Pediatric transition skeptics. 'Like samizdat for the sane & ideologically uncowed'. Free speech. Science.
Awestruck reverence for a child's "gender identity" wisdom has been touted by US clinicians--for years. Here's @washingtonpost in 2018 quoting Diane Ehrensaft w/zero pushback. "It's the children who are now leading us." The rainbow boy-girls. @jk_rowling archive.is/uQK60
The way the NYT subcommunicates politically correct opinion to readers is masterful.
It really irks me that the same doctors who think it's just fine to give an adolescent boy 7mg of estrogen/day - to effect M2F transition - resent and seek to restrict the 0.5mg I take to protect my bones, because it's not "natural." npr.org/sections/shots…
So far today I've been called a "pedo" and an "alt right fascist." (Just another day at the office!) All for saying that women's sports are for women. Which is what both the US Olympic Committee and @NCAA have also said. Are they all pedophiles and fascists too?
Who wants to ask the leaders of the US major medical associations: Do you consider sex toys, packers and tucking underwear appropriate for little kids? Or not?
It's not enough to make pronouncements like "child transition is bad." Make them defend packers/tucking underwear for toddlers. ASK if they encourage/discourage parents like this. ASK if they approve of parents buying sex toys for their blocked boys. 9/
I’m still struggling to understand how when 80% of Americans agree that women deserve their own sports it is positioned as a ‘fringe alt-right’ viewpoint by the mainstream media. They’re the fringe espousing a cult like view that has no basis in reality.
A very troubling outcome for any family, for the child, the parents and the siblings. 'Get yourself a new family' is part of the transgender script and there are plenty of adults who will step in, believing it to be 'kind.'
13 year old Australian legally and permanently ‘divorced her parents’ after being caught up with the gender cult. No more mum and dad, no further contact with siblings. A new name and a new family, all approved by the Family Court. theaustralian.com.au/nation/new-nam…
Hey @SaraDonchey and @KPIXtv . We’re not “anti-trans activists,” we’re liberals pushing back against dangerous ideology-based medicine and clinicians and clinics profiting off of a dystopian social contagion. youtu.be/hDuexp04-Yc
Three years later, we still have this question.
The million-dollar question: Do these moms discuss their packer conundrums w/ their pediatrician? It strains credulity to believe they wouldn't. Imagine if the doc encouraged them NOT to do this--they'd report on it in the group. @AmerAcadPeds , what's your "guidance" on this? 7/
According to this undercover video (2018), a Kaiser provider admitted they perform "masculinizing top surgery" on kids as young as 12. (Second short clip in video collection.) youtube.com/shorts/E38o16g…
The journalists who claim that these stories are somehow fake or extremely rare just haven't done any reporting on this, or aren't being honest about the reporting they have done. I'm not saying it *always* happens *everywhere*, but it isn't some crazy outlying thing.
.@LJDetrans was affirmed as a “boy” on her first visit with a Kaiser therapist. They gave her puberty blockers, testosterone and removed her breasts at 13. Yesterday she stood facing critics and TV cameras outside the very building where this medical harm occurred 7 years ago.

I still think people should dress however they please. I still think people should be free to say whatever they like about themselves. Trying to outlaw or suppress other people's beliefs is as dangerously authoritarian as trying to force everyone else to pretend to share those…
This week on Informed Dissent we discuss (and I cry quietly) about what the future holds for the young people who’ve been harmed by these practices. We discuss the case of Avery Jackson, the trans-identified boy who at age nine appeared on the cover of National Geographic’s 2017…
I see so much activity today about Avery Jackson, full of certainty that medical transition rendered him sterile and sexually dysfunctional, and that he regrets transitioning. But I see no evidence of this.
12 years old. The youngest girl to receive a "gender-affirming" mastectomy in Kaiser Permanente Northern California's 2013-2020 study. Mastectomies on minors increased 13-fold in their system. Documented complications: hematoma, infection, and more.
These are the ‘outsider’ girls who I see all the time falling in to the cult. They are the girls who struggle with their appearance, awkwardness, personal and familial troubles and are very different from the well-adjusted, attractive and popular girls — they find a way to belong…
In the old days, they would pass blunts. Now they bluntly don't pass so they're sharing their T.
🧵Institutions cannot simply close down programs and walk away from their responsibility to the patients they have harmed. This long-term follow-up must include: Regular bone density scans and appropriate treatment for any bone density issues resulting from medical…
