“Do we have to stick to penis & vagina norms? Can we have genitalia that looks like flowers or abstract sculpture? Can we have multiple? Can they be interchangeable?” -WPATH certified clinician Laura Jacobs, LCSW- WPATH SOC revision committee.

@Jonnywsbell Maybe WPATH’s next “Standards of Care”will have a chapter on “abstract genitals”.
Seem far fetched? Remember, their current “Standards” introduced “eunuchs” who need their testicles removed.
It’s all “medically necessary” & “lifesaving” according to @wpath !
The #WPATHFiles Daily Disclosures: Surgeons discuss performing surgery on a 14-year-old kid. Their concerns are about being sued, dilation issues and what consent looks like. Marci Bowers, the President of WPATH, advises against it because the tissue is too immature.
They KNOW that consent is a murky area. In this clip, part of a different discussion, a WPATH member acknowledges kids' and parents' lack of understanding of the implications of these surgeries.
WPATH members should be discussing the ethics of operating on children who cannot give informed consent and whose parents do not understand the full implications of these procedures.

3/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Daniel Metzger, an endocrinologist, knows that talking to kids about fertility preservation is difficult because they don’t fully understand what they are giving up. Dr Metzger also knows that reproductive regret is common. 🤯 #WPATHFiles
🧵1/ Genspect's Director @stellaomalley3 & Dr Carrie Mendoza of @FAIRinMedicine were proud to work alongside Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger, Mia Hughes @_CryMiaRiver, & the Environmental Progress @envprogress team on the #WPATHFiles that have just been released.
2/ The World Professional Association of Transgender Health @wpath is considered the "global authority" on transgender health. In fact, @wpath is a reckless promoter of pseudoscientific hormonal & surgical experiments on children, adolescents & vulnerable adults. #WPATHFiles
3/ Let us be clear: What @wpath advocates for is MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. Its leading clinicians ignore medical ethics and do not obtain proper informed consent from their gender-distressed patients. #WPATHFiles
