FINLAND 2015: 🧵"The # of referrals exceeded expectations in light of epidemiological knowledge. Natal girls were markedly overrepresented among applicants. Severe psychopathology preceding onset of gender dysphoria was common. Autism-very common." capmh.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… ⤵️
Conclusion: "The findings do not fit the commonly accepted image of a gender dysphoric minor. Treatment guidelines need to consider gender dysphoria in minors in the context of severe psychopathology and developmental difficulties."

And don't miss @widerlenspod's interview with one of it's authors- Riittakerttu Kaltiala, M.D., Ph.D., BSc, chief psychiatrist in the Department of Adolescent Psychiatry at Tampere University Hospital, Finland: gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/62-pio… #ROGD
Finland conducted a systematic evidence review, found the evidence for pediatric transition inconclusive, broke w/WPATH's SOC7 & stated psychotherapy-not puberty blockers & cross-sex hormones- should be the 1st line treatment for gender-dysphoric youth. segm.org/Finland_deviat…

Thread: WPATH's much anticipated SOC8 has been further delayed. Some suspect that public outrage against pediatric gender clinics such as @BostonChildrens and criticism of the @AmerAcadPeds's "gender affirmative model of care" could be factors.
The lead for the “Assessment, Support and Therapeutic Approaches of Children” chapter of the upcoming SOC8 is listed on WPATH's website as Amy Tishelman, PhD, a clinical psychologist. bit.ly/3RLhoXs
Dr. Tishelman is the Director of Clinical Research and a Senior Attending Psychologist for GeMS, the gender clinic at @BostonChildrens. More info here: childrenshospital.org/programs/gende…

Continuing the lack of clarity in schools saga:

About 80% of UK school use SIMS to manage pupil data. Previously there was a place to record gender (male or female) but no place to record sex. 'Gender' has now been relabelled as 'sex', 1/4
ess-sims.co.uk/sims7-summer-r…
However a new, optional field has been added to record pronouns with the following options:
he/him/his/his/himself
she/her/her/hers/herself
they/them/their/theirs/themselves
e/em/eir/eirs/emself
ey/em/eir/eirs/eirself
sie/sie/hir/hirs/hirself
tey/ter/tem/ters/terself
... 2/4
...ve/ver/vis/vers/verself/
zie/zim/zir/zis/zieself

SIMS say that they have switch from gender to sex
"Following requests from a significant number of schools and extensive consultation we have cosmetically relabelled the ‘gender’ field within the user interface to ‘sex'." 3/4

AUSTRALIA: 🧵@DrFionaBisshop, President of
@auspathorg, has penned a letter to the @sydneymorningherald insisting that the closure of the Tavistock gender clinic in the UK does not mean that change is needed in Australian gender clinics. She writes: smh.com.au/national/closu…
"The most compelling statement in Dr Cass’s interim review was...the Tavistock was failing in its prime objective-to see young people in a timely fashion & assess their needs regarding gender.The major issue was the unacceptable time young people languished on the waiting list."
Other intl trans activists/orgs/providers/clinicians & media outlets like the @nytimes have similarly glossed over the massive safeguarding concerns outlined by @thecassreview & claimed that the closure was due to 2 yr long wait times- ie: nytimes.com/2022/07/28/hea…

This case is controversial. But the fact that a teacher is in jail tonight because he refused to call a student 'they/them' is deeply disturbing.

Enoch Burke's behaviour and beliefs are being criticised and Genspect doesn't agree with many of his views. But this is irrelevant.
We need to protect freedom of conscience and the right to free speech.
Compelled speech is an insidious concept that needs to be stopped
Although Enoch Burke is in jail for contempt of court, this case is rooted in the fact that the teacher's beliefs prevented him from calling a student they/them. As he said "it's plural".

It's the fruit of the poisonous tree.

UK- 🧵A recent article in the prestigious BMJ reported the Tavistock is facing possible clinical negligence claims by former patients of its Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) for children & adolescents: bmj.com/content/378/bm…. (Login required to read, unfortunately.)
This excellent letter was submitted in response by @CanSG_org (our Director @stellaomalley3 was a signatory) - and it's open access, so please read & share this link widely: bmj.com/content/378/bm… Some highlights are quoted below.
"Globally, there are significant difficulties in discussing, let alone challenging, the practice of gender clinics, due to the belief systems of those who adhere to gender identity theory – a non-clinical ideological perspective for which there is little to no empirical support."

Thread: Clip from a Letter to the Editor of the @wsj re @LeorSapir & @JuliaMasonMD1's recent article on the @AmerAcadPeds 1/ "It is patently wrong to support preadolescent children’s efforts to alter their genders when they are developmentally incapable of making such decisions."
2/ "Instead, the AAP should be advocating the counseling of these children, as
well as studying the long-term consequences of mental-health issues that some of these
patients incur."
3/ "After over 30 years as a fellow of the AAP, I resigned my membership over its extreme positions. I’d wager many other pediatricians have as well." - M.D. in North Carolina
