One of the usual suspects is lying again about @TheAtlantic article which dared to profile some desister teens & their parents.“The social isolation of a child was described as a success in the story.” @Jennifer_star has pushed back on this lie previously

Screenshot of the disingenuous tweet for the blocked.
Burns spread this same lies, about the same family, 3 years ago. No shame.

With the current Lia Thomas controversy raging, time to re-up this piece about East German cheating in the 1976 Olympic women’s swimming competition.

plus ca change…
4thwavenow.com/2018/04/15/sur…
It’s encouraging that the Editor in Chief of @SwimmingWorld mag recognizes that what Thomas is doing is tantamount to doping. In his piece, he invokes Shirley Babashoff—a hero who took a lot of heat for speaking up about the East German scandal.
This tweet by Shirley is 5 years old, but very relevant today. Thank you, @SBabashoff

Double standard alert.

Would someone please provide evidence that *any* pro-youth-transition researcher has *ever* recruited study subjects from anywhere other than pro-youth-transition communities (online or otherwise)?

We’ll wait.
Essentially, those who criticize Littman’s new study on detransitioners now demand a “control group“ of detransitioners who support the main TRA narrative: that ppl detrans only due to societal or familial pressure. Otherwise, these detrans are just “ideologically biased.”
This is laughable. Every study conducted by “affirmative“ researchers like Kristina Olson or Johanna Olson-Kennedy recruit *only* a cohort of youth (and/or their parents) who have already decided on social or medical transition. No control group—ever.

THREAD: In light of this blockbuster interview, our source in the affirmative parents' FB group today sent us a thread from 2020, started by a parent worried about her 10-year-old "AMAB's" future sex life. 1/n
bariweiss.substack.com/p/top-trans-do…
"I've heard anecdotally amab kids that take blockers at Tanner 2 & then hormones may be unable to achieve orgasm, and have yet to see any evidence to the contrary. Already, at age 10, they [won't have] genetic children. It breaks my heart they may have to lose anything else." 2/n
Others (including an "AMAB" parent) note there is no research on this--only anecdotes. "Your mileage may vary...some have plenty of function while others don't."

Dr. Marci Bowers, Jazz's surgeon, is mentioned. 3/n

“It is my considered opinion that due to some of the…sloppy, sloppy healthcare work, we’re going to have more young adults who will regret having gone through this process.”
bariweiss.substack.com/p/top-trans-do…
In the surgeon’s case (who was one of the team who operated on Jazz), one has to wonder if ass-covering could be a motive for consenting to the interview. Better late than never?

Thread. @AmerAcadPeds declared last week there were “no studies” to prove a young child surrounded by masked adults all day would be harmed psychologically or in language development. Now AAP are memory holing their OWN LITERATURE on the importance of “face time” for babies.
The @nytimes put out a propaganda OpEd cheerily claiming kids will do BETTER in school if they are masked.
Here’s @AmerAcadPed denying what any competent pediatric speech-language pathologist knows (see the many comments/quote tweets, which include studies of preverbal language development). As they are on pediatric transition, the AAP is stunningly wrong here.

Thread: The website @ScienceBasedMed came out with yet another hit piece on @AbigailShrier 's book today. As with the prior articles, this one is quite sloppy with the facts. @stevennovella please correct the following error (explained further in this thread):
Author (A J Eckert "(they/them) Connecticut’s first out nonbinary doctor") links to our 2015 piece which examined suicidality data from the 2008 U.S. Transgender Discrimination Survey, the source of the claim that 41% of trans ADULTS attempt suicide.
4thwavenow.com/2015/08/03/the…
Our article focused on the 2014 Williams Institute/American Foundation for Suicide Prevention analysis of the data, which, among other things pointed out that the 41% claim should not be interpreted to mean actual suicide attempts. In their words:
