The truth is something that burns — it burns off deadwood, and people don’t like having their deadwood burnt off, often because they’re 95 percent deadwood.

There seem to be a lot of subjective modifiers here that prejudice me against your point a bit. I agree that professional associations should be able to set standards for what is and is not good practice. With respect to transgender care, covid care and pretty much any patient condition that a psychologist is going to come across, it is not petty bureaucrats but other professionals, peers you might say, who determine what is good and what is not good practice. The consistent automatic reaction against authority frequently leads people astray. Once in a blue moon one has to admit, I’m sick and I need a doctor.
