Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
The discussion of medical treatment starts around 9 minutes in.

He gives it as an example of corruption.
I am sick and tired of this populism, this malicious populism, which is so often played up against the trans community and the issues we care about. I'm tired of self-important blowhards positing our community's interests and needs as diametrically opposed to those of the greater community.
Thanks for the great information on this post.
