This story is from 2023. It's not recent. But Hruz is still an active pediatric endocrinologist and teaches pediatrics.

I remember my mom made me read a book that had a similar line, but they were ever so slightly more chill. The person was responding to the similar argument, "better a living daughter than a dead son," and he essentially said that dysphoria is just a condition some people are born with and should have to struggle with until they die. It was really bizarre seeing someone acknowledge that dysphoria is a naturally occurring condition and that it should't be treated. Like, should I go without treating my schizophrenia? I almost died because of it, and we all know that we need to treat it. But my gender dysphoria is just my cross to bear?
