It is difficult to make someone [ evaluate | understand | believe | communicate ] an idea if his [ identity | worldview | livelihood | social status ] depends on his not doing so. (Paraphrasing Upton Sinclair)

I published my first article about pediatric gender medicine a year ago today. Here is a 🧵of my reporting on the subject over the past 12 months:

The second batch of F-16s from Denmark has arrived in Ukraine. This is an example of leadership in defending lives that sets Denmark apart. The aircraft from the first batch, provided by the Danish people, are already intercepting Russian missiles, saving our people’s lives and…

Developmental psychology went off the rails about 10-15 years ago. Gender clinicians now spew utter nonsense they concocted out of thin air. What happened to these people? (Susan Landon is one of the other defendants in the lawsuit just filed against Johanna Olson Kennedy.)

2-year-olds can change their gender weekly. Disembodiment of mind and body. @marycatedelvey @elonmusk

How much sympathy are we supposed to have for Germans in 1945 while they continued to fight? It could be that the answer is "a lot." You tell me. I suggest screaming loudly: Surrender and release the hostages. Then we can begin the Marshall Plan and the Berlin Airlift.

“I have nothing to return to.” In a powerful interview, Palestinian poet @MosabAbuToha says dozens of family members and friends have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in the past year, and speaks of his pain that his poetry cannot do more to stop the violence and destruction.

Billions of people, living in societies where violence & chaos rule, long for the stability of the first world. Meanwhile some of the world’s most privileged think hard-earned social norms like “don’t solve problems with murder” are lame & will call you names for espousing them.

Imagine unironically thinking the murder of a healthcare CEO is bad. Absolutely spineless bootlicker bullshit

Lorenz has a tenuous grasp on sanity and civility. For a while she will manage to keep it together. But then something will provoke her, and the veil will slip.

I had no idea she was this crazy.

Wow. Justice Alito: the Cass Report finds of no evidence that gender Rx prevents suicide. Strangio: "completed suicide is thankfully and admittedly rare," the studies apply to suicidal ideation/behavior. Has the @ACLU just abandoned the "dead daughter/live son" narrative?

Some soapboxing meta-commentary on Smellgate and my reactions: Bluntly, many areas I care about in academia are a complete mess right now, in ways that the thesis under discussion shows signs of contributing to. If someone wants to poke through papers and provide sharp…

The social media pile-on is real and the woman doesn't deserve harassment or hate. But I'd argue that you're seeing a lot of poignant criticisms mixed in with there too. And those deserve to be listened to, but they are all being dismissed as trolling or incel rage.

From lawyer very involved in cases like this: Justice Barrett had probably the most important question of the day so far. Roughly, "if there were a new drug that transitioned kids, regardless of the sex, and a state banned it, would heightened scrutiny apply?" SG said "no." That…

Studies on attractiveness are unlikely to teach us much. A major problem with these studies is that the methods they use are so weird that a 'failed replication' might not actually constitute a replication failure. Consider the case of two competing studies, one from Argentina,…

The rewriting of history begins. Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos. I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans…

'Landscape with Rising Sun.' (1828) In his day, Joseph Gandy was called 'The English Piranesi,' and seen as one of the great visionaries of the Romantic movement. He was an architect for three decades for Sir John Soane, and as a watercolourist, worked much in the same way as…

Exactly. We can fight the good without being unkind to people.

And more to the point - I think maybe we shouldn't analyse some stranger on the internet for the grossest signs of wrongthink or privilege, in order to post hoc justify the fact she has been attacked and humiliated on a massive scale for celebrating getting a qualification

I dunno man, I'm just pretty confident we can win this stupid gender fight without banning any words. Let them have their terminology and make themselves look even crazier. Why wouldn't you want to be the chill, normal side by contrast?
