This is frankly excellent work on the part of my favorite severely normal homos (and bis) at the LGB Alliance.

"If our interests are being hijacked by the false premise of gender identity ideology rather than modern sex-based rights, it poses an existential threat to gay rights, then we obviously do not consent to the Action Plan!"

More based excellence, please!

Please take the time to read, support, and call you MP.

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨🚨

Fox reports:

"American taxpayers will no longer be on the hook for child sex-change hormones or surgeries, as a key Trump administration agency announced Tuesday that Medicaid will stop funding such procedures and therapies.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz tells Fox News Digital that the decision to implement a rule pulling the funding is 'consistent with [the Trump administration's] commitment to protect children from experimental and life-altering sex-rejecting procedures that carry serious long-term health risks and lack sufficiently reliable evidence of clinical benefit...."'

A key post from a @McMasterU scientist who went through a lot just to publish a peer-reviewed paper on the (poor) quality of WPATH Standards of Care 8. The question of how to care for gender-dysphoric youth has been presented by WPATH as settled—until it was challenged in court.

[Yuan Zhang- Build Back Trust in Public Health @Real_YuanZhang]

WPATH claims it is “contributing to [medical] debate.” But as someone “contributing to the debate” from the opposite side, I cannot make sense of my experiences if this is merely a debate.

Why do my coauthors, I, and many others like us need to overcome anxiety, and, for some, even fear, to put our names forward? Why do we need to clear so many hurdles, including some that we would call censorship? Why do we need to face being named and shamed after publishing papers that disagree with WPATH?

WPATH may not be directly involved in these actions. But WPATH is not merely contributing to a debate. WPATH is promoting a model, and many medical organizations and activist groups have bought into it. When faced with challenges, they either remain silent about the lack of evidence supporting the recommendations or defend the model vigorously.

The fact is that this “opinion” of WPATH is perceived and defended as a standard of care. This fact invites examination. For scientists, the examination is whether this standard of care is supported by evidence (no, it isn’t). For public authorities, the examination is whether WPATH has been dishonest in making these recommendations and promoting this model of care to a degree that crosses the threshold of fraud.

There is a distinction between defending a professional body’s freedom of expression and holding a professional body accountable for the consequences of making false claims.

[Leor Sapir @LeorSapir]

It's possible that WPATH just gave up the game.

If its recommendations are merely one "opinion" in a legitimate debate defined by "uncertainty," and if doctors should judge independently whether to follow them, why should insurers follow them? Why should judges defer to them as the accepted standard of care? Why should other medical groups endorse or at least not oppose them?

It's possible the FTC just got its win, regardless of how this case turns out.

Why would WPATH do this? Why would they throw trans-identified patients under the bus (as they see it)? Perhaps to save their own skin?

[Evidence Based Treatment @DoNoHarm79]

Doctors relying on WPATHs Standards of Care can longer claim they are following medically accepted and scientifically proven standards of care. Unfortunately it’s too late for the thousands of children and young adults irreversibly damaged by doctors who followed WPATHs SOC.

[Leor Sapir @LeorSapir]

This is remarkable. 👇

[Stats For Gender @statsforgender]

A study of children aged 12-15 receiving puberty blockers found their distress deteriorated, rather than improved

37-70% of patients showed no improvement in levels of distress. 15-34% showed deterioration, while only 9-29% showed improvement

🚨 BREAKING: HISTORIC SETTLEMENT ANNOUNCED WITH TEXAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL 

Today, Protecting Texas Children is announcing a landmark settlement between Texas Children's Hospital, the State of Texas, the United States, and Vanessa Sivadge, RN.
What began in 2023 with one pediatric nurse choosing to speak the truth has now resulted in a historic agreement with national implications.

Vanessa Sivadge, founder and president of Protecting Texas Children, came forward after witnessing what she believed were unlawful practices while working at Texas Children's Hospital. Her disclosures led to a government investigation under the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act and ultimately to today's landmark settlement.

The agreement includes:
🚨 A $10 million settlement
🚨 America’s first hospital-funded Detransitioner Clinic
🚨 Free medical and mental health services for detransitioners for at least five years
🚨 Major accountability reforms, enhanced oversight, and whistleblower education
🚨Five physicians affiliated with the hospital's gender-transition program terminated. 

It is a victory for every child, every family, and every detransitioner whose voice has been overlooked.

They call it “book banning” because “keeping pornography away from children” doesn’t sound nearly as sinister. The book in this clip is so explicit that I couldn’t open it in front of my own staff without creating an HR problem, yet it came from an actual school. We rate movies by age for a reason. Parents have every right to demand the same basic standards in their children’s classrooms. | @DeAngelisCorey

🇦�� Christine Kilpatrick chairs both Australia’s Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care and the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, whose gender clinic gives puberty blockers and cross sex hormones to minors.

@Bernard_Lane asks: who is ensuring accountability when the same person chairs both the hospital and a national body responsible for promoting safety and quality in healthcare?

[Genspect @genspect]

“I would have wanted everything to be explained to me in detail.”

At 17, Karlee began transitioning without parental consent. He was experiencing constant discomfort from internalised homophobia and decided to embark on a transition process to run away from being an effeminate gay man.

Years later, he came to regret that decision. In this candid interview, he reflects on what led him to transition, the initial relief, the doubts that emerged later, and now, the lasting consequences.

“None of these interventions: puberty blockers, hormones, or surgeries should be performed on kids." 🚫

Dr. Kurt Miceli explains why 10 major medical organizations were just sent a letter demanding an end to sex-rejecting treatments on minors.

🚨 WPATH has conceded in court that its "Standards of Care" is merely an opinion. WPATH says it represents one side of an unsettled scientific debate marked by uncertainty — and physicains & orgs that rely on WPATH as the standard of care must bear "independent responsibility."/1

When personal desires infringe on the rights of women and girls, we face a serious issue. It's crucial to prioritize sex-based rights, starting @ONeducation from K-12.

Schrödingers Trans:

Ein Phänomen, bei dem Frauenräume, Sport, Sprache usw. so irrelevant und unwichtig sind, dass Frauen sie bedenkenlos aufgeben sollten – und gleichzeitig so folgenreich und notwendig, dass Männer, die sich als Frauen bezeichnen, sterben, wenn sie sie nicht bekommen.

[Elliott au tutorat @ostensiblygay]

Wow. This is a heart-rending read.

We have a duty to ensure that kids who will be adult gays and lesbians can always grow up to be intact and healthy.
