THREAD: By a large margin, the French National Academy of Medicine has passed a resolution urging parents to be wary of social contagion, and recommending that gender care emphasize mental over physical interventions:

Original press release, in French:
academie-medecine.fr/la-medecine-fa…
A basic English translation, sans citations:
docs.google.com/document/d/1Ts…
Notably, the position statement emphasizes that there is no test capable of distinguishing which patients will have lasting dysphoria vs. which will simply grow out of it.
The position statement also exudes a subtle (and, in this reader's opinion, justified) tone of resentment toward the US and Scandinavia for fomenting the gender trend.

Insights from evolutionary psychology re how newborns protect themselves from maternal self-interest by gaming maternal instincts in their favor via oxytocin. Biology is SO much smarter than we think we are:

"To defend against maternal infanticide, a newborn's best strategy...
2/ "...may be to display cues that it is a vehicle worthy of investment....Newborns who nurse in the first hour of birth stimulate a surge in maternal oxytocin levels [causing the nursing mother to] become less motivated to self-groom for the purposes of attracting a mate...
3/ "...and more motivated to groom their infants....By contrast, new mothers who do not nurse are more likely to suffer from postpartum depression,...a condition associated with higher rates of maternal infanticide...

THREAD: This was my kid to a T(rex), so thought I'd pull her favorite books off our shelf and list them, for any other parents whose kids need engaging books about biology and evolution:
2/ A good way to engross a child is to let them follow the paths of the early explorers--Cuvier's catalogs of animal drawings, Darwin's journey on the Beagle. Even those who got it wrong (Waterhouse) or who are just making up pretend biologies for fun (Olander's monsters)...
3/ Here are links to some of the books my daughter came back to again and again:

Dover edition of Cuvier's animal drawings (there are other Cuvier publications, but this is the most kid friendly):

THREAD: Gender industry "ethicists" never tire of helping drug manufacturers offload shoddy products.

Enter "OPS," something so unethical that once ethicists taste it they lose their bearings completely.

Allow me to illustrate...

2/ OPS stands for ongoing puberty suppression.

As in forever. Let it sink in.

Recall that puberty-suppressing drugs were developed to help kids whose puberty comes on too soon. Their use is steeped in controversy, foremost because they damage bone development; but also...
3/...because their ensuing decrease in popularity due to these problems left the industry wondering where it could offload them next.

Which fueled the brilliant idea of suppressing puberty in perfectly healthy kids, in the name of "gender."

On the NIH's proposal to "study sex as a non-binary construct" at taxpayer expense (thread--link to submit commentary to NIH at end):

"Sex IS a binary construct for humans, and most of our species' close and distant relatives. If one produces the large gamete, one is female; ...
2/...if one produces the small gamete, one is male. There has never been a third human gamete; there is no spegg. No human has ever resulted from the union of any two gametes other than sperm and egg.

...
3/ That a putatively scientific organization should be "investigating sex as a non-binary construct" means that the organization is no longer scientific, putatively or actually.

If NIH is going to be a purveyor of the psueodscience and pseudoreligion of nonfalsifiable...

THREAD: On Dem gaslighting and #PortlandRiots. As international attention focuses on Portland, we've become an inconvenient truth--something the Dem Party has to retroactively pretend it didn't create. Speaking up about it now puts one in the crosshairs of gaslighting...
2/...techniques. Dem Party now realizes its months of giving terrorists a pass--and before that years of inciting them--has become a bad look for it. Dems rewrite history: "We never condoned violence!" When you read their posts back to them, you're told you're the one who's lying
3/..& that there's no violence to see. Often by people you know personally & have regularly seen condoning violence in private. Mostly they threaten you. But sometimes they're friendly and conciliatory. "I don't think you're being fair." Well, there's nothing more unfair than...
