@Beepisboopis@PoliticsMichael @caromitchell1 @PinkNews That’s the problem. Throw them all out until your goon community understands one isn’t a valid identity. 🤣
Five key facts everyone should know about the @AmerAcadPeds 2018 policy statement on “gender affirming care” for kids:
1. As explained in the document, the policy was conceptualized, written, revised, and approved by a single author.
2. The author, Dr. Jason Rafferty, was then still in his residency.
3. The document explicitly says that it “does not… serve as a standard of care.” But that is how it has been understood by many in the medical community, and the AAP has done virtually nothing to dispel that impression. See, e.g., amicus briefs filed by medical groups on behalf of plaintiffs in lawsuits challenging state age restrictions.
4. Rafferty agreed to be “accountable” for the document’s contents, but neither he nor the AAP have ever responded to the authoritative, peer-reviewed critique by Dr. James Cantor: https://t.co/7FjiLNAigD
5. The 2018 statement uses a method called a “narrative review,” which in evidence-based medicine is considered far less reliable than a systematic review due to its vulnerability to author bias (cherry picking of studies and failure to conduct rigorous evaluation of the strength of the evidence). See Cantor’s fact-check (link above) for extensive evidence of this bias.
@KevinWa35381605 @MailOnline Literally nobody is banning COUNSELING for dysphoric children. Not a single law has been proposed that would disallow dysphoric children counseling.
@Arkhaman95 @chfarrakhwaseem@jakeshieldsajj Palestine didn’t even exist as a country 100 years ago. Forgive me if I don’t give a fuck that the natives are taking back their land from terroristic goat fuckers.
Muslims did not ethnically cleanse any region of the world they went to.
They did not kill 300 million muslims in India like british did.
They did not kill millions in Nigeria like dutch did. Nor did they cut of their arms if they did not meet their quota of cotton a day.
They did not lock black people in zoo with other animals like dutch did.
They did not killed millions of native Americans like Europeans did in North America.
They did not enslave population of Africa like French did.
