The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has sent a letter to the director of the @NIH expressing alarm that Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy told the @NYTimes that she has withheld null findings from her NIH-funded study of puberty blockers for gender dysphoric minors. The…

A new investigation by @BMJ_latest examines the influence of top @WPATH officers over the development of new @WHO TGD (trans-identified and gender diverse) clinical practice guidelines for adults, which includes the vulnerable subgroup of young adults. /1 bmj.com/content/387/bm…

The American Journal of Bioethics deserves credit for publishing this Letter from me and Jilles Smids, in which we raise objections to a recent AJOB Guest Editorial and call for greater care on the part of journals publishing on pediatric gender medicine. tandfonline.com/eprint/JSYF4K9…

The Global Pediatric Medicine Field Has a Clear Habit Of Hiding—And Discouraging—Inconvenient Research Findings 🧵I report: What NYT reported about Johanna Olson-Kennedy sitting on her null findings on puberty blockers is but one such story in a field in which many researchers…

Where have we heard this before? US follows UK. Findings of a study begun in 2015 show no improvement to wellbeing of children given puberty blockers. Doctors say they haven’t published because they don’t want findings weaponised. 9 years they’ve known. nytimes.com/2024/10/23/sci…

MASSIVE scoop here. Many of us have wondered why Johanna Olson-Kennedy's team, which has received ~$10 million in NIH funding, hasn't published its study on puberty blockers. JOK says the results weren't positive and she doesn't want them weaponized. nytimes.com/2024/10/23/sci…

NEW: Azeen Ghorayshi reports in the @nytimes that prominent gender clinician Johanna Olson-Kennedy of @ChildrensLA has refused to publish data from a study on puberty blockers, fearing that the unimpressive results will be "weaponized" by critics of "gender-affirming care." 🧵

The recent criticism of the Cass Review, misrepresented as "Yale critique," is not a genuine scientific effort but an attempt to influence U.S. litigation in youth gender medicine, new BMJ peer-reviewed paper by leading UK medical professionals finds. /1 segm.org/Cass_Integrity…

🧵Speaking with the @NYPost, @PaulGarciaRyan, executive director of @TherapyFirstOrg, which prioritizes counseling for gender-distressed youths, pointed to Europe as a preview for what will become of U.S. pediatric gender medicine. A half-dozen systematic literature reviews have…

If I were a parent of a patient, I would find this upsetting. Such nakedly cynical, anti-scientific, unethical maneuvering on the part of people who have an obligation to protect and promote the health of vulnerable patients. Children, in this case. alabamaag.gov/wp-content/upl…

The summary of the argument in the Alabama attorney general’s scathing amicus brief to the Supreme Court regarding the case over Tennessee’s pediatric gender-transition treatment. The document rakes @WPATH over the coals. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/2…

Those who told the truth about the damage extreme gender ideology was causing children are some of the bravest I’ve ever met. As Equalities Minister, I did all I could to protect them but I knew my time in the role was running out. Getting their voices into parliament would…

When I've brought up the Cass Review in recent interviews, US clinicians had either never heard of it or dismissed it outright as "politically motivated" and "fearmongering." Here's a solid source on what it is, what it isn't, and how it's been maligned. adc.bmj.com/content/early/…

1/ The authors of the Canadian Paediatric Society position statement on gender affirming care have now published a response to the recent letter to the editor calling for a review of the position statement in light of the Cass Review. academic.oup.com/pch/advance-ar…

🚨A new peer-reviewed article in @ADC_BMJ defends @thecassreview against criticism from the “Yale Integrity Project” white paper. @YaleMed’s McNamara et al. misrepresent the Review and EBM. Their white paper is properly understood as a legal not a scientific document. ⬇️⬇️

I make the case that Canada review their position on gender affirming care for minors following the findings of the Cass Review in my LTE published by Paediatrics & Child Health. Read it here: academic.oup.com/pch/advance-ar… (PDF available).

BREAKING: At Least 14,000 U.S. Minors Have Received Gender-Transition Treatment or Surgeries In 5 Years, With Docs Billing $120 million 🧵I report: This is a conservative estimate from a new, comprehensive analysis of insurance-claims data by the advocacy nonprofit Do No Harm,…

This is a must-read about how the Southern Poverty Law Center designated the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (@SEGM_EBM) as a hate group in part due to donations from foundations that also fund the @splcenter Also, the SPLC is denigrating SEGM as a hate group even…

.@GorinMoti and I discuss the failure of philosophy and bioethics to address the issues raised by gender-affirming healthcare. philpapers.org/rec/BYRADS

I've been in the gender rabbit hole for 7 years, and yet this is one of the most powerful things I've read. It's the story of @JamieWhistle's spouse, who is detransitioning after 13 years. thefp.com/p/tiger-jamie-…
