To be clear. I’m not defending a rapist. There is some nuance though. The guy was 19 and she said she was 16. They’d been chatting for months, and he flew to the UK for her, believing they were in some sort of relationship. He found out her true age after this.

Was he being naive thinking it’d be alright. Oh yes. Is it still wrong? Definitely. Should be have been punished? Yep.

Is he a pedophile because he had sex with a girl he was in love with and should he be punished for the rest of his life? You tell me.

Two months ago I started using Kagi as a Google alternative. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes not having to wade through a list of sponsored links first and actually getting the results I want.

Do you have a source for this? Not that I don’t trust you, I just want to laugh at these chucklefucks.

I am so glad I’m not in America. It literally looks like everybody is at risk to get shot all the time, everywhere.

Now you shouldn’t be using his own words against him. That just makes him look like an idiot.

I remember seeing her at the 2016 Olympics in Rio thinking she’s going to dominate this thing so hard the coming years. It’s so sad her career and personal life have been derailed because of some predator. Amazing to see she’s doing better!

That’s rough. Is there any way to reverse the damage done?

It’s the closest translation of the Dutch “huisarts” that’s available.

“A general practitioner, commonly known as a family doctor or primary care physician, is a medical professional who focuses on providing general healthcare to patients. They often serve as the initial point of contact for individuals with medical concerns. General practitioners treat a wide range of health issues, offer preventive care, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications. When necessary, they refer patients to specialists for more specialized care. In essence, a general practitioner is a key figure in healthcare, playing a crucial role in managing individuals’ health.”

I get the feeling you’re personally offended by this, and if so, I’ll apologize as it was never my intention.

The above statement is just an observation myself and colleagues I’ve shared my concerns with did. It might be a coincidence, but nearly all our transitioned patients had a prior diagnosis for autism, and without exception all had psychiatric comorbidities.

This also seems to be in line with the (scarce) literature on the subject. (I.e. 1 2)

I hope I’m wrong and my patients are just exceptions, and that we won’t look back at these years with regret.
