That is not arrogance on my part, as I personally don't feel qualified (at the current time).
Having said that, the denial of the existence of, or trivialisation of, gender dysphoria is not at all helpful. What I've quoted from your post is an example of that.
I will, at least, have the opportunity to sit down at the weekend and allow myself to be educated on the subject by someone who, amongst other things, has practiced child psychiatry at the Tavistock - and who is delighted at the publication of and response to the Cass Report.
This is absolutely classic Des.
1) Sneers at people he classes as fools having a debate
2) Says he cannot possibly comment, despite possibly commenting on every other topic since time began.
3) Mentions that he knows someone who is AN ABSOLUTE TOP QUALITY, CANNOT BE DENIED EXPERT ON THE VERY SUBJECT. She's the best of the best, better than everyone anyone else could possibly know!!!!
4) He will as a matter of principle allow himself, a man of immense talents and knowledge, to be educated (by a woman no less) on the subject, whilst he possibly takes notes and smokes a pipe. What a delightful weekend, spent with a delightful woman who is equally delighted at the publication of said report.
