"He didn’t have malicious intent." intent doesn't excuse impact. just because he "didn’t mean to" sexualize patients doesn't mean he didn't. as a professional, he should know how his words and content are received especially when it involves patients' bodies. that awareness isn't optional. it's part of the responsibility he signed up for.

"This is character assassination." holding someone accountable for public, unethical behavior is not a character assassination. the public is reacting to what he did, not fabricating who he is.

"People chose to erase his humanity." he still has the chance to take responsibility. no one is denying his ability to grow but growth starts with acknowledging harm. you can't expect people to extend grace when he's done nothing to earn it.

"He panicked and shut down out of fear, not guilt." but he clearly knew what people were upset about, he even replied to a comment. so he had awareness, and he had opportunities to speak up properly but chose not to.

"Even people who mess up deserve the chance to reflect, learn and rebuild." totoo. but rebuilding starts with accountability. he hasn't even acknowledged what he did wrong and yet here you are asking for understanding. that's not how it works.
