Gender critical dad. Father of a detrans daughter. Tired of all the gender batshittery.

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@CIGNA you were warned.

In 2017 @CIGNA paid for a gender quack to perform a double mastectomy on my daughter. My daughter has since detransitioned, but her harms are irreversible.

Pasted below is the body of the third message I sent to @CIGNA CEO and Board of Directors in 2018. I tried to warn them about what was coming their way, not just to possibly save my daughter from the harms they were funding, but to also save other daughters from those harms.

In all, I sent three letters to the Board. None of members of the Board felt that a reply was necessary, even though in my letter I provided ample references to justify action on their behalf.

These letters were sent in 2018 and all of what I warned them about has come true. I will be watching with great interest when @chloecole takes on @AboutKP.

This letter went to all of the Board of Directors at the time, as follows:

· Alan Muney
· CEO David M. Cordani
· Donna F. Zarcone
· Eric C. Wiseman
· Eric J. Foss
· Isaiah Harris
· James E. Rogers
· John M. Partridge
· Nicole Jones
· Roman Martines
· William D. Zollers

Board of Directors

This is now my third letter to Cigna’s board of directors. I have yet to receive a reply from any board member to any of my previous letters. I have tried to appeal to you as humans and as parents, but that has not inspired you to act. But this matter should also concern the board from a risk perspective, because your failure to act represents a significant financial liability to Cigna.

In the interactions I have had with Cigna, through xxxxxx, she has attempted to placate me with the assurance that Cigna takes into consideration all new research on the topic of gender dysphoria in adolescents. But as more and more evidence and research has emerged, Cigna continues to sit on the sidelines. Sitting it out would be fine except for the fact that your negligence is resulting in the permanent disfigurement and emotional harm to young people. In my last letter I attempted to draw your attention to new research by Lisa Littman, a researcher at the Icahn School of Medicine. Her peer-reviewed research was predictably attacked by trans activists but has not been discredited.

Cigna chose to ignore Dr. Littman’s work, but many researchers and concerned clinicians did not. Since my last letter much more research has emerged that gives credence to Dr. Littman’s work. The British Journal of Medicine has spoken out strongly against “permanent, premature medicalization” as a treatment for gender dysphoria (GD).

Even as the cries for caution from clinicians rise in number and pitch, more and more young people are de-transitioning. These young people’s stories are showing up in large numbers all over social media, and in mainstream media.

The mainstream media has chosen to remain silent on this topic for a long time, giving organizations like Cigna air cover to continue to back junk science, cow to trans activists, and pretend it isn’t happening. That, too, is changing. The MSM now under pressure to come clean and report both sides of the story.

Research from Tavistock shows almost a 10% desistance rate in the first 18 months after transition. The longer-term desistance rate is likely to be much higher. Cigna is paying for irreversible procedures that you now know will lead to significant levels of regret. Some of those that desist will seek further medical and psychological help. Historical data suggests that a measurable number will request, attempt or commit suicide.

The backlash against responsible and complicit organizations is going to be massive, because the nature of this contagion is so horrific. This contagion has affected our most vulnerable – our children. Our sons and daughters have been subjected to non-FDA approved drugs. Our sons and daughters, under the spell of this contagion, have requested surgical mutilations, meanwhile denied access to psychotherapy. Our children have been fast-tracked into these procedures. Those that have escaped now agree with many of the parents and describe the experience as cult-like. Adults, who should have known better, and acted like adults, failed them. When the reality of what has been going on hits shows like 60 Minutes, every previous expose will pale in comparison. This one is going to be the mother of them all. Organizations that have been repeatedly warned, and that had access to research, and an obligation to react to research, are particularly vulnerable. Will it play well when it is public that Cigna has been funding surgeons mutilating young women’s bodies like this?

The time for leadership and compassion has passed. You can only hope to mitigate the damage now. My recommendations remain largely the same:

· Stop covering these harmful surgeries and hormone treatments in adolescents for anyone under the age of 18, and only then with proper consideration of underlying conditions.
· Recognize that ROGD needs further research, and, if confirmed as a condition, ROGD would no longer be treated with WPATH standard treatment.
· Make a public statement about this new research, either on their own merits, or in the aggregate. In the aggregate, it is compelling, and the rate of release is increasing. Cigna should simply state that this research gives you pause, and you need time to consider what is best for these young people.
· Reconsider the treatment of these young women with WPATH standards. They do not qualify for treatment with WPATH standards because their preconditions have not been adequately addressed, specifically ROGD and other documented mental health issues.
· Send a letter to clinicians in your network, advising them that you are concerned about the treatment of young women with ROGD.
· Dedicate resources to understanding this mental health crisis. This will help to protect yourself against future litigation by demonstrating you took the crisis seriously and it will help to slow the contagion, giving researchers time to do their work.

You have been cowing to the trans lobby while children have been unnecessarily sacrificed for their cause. This letter is more strongly worded than the other two because I firmly believe momentum is finally turning and the contagion is breaking. For Cigna, the calculus has changed. I urge you to take action now.

Sincerely,

@Alonso_GD These uppity women, asking that their sex class be solely for women. The nerve. The very nerve. So fucking unreasonable.

It just doesn't add up.

[Danni @DanniBrener]

@FaeriesHand @mgtruth So why don’t we put all vulnerable men in the ladies? Old men? Gay men? Disabled men?

Is it a room for female people or is it a room for “vulnerable” people? And who determines how vulnerable one must be before granted access?

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@JennaFights4You That's quite an admission.

@micheal_olainn After TRAs attempted (but failed miserably) to win this argument through bullying, threatening and clinging to the "no debate" approach for years, you might want to consider shutting the fuck up.

@Theleftorwright Do you remember the precise moment when your ability to reason snapped and you started believing it was ok for men to malappropriate womanhood and you needed to scold women for failing to cheer for it?

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@stacycay It makes me wonder just how much TRA money it took to get @TomSteyer to pretend this is ok and suck up to a boy pretending to be a girl.

So much cringe.

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@datadriven_tdoc What little regard you have for your followers, lying to their faces like they are so stupid they will believe you and not their own eyes.

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@TomSteyer Could you take a moment and explain why women (yeah actual women) are invisible to you? Asking for my daughters.

Thanks in advance.

@AGallagherAlly Men are a threat to women.

A man with the delusion that he is a woman still retains mens' predisposition for violence towards women.

In fact, data suggests that trans identifying men sexually offend at a higher rate than other men.

[Andrea Mew @andreajmew]

It’s not lost on me that @jk_rowling continues to sound the alarm about the harms of gender ideology on minors.

Ms. Rowling… we can put you in touch with many more young women and men who experienced harm at the hands of so-called medical professionals. Are you game?

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@UnionJacked__ @AjaTheEmpress Some counterfeit money is convincing. It's still fake.

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@UnionJacked__ They could use the donations because most sane, rational thinking people are waking to the realization that trans is utter nonsense.

Not sure why you are still clinging to a sinking boat full of batshit.

[TransLogicEatsItself @DadsRogd]

@michaelshermer @ScienceBasedMed Ok. And some of them are evil.
