I don't watch Fox News. I am a pediatrician who has been paying attention. "They" are my fellow pediatricians and they think they are life saving heroes. They are not. The facts don't follow their narrative.

Here is how I defined transsexualism 39 years ago: “The term gender dysphoria (Fisk, 1973) refers to discontent with one’s biological sex, the desire to possess the body of the opposite sex, and also to be regarded by others as a member of the opposite sex. Transsexualism may be…

When I make mistakes, I say so. I've apologized 1000 times for how my role in 2014 turned America into an unwinnable culture war. But note that EVERY ONE of these FRAUDS in the transgender "leadership" class that helped hand Trump the election are DOUBLING DOWN. Not a SECOND of…


It is a pleasure to see rational suggestions that align so much better with the research evidence than the extremism misrepresenting and outright contradicting it.

There is no future where health care for ACTUAL trans people survives the next four years that does not use parts of my playbook. ✅ Retreat to a defensible position, health care and access to the public commons for adults on a medical pathway, diagnosed by a medical…

Yes, and subjected kids to an uncontrolled medical experiment with pseudoscientific underpinnings. Is it a coincidence that trans issues weren’t on anyone’s radar before these realities emerged in the mid-2010s?

If men who claim to be women hadn’t used legislation to take away women’s spaces, services & sport, we wouldn’t think about any of you for even a second of the day.

Hmm. I perceive a baby-with-the-bathwater problem. The DSM is certainly no bible, but it's not a work of fiction either. The DSM-5 criteria are from 2013, from *before* the ROGD explosion. Extremism's problems won't be solved by opposing extremes. Moderate is the new radical.

"In the American Psychiatric Association's great work of fiction, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or the DSM, the diagnosis is gender dysphoria. In the World Health Organization's International Classification for Diseases, it's gender incongruence.…

Key lesson learned teaching EBM & as methods chair for guidelines: stay uninvested in their decisions. Present the evidence and let students decide the best treatment and panels the best recommendations. Knowing what I think of their decision is irrelevant keeps me calm & helpful

I can't help but consider another hypothesis: The public, including society's major institutions, have been mistaking what's on social media for what's in society. With attention-grabbing click-bait getting more circulated, people think the opinions themselves are more…
