New Post: The myth of expert consensus is finally being challenged in Canada
A letter by 19 Canadian physicians expressing their dissent to the unquestioned mainstreaming of gender affirming care is an important development

In 2024, the Canadian Medical Association issued a statement calling puberty blockers and cross sex hormones for kids “evidence based.”
Which means the CMA doesn’t understand what evidence based medicine even is.
When every single systematic review in existence finds the evidence for a treatment low to very low quality, you simply cannot call the treatment evidence based.
How on earth are we supposed to trust these people?
Link to the full episode with @thesovereignceo below. It was an excellent conversation!
3. The same is true of gender dysphoria - a non-specific response. The purpose of therapy or any support should be to understand the nature/cause of the dysphoria because only with that understanding, can there be meaningful change or contextualization.
New article chronicles failure of Dutch clinicians to respond scientifically and appropriately to problems of evidence from their own clinic.
Also documents how the Dutch (and others) responded by shifting the rationales for treatment.
Great article. Open-access 👇
The ongoing silence of our politicians is concerning.
The moment systematic reviews stopped supporting the "affirmation only" approach, a public discussion should have occurred.
We remain open to discussing our concerns.
When I introduced legislation last fall to protect BC kids from irreversible gender transitions, I knew the NDP wouldn’t enact it into law. We now have a Premier in waiting who doesn’t need any convincing. Kerry-Lynne will protect our kids!
Finally, the EHRC guide on single-sex spaces is expected today.
There's a poll in this article: 97% agree that single-sex facilities should be provided on the basis of biological sex 👇
I’m outside the annual general meeting of the Canadian paediatric Society in Ottawa, talking to pediatricians,
@CanPaedSociety needs to make a call for an independent review of evidence.
If the so-called evidence is good, then they’ve got nothing to lose.
NEW: @jessesingal with new revelations, based on FOIAs, about the Johanna Olson-Kennedy-led, @NIH-funded ($10m) research initiative on pediatric gender medicine. 🧵
NIH was misled with help from @wpath and @TheEndoSociety.
The creation of the first detransitioner clinic at Texas Children's Hospital is a massive win and a big step toward exposing the lie that “gender-affirming care” is evidence based and medically necessary.
Gender doctors and activists have to be FORCED to acknowledge detransitioners because their existence shines a bright light on the pseudoscientific lie that everyone is born with an innate and immutable gender identity we all sense from toddlerhood, that it can be misaligned from our bodies, and that this mismatch can be corrected with puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries.
This is all complete nonsense. I am glad to have been able to discuss this with @PrishaMosley recently on @NTDNews.
🚨BREAKING NEWS: Our Charter challenge will proceed!
"Associate Judge Catharine Moore dismissed the federal government’s motion to strike the constitutional challenge ... In a separate ruling, the Court granted caWsbar public interest standing."

Society doesn’t have any moral obligation to accommodate your transition if you don’t have gender dysphoria.
These accommodations are typically supported precisely because they alleviate the suffering of dysphoria, so, if you take that away, all you have left is a quirky lifestyle choice that grates on other people’s patience.
@CTVNews Except the man in your picture, Fae Johnstone, doesn't want "equality for all", does he?
He wants women and girls' sex-based Charter rights to disappear and any woman who objects silenced:
For GC Canadians filling out the online census just under the wire 😬, @PdfQuebec94919 has, imv, helpful instructions re sex and gender.
Answer sections 3 and 4 the same, ie, use your sex, and at the end in the comment section add:
"We ask Statistics Canada:
• to always ask a question about sex (male or female)
• that this question always precede the question about gender
• that the sex variable take precedence in the data analysis
• and that citizens be able to declare that they do not have a gender identity."

'Other' is not an option. Teaching children that it is, is political and ideological indoctrination.
Parents need to check every survey their child is given, because this is the route 'gender identity' is now being presented to children as fact.
