things that can't be reversed, I think that's really tragic.
And they say there are very few detransitioners. I don't think that's true. I think there's a lot more detransitioners that want to reverse this and come back than are being reported.”
