Intressant att Eva 1) menar omfattande psykiatrisk utredning ett måste 2) är tveksam till dagens expansiva flytande identitetsbegrepp.

“Reed also reported a 17-year-old girl’s birth canal allegedly being ripping open during sex, unaware that taking testosterone (as part of a female-to-male transition) would cause her to bleed extensively.”

“Explosive claims that a Missouri children’s transgender clinic was hastily prescribing hormone drugs to some young patients, including those with psychiatric issues, have been corroborated — some seven months [after a whistleblower was branded a liar].” https://t.co/RlKeWYmD8B

This is probably the worst column in Bustos et al., table 2. Mean ages at surgery for males. There are 27 papers, and they originally managed to put incorrect data for 14 of them.

They made 4 changes for the erratum, making one brand new error, messing up two*, and fixing one.

The madness is beginning to end BACP finally acknowledges the right to believe in the reality of biological sex. But what about all the therapists who have been silenced because of that belief and the trans people medically harmed by that silencing? https://t.co/6D2rYZUK66

I still have trouble reconciling:

"Children know who they are"
and
No one knew they were non-binary until social media.

[Jon Pike @runthinkwrite]

I can see why Vogue have gone for this (inaccurate) headline.
The alternative (accurate) one: "I was banned from female cycling because I'm male" lacks edgy character.

Unlike European countries who are working together, the @AmerAcadPeds is choosing American exceptionalism. Their decision to ignore the existing systematic reviews' findings, and to reaffirm the AAP "affirmation" policy is at odds with the principles of evidence-based medicine./5

[SEGM @segm_ebm]

The journal of the Danish Medical Association Ugeskrift for Læger has confirmed that Denmark is restricting medical transition of gender-dysphoric minors. Only 6% of the gender clinic referrals were approved for transition in 2022, down from 65% in 2018./1

I hadn’t hear of this before.

Parents are organizing an international day-long walk out from their kids’ schools on Sept 14th.

They’re sending a message to schools about teaching confusing gender beliefs to their students.

The fact that people can be cancelled for holding beliefs grounded in biological reality tells us just how twisted society has become.

Please fight this.

[SEGM @segm_ebm]

A recent study in @JAMASurgery asserts that satisfaction with masculinizing mastectomies among some adults means that such procedures should not be restricted for minors. Read our latest analysis of the study's limitations at our newest Spotlight./1

[SEGM @segm_ebm]

The study's claims of "high long-term satisfaction" are not trustworthy due to serious methodological problems. Further, they are not applicable to the issue of regulating youth mastectomies, which the authors and the invited commentators have centered in their discussion. /2

[Leor Sapir @LeorSapir]

NEW: The Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (@segm) has just published a critical analysis of the new study on regret following "gender-affirming" mastectomy surgery.

Here are the highlights 🧵

[Leor Sapir @LeorSapir]

SEGM concludes: "Prestigious scientific journals appear to have deviated from their previously high standards... & instead have become vehicles for promoting poor-quality research seemingly to influence judicial policy decisions rather than advance scientific understanding."

I think know why Aaron got kicked out:

Maybe "safe" and "holistic" violate the norms of conduct for WPATH.

[SEGM @segm_ebm]

We welcome the @AmerAcadPeds's decision to conduct a systematic review of evidence for youth gender transitions. However, the AAP's choice to re-affirm its current policy ignores the findings from the existing systematic reviews. Read our analysis below:

[SEGM @segm_ebm]

Dr. McNamara is entitled to her opinion on the Florida Boards' of Medicine decision to curb gender transition of minors. What she is not entitled to is her own version of facts. Sadly, misrepresenting facts has become a go-to tactic for many in the field of gender medicine./25
