No matter where you stand on the issue, political intrusion into the lives of families erodes their humanity & I’ve had a front row seat to the tragic impact. I’m hopeful that balance & reason will prevail. Thank you @psychtimes for the invitation. psychiatrictimes.com/view/gender-af…


I could not have said this better myself. Thank you @Liston4Ohio

“Normal, mainstream Ohioans do not believe that demons are making kids trans, that student athletes should have to endure genital inspections, or that politicians should have a say in the medical decisions we make for children.” dispatch.com/story/opinion/…



We should be discussing HOW to do the care, not WHETHER to do the care. No matter how the votes go, the political intrusion is egregious & unconstitutional & I am hopeful that balance and reason will prevail in the end. Thank you @PsychTimes for the commentary invitation.

The politicization of gender-affirming care creates a harmful and dangerous reality for transgender youth. @ScottLeibowitz ow.ly/8py350ORLt9



Let the symposium begin. Some of the most brilliant researchers and clinicians across Europe are here and ready to discuss the state of the science and care. #EPATH2023

In this era, it feels normal to expect mistruths to come from politicians. So when they come from our fellow academic colleagues, it’s unfortunate and undermines the trust in the integrity of the work. Here is an accurate list of the @wpath #soc8 authors: wpath.org/media/cms/Docu…

This post is unavailable.

The politicization of these issues is another tragedy that is demonstrative of this polarized world we live in. As a physician in the very thick of it, I can tell you that both doing and defending the work simultaneously is very draining.

Kate McKinnon stops by the Update desk to discuss Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill


Proud to be a part of @AACAP & its unwavering support of #LGBTQ, trans/gender diverse youth, and their families. Promoting acceptance, not fear, is what we all need to unify around. @GovernorAbbott: learn about the care before speaking harmful nonsense. aacap.org/AACAP/zLatest_…


It is the year 2022 and yet politicians continue to believe that legislating against ethical, mainstream-supported gender affirming care for young people is okay. This is an egregious affront to family decision-making rights & would have needless & devastating consequences.

🚨HB 454 is scheduled for a Hearing this Thursday. We need YOUR help to stop this harmful bill. ☎️ Call the Chair of the Committee today: equalityohio.org/call-mancheste…

After 3 years, biweekly zoom meetings & so many sleepless nights we have the draft SOC8 guidelines available for public comment. My hope is this will be received well and we'll get constructive feedback to make it even better @WPATH #SOC8

Even the mere introduction of these discriminatory legislative efforts- regardless of their ultimate success- sends a message to trans and gender diverse young people that they are “other”- and that is unacceptable. Support @EqualityOhio and protect trans youth.

Drs. Gayathri Chelvakumar and @ScottLeibowitz share why recent bills increase stigma and isolation felt by many transgender youth: bit.ly/3w5AKeI Via @DispatchAlerts



Honored to be a guest on Dr. Mike’s @pediacast this week speaking about trans and gender diverse youth and the THRIVE program at @nationwidekids! #Pride2021

This week, we consider support for transgender and gender diverse youth in pediatric practice. Gender identity is an important element of childhood development, and pediatric professionals are well-positioned to support families when challenges arise. bit.ly/3vTQql9

Speaking at the @HRC Leadership Summit on the harms of anti-trans legislative efforts have on youth across the country. The mere introduction of these bills can be devastating for young people. I am honored to continue to bridge the collaborative efforts between @AACAP and HRC.

Very grateful to have Dr. @ScottLeibowitz to speak on ethical considerations for trans youth care at our IGM Diversity and Inclusion Seminar Series.


Sadly, Arkansas politicians want to use vulnerable trans youth as political pawns, disregarding the life threatening outcomes these laws will create, while ignoring all major medical professional associations, including my own, @AACAP Awful & shameful. cnn.com/2021/04/06/pol…

1 year ago, the Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion 1st opened its doors to patients. This morning an employee snapped a pic of the sun rising over the building. So many have been through these doors in the last year, & we are proud to be part of their care journey #OnOurSleeves

Time to pass the #EqualityAct! Proud to be a part of an organization of child/adolescent psychiatrists, @AACAP, that appreciates the importance of banning discrimination against sexual and gender minorities. Acceptance and support saves lives. aacap.org/AACAP/Latest_N…

Our neighbor, @RepMTG, tried to block the Equality Act because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is “disgusting, immoral, and evil.” Thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door 😉🏳️‍⚧️
