It is important to bear in mind that (1) there is very limited time for mandatory annual training, and as there is almost nothing new in pharmacology, CA is simply trying to use this moment to get folks up to speed on key social developments; (2) the Trans community gets very little attention in America today, having been marginalized by the culture and the press (silenced), so the health care community must be trained/sensitized to their needs; (3) the deplorable resistance to Trans needs reflected in comments here shows that more, not less, mandatory training may be necessary; (4) even tho the Trans community is a tiny sliver of the population, it is the neediest, as it involves core identity and gender factors, so medical aid and understanding must be directed to them first; and (5) it is not true that a cabal of education and medical officials actively cultivate Trans/gender-fluid beliefs among youth and encourage them to doubt their gender and believe it can be changed, in the process helping to subvert families, undermine parental authority (such as it is), and make youth feel anxious and uncertain. We should be deeply grateful for State initiatives like this. There will be no questions.

I can’t quite tell if this is a parodical comment or not.

The comment imitates life. Sometimes I can't tell myself if I live in a parody of life or in life itself.

Ain't that the truth. It's like the Babylon Bee all day every day.
