🚨 Massive news with worldwide repercussions!

The FTC, along with Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services.

WPATH, an association of clinicians who profit from pediatric medical transition services, recommended medical interventions, including drugs and surgery, for children and adolescents who expressed dissatisfaction with or distress about their sex traits. In their complaint, the FTC and its state partners allege that these recommendations misled parents and children about the medical consensus and medical necessity, as well as the safety and effectiveness, of such services, in violation of the FTC Act.

"Today, the FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries," said Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson.

"Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services. For decades, the FTC has taken action against entities that make deceptive and unsubstantiated health-related claims. The complaint filed today reflects that same long-standing mandate: when an entity makes a claim about a medical treatment, the claim must be truthful, evidence-based and not misleading."

In 2022, WPATH omitted all mention of age limitations for breast amputation or penis removal from the "Standards of Care" document providing the organization's official recommendations for treating sex-trait-related dissatisfaction or distress in children.

As alleged in the complaint, WPATH did not base this decision on medical evidence.
As described in the complaint, in several instances, parents seeking help for their children were asked by clinicians whether they "would rather have a live daughter or a dead son," based on WPATH representations that pediatric medical transition services are "lifesaving." As the complaint argues, there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence to suggest these interventions reduce the risk of suicide.

WPATH claims its recommendations represent "consensus-based expert opinion." This leads WPATH members and other clinicians to repeat to consumers false, misleading or unsubstantiated statements about safety and efficacy found in WPATH guidelines, according to the complaint.

According to the complaint, despite the absence of competent and reliable scientific evidence, WPATH's guidelines label nearly every pediatric transition service as "medically necessary" to maximize the likelihood that insurers will pay for the pediatric transition procedures.

Today I received a copy of a letter from a psychiatry department in Canada referring an 18 yr old female for ‘chest surgery’.
The child has been in counseling with me for a few weeks now.
The letter exposes shameful levels of incompetence.
This person has obvious cPTSD and body dysmorphia but the referral letter clears her for surgery claiming she shows “understanding”.
This is blatantly incompetent. No deeper evaluation was done.
Now we battle to convince her that the psychiatry department of a university is grossly incompetent.
😓😓😓

Elon Musk: "I was tricked into doing this. It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs. So, I lost my son, essentially

My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus

So, I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we're making some progress"

I just watched a video of a girl who was put on testosterone at 14 talk about her voice changing and how no one told her that testosterone doesn’t just lower your voice.
It literally thickens the vocal cords, and the female larynx is not built to accommodate that, now it hurts for her to even speak.

I had no idea and I wonder how much other crap like this nobody is being told. Putting children on this crap and changing their lives forever should be a crime for both parents and doctors.

Social Contagion is when false or irrational beliefs spread rapidly through group identification, peer validation, and algorithmic reinforcements. It's demonstrated by those demanding others affirm objectively false premises.

It spreads fast in schools and online.

So many red flags.

Today I called the @TrevorProject Su*cide Hotline number posing as a 15-year-old girl who believes she is a transgender boy.

I told the Trevor Project crisis counselor that my mom misgendered me and made me feel unsafe at home. I asked if moving into my softball coach's house was a good idea as he promised to help me get online “T” (testosterone) and my breasts removed (top surgery).

The Trevor Project counselor said it sounded like a great plan.

Insanity. 🧵

It is not rude or cruel to say what’s real and true or to refuse to participate in another person’s delusion.

Going along w/preferred pronouns is dangerous - it forces us to cede entire arguments about who can play in which sporting event, disrobe in which locker room and enter into which prison before we’ve even made our case. (“She” can’t play in women’s sports makes no sense; HE can’t do it makes everything clear.)

Preferred pronouns are meant to dull our senses to get us accustomed to the gender-bending lies we are being told - it’s an effort to override instincts that are there for good reason … including, for women, their own safety. It can literally be a matter of life and death for a girl to learn to listen to her own instincts about when a man is present. Teaching her to force herself to lie about that is teaching her to dull her gift of fear.

Don’t let a man like Benjamin tell you that you are rude or cruel if you stand up for reality as well as your, your daughter’s, and all of our daughters’ safety.
