I don't know if using blunt-force adjectives to describe the medical professionals who are catering to the desires of young people seeking to re-assign their sexual orientation is the right way to go about it, but I think that there should be a universally accepted series of tests made by professionals in all fields concerned that determine when and if a young person can be allowed to have his or her body transformed at an early age. Why not put into place legislation that forbids all surgical intervention until the age of adulthood has been reached---like for tobacco? Then, at least if there was a mistake made and the person who was transformed into the opposite sex realizes ten years after that he or she made a mistake, no one can say he or she made the mistake in the fog of adolescence. Above all, we must not realize that this is like a full-arm, sleeve tattoo that a young person has done on himself or herself at, say, 20-years of age and then when he or she reaches the ripe old age of 30 and goes to a laser-surgeon to have it removed and gets the answer back that he or she will have to live with it, because it's too risky to remove a whole sleeve tattoo. That may be hard to accept, but it is not something that is a life-changer. Moreover; one can go on with his or her life and live with ink on their arm till their dying day, but it won't ruin their life like a mistake of going under the knife at an age when one cannot know the consequences of life-changing surgical operations, and have one's body forever altered. This is an opinion and I have not experienced knowing any young person who has had a gender transformation operation, but if it was with my daughter in her teens, I would have done everything in my power to have her wait until she reached the age of consent.

This vocast is an extraordinary and successful attempt to solve a potentially disastrous problem. Dr Peterson, you have dissected a living digital-insect that is an app called Twitter. This marvel of the one-liner can send tweets of every kind and color around the world in the press of a ghostly button on a portable phone's screen. Thanks to your professional focus into analyzing the mechanism that makes this word-sending, social-media beast, we can finally see that unqualified individuals---like you say---can send their thoughts. Funny, helpful, interesting or wicked, very disturbing sound bites that really do bite can be sent in a heartbeat to people far out of their intellectual depth. Jordan, you have really done it this time. But let me throw this bone of contention back into the pit of barking mad, digital dogs. Twitter is here to stay; its effects on the young means that many of them will suffer some sort of mental health issue later in their life. But the doggedly difficult nut to crack is how are we going to move forward as a society knowing these virtual doors into everyone's consciousness from Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and counting will be more and more open hunting grounds for sadistic sharpshooters and pathological narcissists to use to their fondest desire? These companies that are really invisible boxes of unconscious thoughts-turned-into-words and sent to thousands of people in an instant will change our human psychology forever. Jordan; that's what you're saying if I have understood you. So; what this really translates out to is that young people of today will be growing up in minefields of potentially debilitating mental disorders caused from tweets that have the ability to slowly eat away their sense of personal worth and cause depression, feelings of low self-esteem and the like. It's very worrying, but it's like pythons in the Florida everglades isn't it. These social-media phenomena are not going away so we'd better start finding ways to protect young minds.
