THREAD: Yesterday, @wpath released the 8th version of its Standards of Care (SOC8), which outlined the following "suggested minimal ages" for hormonal / surgical "gender affirming" treatments for adolescents:
Cross-sex hormones: 14+; Double mastectomy: 15+; Breast implants, facial feminization surgery: 16+; Metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, vaginoplasty, hysterectomy, and fronto-orbital remodeling: 17+; Phalloplasty: 18+
All 5 "suggested minimum ages" carried the following caveat: "unless there are significant, compelling reasons to take an individualized approach when considering the factors unique to the adolescent treatment time frame" (effectively allowing for even *younger* patients!)

US: Sept 12 is the LAST DAY to submit your comments on the proposed update to TITLE IX which will force schools to validate "gender identity", socially transition kids upon their request, eliminate single sex spaces & safeguarding. Submit your comment now! federalregister.gov/documents/2022…
Over 200K comments have been received so far. You can read them here: regulations.gov/document/ED-20… Let your voice be heard- its now or never!
IE: "While parents across the country are demanding the rejection of woke policies, the Dept of Ed has chosen to hijack Title IX to force gender ideology on kids without their parents’ knowledge/approval. This is a lawless interpretation & a complete overreach by the Dept of Ed."

Jennifer O'Connell missed a lot of points in her article today however were pleased that Genspect, @WomensSpaceIre
and @jordanbpeterson get a mention.

Jennifer misses the point that "fruit of the poisonous tree" is a legal doctrine from the USA.. 1/4 irishtimes.com/opinion/2022/0…
Jennifer says "But this is precisely how democratic society works. We are free to believe whatever we like, but we are not free to behave as we like."

But what about #FreedomNotToBelieve ? That's also an essential aspect of a democratic society. 2/4
There are too many leaps of logic to go through them all, another example is,
"But no one is asking him to change his beliefs, only his behaviour."

For some people (evidently not Jennifer) integrity means that your behaviour matches your beliefs 3/4

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."

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
