Episode Notes:
There is no question, given the recommendations outlined in WPATH’s SOC-8, that WPATH is in fact recommending extraordinary medical procedures resulting in extreme body modifications. Some of the most unusual cases, promoting individually customized procedures that are meant to create body types that don't exist in nature. So why doesn't WPATH just rebrand as a sexual cosmetic surgery group? Why do they say that these extreme body modifications are medically necessary and life -saving?
In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Mia Hughes shares her insights into the above. As well as her criticisms of WPATH’s lack of accountability and diversionary tactics in response to the WPATH Files Report and leaked files.
