It was three years ago that @LisaLittman1 published her seminal work on adolescent onset gender dysphoria, a new phenomena not previously described in the scientific literature.

More shenanigans!

You may have noticed that the World Health Organization (WHO) is planning to release guidance on "the health of trans and gender diverse people," but have you noticed the dodgy timing?

who.int/news/item/18-1…
The announcement above was on the 18th of December. They are soliciting public comment from now until the 7th of January.

Friends in Europe tell me that the Christmas holidays there extend past the day, until the 12th night. Nobody opens their PC. That's January 6.

Interesting.
The WHO is not WPATH (who just *identifies* as a professional organization). They have rules about how guidelines are made. On this particular special topic, they are not following their own rules.

e.g. rules on managing conflicts of interest (🧵):

A doctor friend of mine shared an idea that I think has great merit: detransitioners can file complaints against their gender doctors not in court (they can do that as well, but that's a hard road) but with that doctor's medical board. You can be anonymous
fsmb.org/contact-a-stat…
One complaint is unlikely to "bring down" a doctor, but we are creating a paper trail. Unlike lawsuits, the person filing the complaint can remain anonymous (in every state I know of - I haven't checked the process in all 50 states). The board will investigate, there are rules...
What is at risk when the medical board gets complaints is the doctor's ability to practice medicine in that state. (Trouble with the medical board also makes it hard to get a license in another state.) There's no $ payout to the complainant, you're just helping to protect others.

Parents of trans-identified kids: please take this as an opportunity to look inward. A therapist is not going to fix this. Even if you could arrange a heart-to-heart convo with a detransitioner, that's not going to fix this.

You have to think "how did we get here?"
I'm not saying that this is your fault!

Yes, many aspects of "trans" seem like a cult. Still, nobody has ever gotten a cult member to leave their cult by telling them they are in a cult. Humans don't work like that.

For teens and young adults, that goes double.
The oppositional reflex is present in all of us, and is very strong in adolescents. You can't use facts, logic and reason to get someone out of something they didn't logic themselves into.

You need to focus on the relationship.

@helenlewis came out with a good but frustrating article in The Atlantic all of 3 days ago, here's a link to an archived version:
archive.md/FthDI Image
Frustration #1, Helen inadvertently reminds me that the name of my rejected "Pediatrics Perspective" for the journal Pediatrics was called "Far From Settled Science: a Call for Caution in the Care of Gender Dysphoric Youth."

Yeah, it was sent to gender doctors for "peer review." Image
Can confirm.

At this point with the AAP, I think the coverup is worse than the crime. They stumbled into supporting affirmation on demand, and now they refuse to take it back, even in the face of growing evidence against it as a strategy. Image

#AAP2022 had nothing about gatekeeping access to powerful controlled substances with irreversible effects, it was all affirmation and celebration.

#Tweetiatricians please read:
Our last speaker @moladinsky runs the gender clinic at the University of Alabama. She just described a suicide as “boldly stepping in front of a truck.” She repeated the word boldly.

I, I can’t even. . .

Glorifying suicide is unprofessional and dangerous.
As pediatricians, we’ve forgotten what we’ve been taught about childhood development. We’ve forgotten what we’ve been taught about suicide prevention.

We’re ignoring what our colleagues in Sweden & Finland & the United Kingdom have realized.

We’re concretizing gender ideation.

🧵: Back in February I participated in a webinar about free speech, hosted by the Harvard Business School Club of New York. It was called “Misinformation and Hate Speech: Who Gets To Decide?”
hbscny.org/events/registe…
There were multiple speakers, including Nadine Strossen, the former President of the ACLU (I would add - back when it was pro free speech, from 1991-2008) and Lisa Littman MD (@LisaLittman1).
(Can I note, there are still people out there who think Dr. Littman’s article on ROGD was “retracted” or “debunked?” It was not, you can still read it here:
