Plus the use of hormone therapy, puberty blockers and irreversible surgery that is \u201ctypically used in adulthood or case-by-case basis in adolescence.\u201d In other words, it is no longer a medical disease to think you were born the wrong gender.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The textbook also addresses the prior definition of gender dysphoria, saying the term is no longer in favor of modern terminology. This is also while claiming it can be offensive and inaccurate towards many people, or in this case, the woke Left.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lapado responded to the insanity by alleging Merck\u2019s action was \u201cmedical activism disguised as medical advancement.\u201d He continued to say \u201cmedicine cannot be a weapon used to divide communities,\u201d vowing that \u201cFlorida\u2019s guidance will not change due to political pressure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Where have we seen this before? ??<\/p>\n<p>Political activism disguised as scientific advancement.<\/p>\n<p>Medicine cannot be a weapon used to divide communities, and Florida\u2019s guidance will not change due to political pressure. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6JXRFYJbBp\">pic.twitter.com\/6JXRFYJbBp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joseph A.
