Honestly, I’ve completely stopped watching documentaries because they are usually so completely slanted towards one side or another that they feel like a complete waste of time. (I’ll admit I still consume some biased media—YouTube video essays, the occasional Last Week Tonight video, but at least they’re usually more upfront about their bias and/or engage with disconfirming evidence to some degree).

Likewise. even news-wise, I've generally pivoted away from reporters/anchors and just look up the primary sources if it's something that I'm interested in knowing more about.

Still waiting.

My bad, was busy doing real life stuff (camping in the American Southwest).

It was Patrick R. Grzanka at Knoxville. They were talking about the intersection between sex and gender and differences.

I'd love to tell you more, but Matt Walsh just decided to skip/cut that entire part of the conversation out in an effort to do a poor excuse for comedy that would rile up his supporters. Hence the entire issue.

Where did you go? That's my neck of the woods.

I agree. Despite the usual slant, I find them entertaining and thought prokoving. Kanopy has lots of good stuff imo, and it's free with most library cards. Others I've liked: leaving neverland, touching the void, the central park five, fyre, murderball

Patrick can still post what he said. Did he? His tweets are protected so I cant see if he posted it there. Did he write his definition anywhere for my edification

I looked online and still can't find Patricks definition

This video is a really nice critique of Littman's study and ROGD research in general (tl;dr: Sampling only participants from websites for parents who don't think their kids are trans will get you the opinions of parents who don't think their kids are trans)

I don’t ask probing questions. I invite patients to share their thoughts with me and over time they learn to trust that I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their own process. The patients that I am thinking about who have shared all of their conflictual thoughts have seen me for at least six months of weekly sessions. They don’t often tell their friends and family who support their transition process about their thoughts because like many things with my patients, the other people in their life don’t really understand and in an effort to be helpful say well-meaning things that are invalidating.

To me, this is the only ethical and professional perspective and approach as a psychologist. It may draw scorn, but I will agree that the profession--as a whole--has become completely politicized and it would be better if we re-focused our attention on the perspective that you've articulated in this thread.

I hope what I am asking isn't too laborious - but I am truly interested in some of the wording you use during these interactions.

It usually starts with asking about the various relationships in their life and what the patient experiences as supportive or unsupportive and how that plays out. I also normalize this spectrum of supportive vs unsupportive to an extent and then add that something like gender transitions can add another layer to it. I have similar conversations with all of my patients because fill in the blank with a diagnosis it adds another layer to it. This facilitates a dialogue that begins to break out of the black and white focus on the haters and abusers vs everyone else. The haters and abusers aren’t really worth talking about as the best strategy is probably to get away from them as much as possible and a focus on that is more of a defense mechanism than anything else and we don’t want to collide with a maladaptive defense. The real work is to talk about the people who are worth having in our life but still can be invalidating or misunderstanding or judgmental.
