🇨🇦 Parliament resumes on the 23rd and #billc8 to bank conversion therapy is likely to be reintroduced. This is a thread of some of my previous threads on the matter for reference purposes. This was a detailed comment on the previous bill. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1269735… /2
WPATH can't catch a break. Even though the ACLU agreed to dismiss Boe v Marshall, where it challenged the Alabama law banning medical transition of minors, a federal judge has just ordered that more of the documents WPATH disclosed be made public. /2
Many of the documents produced by WPATH were subject to a protective order and could not be published but the judge ruled that recordings or WPATH and USPATH conferences and panel discussions were not confidential and were not covered by the order. /3 reason.com/volokh/2025/06…
Although WPATH was not a party to the case, the judge ordered it to produce documents relating to its standards of care as they were the basis of the plaintiff's claim that gender affirming treatments were medically necessary. /4justdad7180.substack.com/p/boe-v-marsha…
1/ The report of the Quebec Comité de sages sur l'identité de genre is out. It is over 200 pages in French only so it will take me some time to review. The recommendations are modest and often vague but do represented some small progress. Link is in the next Tweet.
2/ The report consists of two volumes and a summary. This is a summary of the summary. The links are on this page:quebec.ca/gouvernement/m…
3/ The first chapter discusses the evolution of the phenomenon of gender identity. It is clear that sex is binary but it does get intersex wrong. Here are the recommendations with an English translation by Deepl.
1/ The Canadian Medical Association is challenging Alberta legislation restricting pediatric medical transition on the grounds that it violates the Charter by restricting physician's freedom of conscience.
2/ The Alberta law bans puberty blockers, limits cross sex hormones to patients over 18 and surgery to those over 18. It is part of a larger package that covers social transition in schools and sports. justdad7180.substack.com/p/alberta-chal…
3/ The issue of doctors' freedom of conscience was considered in Canada when a group of Christian doctors challenged a regulation requiring them to refer patients who wanted medically assisted death to a doctor who did not object to this practice. canadianlutheran.ca/christian-doct…
1/ The plaintiffs in the challenge to the Alabama law restricting medical transition of minors have agreed to drop the case. Boe v. Marshall has probably done more to undermine the case for WPATH and pediatric gender medicine than any other legal action.
2/ The masterstroke by the Alabama Attorney General was to bring a motion to compel the World Professional Association for Transgender Health to produce the correspondence relating to the creation of its SOC8. justdad7180.substack.com/p/boe-v-marsha…
3/ What WPATH produced was a whole arsenal of smoking guns which disclosed the political manipulation of the standards of care and shredded what remained of WPATH's reputation as a trustworthy clinical and scientific organization.
1/ Some good news from the UK. The @Sullivan_Review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender will likely have a wider effect on breaking the destructive hold of gender ideology than the Cass Review.
@Sullivan_Review 2/ The review is a comprehensive rejection of the ideas and assumptions behind gender ideology. You can read the full report and an executive summary here. assets.publishing.service.gov.ukgov.uk/government/pub…
@Sullivan_Review 3/ The basic premise of the review is that sex and gender identity are both important factors in people's lives but they are separate and government agencies need to record them separately.
1/ The BC College of Nurses and Nurse Midwives (which recently found Amy Hamm (@preta_6) is not getting much love on Google. It has a one star rating and the first review reads, "The staff are very unprofessional and boderline abusive."
@preta_6 2/ If you sort the reviews by date, the most recent review (from a month ago) is a five star review but after that the reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Out if 161 reviews I could only find 2 other positive reviews and 10 ratings that were above 1 star.
@preta_6 3/ There were repeated complaints about rude staff, cumbersome bureaucracy and fees that were excessive in respect of other provinces. All of these reviews predated the Amy Hamm decision and some of them go back to before the complaint was filed.
