zoom.us/webinar/regist…
1/11
Dr Littman published her study of 256 parent reports of children who suddenly & without warning experience severe gender identity issues. Despite relentless efforts from trans activists who denied the existence of ROGD & cried ‘transphobia’ this study has prevailed
2/11 Image
This is child psychiatrist Jack Turban trying to dismiss our conference and ROGD by implying that it is unusual for parent reports to be utilised in a study on children's mental health. Jack is wrong; this is a well-established method within research
3/11
When @AbigailShrier released her book 'Irreversible Damage' the usual targetted harrassment ensued. Shrier, just like Littman, stood firm. Parents felt profoundly relieved that their children's distress was finally being discussed in public @joerogan open.spotify.com/episode/4SIh4P…
4/11
Our conference will begin with @stellaomalley3 discussing how clinicians work with ROGD clients. These children need wide-ranging, thoughtful, exploratory and compassionate therapy such as that discussed by @widerlenspod in episodes 24-28 gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/24-beh…
5/11
After Stella, a parent campaigner from Australia will tell her family's story – From Theory to Reality: When ROGD Hits Your Family. Genspect parents worldwide are reporting similar stories about socially awkward, cerebral kids transfixed by the lure of becoming a new person
6/11 Image
Then we will have Dr David Bell discussing how the role of the clinician is to First, do no harm. Dr Bell is a former Consultant Psychiatrist, former President of the BPS and Ex-Governor at the Tavistock and was compelling on @StephenNolan's podcast: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
7/11
Britain have led the way in the fightback against gender identity ideology - and the centralised stats from the NHS provide startling statistics about how a condition that previously impacted mostly middle-aged men is suddenly impacting teenagers
8/11 Image
Dr Bell blew the whistle on the Tavistock in 2018 when 35 clinicians left the service in protest over GIDS at the Tavistock. He also appeared on Channel 4 last year to discuss the problems that are evident in the sudden rise of detransitioners
9/11
Finally we will have the lovely Lisa Littman; gentle, brave and sharp as a tack. Dr Littman will speak about 'Psychosocial Factors & Gender Dysphoria’ and provide some deeper insight into the ROGD phenomenon
10/11 Image
We need this conference as we need to better understand ROGD. We invite everyone who is interested in gender identity issues to attend. Whether you agree with us or disagree, we welcome your input as our primary purpose is to expand our knowledge

Drumroll… it’s time to reveal to the world
@genspect’s first ever daughter website, statsforgender.org! This site is intended for parents, journalists, politicians, and the growing group of people who are interested in gender.
1/10
The world of gender has been blighted for far too long with low quality research, online surveys and selection bias. statsforgender.org gives you the information you need to know, in one place, without too much academic jargon. 2/10 Image
statsforgender.org presents simple, easily understood information in a clear manner, eg: The term ‘Two-Spirit’ is not an ancient Native American term. It was invented in 1990. Evey point is backed up by research that has been selected for it's reliability

"A puberty-blocking implant for a 'dysphoric' 10- or 11-year-old, for example, costs between $5,000 and $95,000, depending on the brand, and requires yearly replacement until the child desists or begins cross-sex hormones."
nationalreview.com/2021/10/is-it-…
"Nearly all 'dysphoric' children on puberty blockers move on to cross-sex hormones, a lifelong dependence and a financial boon for Big Pharma. Many trans-identifying teens and adults become repeat surgical patients, too."
"Medical entrepreneurs hawk 'micro-doses' of hormones to the rapidly rising ranks of 'non-binary' young people seeking a customized look 'on the spectrum' between masculine and feminine."

Thread: BIG NEWS! @TheEconomist is reporting on the 3 prominent American WPATH member-clinicians who recently expressed their concerns about child transition. "The Anatomy of a Scandal: Opinion on the use of puberty blockers in America is turning" economist.com/united-states/…
"Though blockers are often described as operating like a pause button, most children prescribed them go on to cross-sex hormones. This combination can have irreversible consequences, including sterility and the inability to orgasm."
"Dr. Bowers told @AbigailShrier she was 'not a fan' of putting children on blockers early in puberty. She worried, she said, 'about their reproductive rights
later. I worry about their sexual health later and ability to and intimacy.'"

Thread: 1/Today WPATH & USPATH made the following astounding statement in a letter to its members:

"USPATH and WPATH support scientific discussions on the use of pubertal delay and hormone therapy for transgender and gender diverse youth.
2/We believe that such discussions should occur among experts & stakeholders in this area, based on scientific evidence, & in fora such as peer-reviewed journals or scientific conferences, & among colleagues & experts in the assessment & care of transgender & gender diverse youth
3/USPATH and WPATH oppose the use of the lay press, either impartial or of any political slant or viewpoint, as a forum for the scientific debate of these issues, or the politicization of these issues in any way."

New #detrans study! "The review established that four main themes emerged around the desire to transition; mental health, fear around puberty and the growing realization of sexuality and how one’s female body relates to the world, and peer groups."
"Consistent across all 5 interviews was a realization that being transgender was not the answer to poor mental health and self-image. Instead, by learning more holistic ways to deal with poor body image and mental health issues such as depression, it no longer worked to...
...identify as the opposite sex, but rather became possible to reconcile with their biological sex and to stop opposite sex hormones. Most reported feeling like they no longer needed external validation to have self-worth and people’s perception of them no longer mattered much,..

A thread for #RogdAwarenessDay:
1. Three years ago today, August 16, 2018, a scientific journal published Lisa Littman’s study of 256 parental reports of adolescents experiencing a phenomenon described by Littman as 'Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria’
journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
2.Littman coined the term ROGD to describe the phenomenon of adolescents who having previously had no feelings of gender dysphoria suddenly felt extremely dysphoric and wished to transition.
3.Littman noted that ROGD could perhaps be a maladaptive social coping mechanism for other challenges, and often came about after extensive time spent online. Social contagion also seemed to be a factor
