Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Not that I disagree with your main point, but this is only true for a given value of "can't". We didn't find out about Rachel Levine putting pressure on the WPATH to remove minimum ages for gender affirming treatments, in violation of their own procedures, because some good soul either in WPATH or in the Public Health Service decided to squeal, we found out about it through a set of improbable events that culminated in the Attorney General of Alabama getting access to internal WPATH emails.
This is without going in to more obvious things like: you can't know about secrets that stayed secret.
Sure, I don't claim every secret will be promptly revealed. I claim a secret of this magnitude - existence of a secret manual which is given to every claim adjuster in the insurance company, and plainly states every claim must be denied - is very unlikely to survive for long. I'm sure there are secrets - probably very dirty secrets - that do survive, but they are probably not as widely known and as easy to reveal.
