Let me go grab a triple espresso and we'll have a Sunday Snake Mass study sesh 📚📑

I'm going to begin chronologically and from there follow up into any identified themes or significant threads

Emails from Marchiano to Shupe on 20 Mar 2017 ("Re: Feedback: Transgender Teens: Sometimes Caution is the Right Approach"): "I'm very concerned about medical intervention with kids. I will keep your offer in mind!"

Full disclosure, they really pissed me off recently:

Hassan, a cult deprogrammer, "Re: Trans Project", 9 Apr 2017. "I have worked with people in cults (and religions) which were homophobic and tried to brainwash them to think they were straight (not) and some cults that tried to make straight people into hookers, pimps, gay people"

Marchiano to Shupe and to 4thWaveNow on 23 May 2017: "So now you know I am the blogger for YTCP. I am not "out" so I appreciate your keeping my secret." Youthtranscriticalprofessionals was one of three anti-trans blogs surveyed for the ROGD study, attributed to a "Lisa Bell".

24 May 2017, emails from legendary terf Cathy Brennan asking if Shupe wants to write for the anti-trans blog Gender Identity Watch

Marchiano to Shupe, 24 May 2017, "Re: 6th Grader On Hormones": "Holy shit. That is awful."

"Interview questions" from Lisa Bourne of LifeSiteNews on 26 May 2017. "Please explain your opposition to trans surgery, and is it simply with children that you are opposed? What has motivated you to compile the content on the website regarding bathroom issues?"

Marchiano on the suicide of a 16-year-old trans boy: "Was JOK [Johanna Olson-Kennedy] involved in this case? I feel like we are creating suicidally [sic] in these kids."

30 May 2017, Marchiano apparently speculating that another adolescent is trans because of "marketing"

2 June 2017, Marchiano refers Shupe to Lisa Selin Davis, who currently writes on "trans widows and autogynephilia" (lisaselindavis.substack.com). (The term "trans widows" refers to the spouse or ex-spouse of a live trans person; their spouses are not actually deceased, just trans)

Marchiano on 6 June 2017: "Anecdotally, so many trans kids come out of foster care system."

13 June 2017, Marchiano forwards James Caspian's fundraiser for legal action against his university

12 July 2017, Joy Pullmann of The Federalist works with Shupe on an article opposing gender-affirming surgery in the military

22 July 2017, Marchiano to Shupe. "Also, I have a request for you. I am looking for an up to date list of informed consent clinics." Additionally confirming that she posts directly to the youthtranscriticalprofessionals site.

For context, Marchiano provided feedback on Lisa Littman's ROGD study in 2018. However, youthtranscriticalprofessionals was one of the three anti-trans websites surveyed for that study. The ROGD study does not disclose Marchiano's dual role here. (rogd.fi/wp-content/upl…)

Note that we recently found out Marchiano did not want her real name connected to "rapid onset gender dysphoria", after I identified another one of her blogs on 2 July 2017. Later on 6 July, she may have sought to send nude images of me to Fox News judedoyle.medium.com/inside-the-ter…

That's unprofessional.

23 July 2017, Marchiano discusses republishing Shupe's article from youthtranscriticalprofessionals on The Federalist. She also indicates that posts from 4thWaveNow, another surveyed anti-trans site in the ROGD study, had been republished on The Federalist before.

The ROGD study dismissed concerns that "some may argue that the parents recruited from the websites used might be more oppositional to transgender-identified individuals in general". But two of those three sites were sources for The Federalist's content. genderanalysis.net/2018/08/meet-t…

Bookmarking my place here, I've gone through 53 of the 809 emails chronologically (non-exhaustive, selected excerpts of interest). Everyone else: what have you found?

Lisa Selin Davis discusses an article about the emails: "I don't want to call attention to this", "Really, you shouldn't read this", "That’s not an anti-trans conspiracy", "This piece not only needs to be fact-checked, it needs to be ethically checked" lisaselindavis.substack.com/p/on-the-one-h…

Cult expert Steven Hassan to Shupe and Marchiano on 23 July 2017: "when you said you thought you were an aspie, it was highly significant as this is a population I have done some work with and have found they are very vulnerable to cults and mind control predators"

Autism is now being cited as a reason to deny gender-affirming care to trans people. Hassan's email helps to show how this talking point was developed autisticadvocacy.org/2023/03/asan-c…

Hassan: "I assure you that my colleagues and I plan to pursue this. I talked with a prominent psychiatrist in Europe and he too shares grave concerns about this issue and how it is politicized."

Hassan inquires about Kate Bornstein

Marchiano on the trans military ban, 27 July 2017: "So I feel like this military ban is complex and my liberal friends are all freaking out and hand-wringing. What would your talking point be in a few sentences?"

Someone mentioned it would be easier to have these assembled into one file, this is a 16MB PDF of the emails, 2691 pages ln5.sync.com/dl/87e7f7b20#s…

1 Aug 2017 from Neil Munro of Breitbart to Shupe: "Why do gay groups support this transgender push which seems to be consuming young gays and lesbians? Where is the money coming from?"

2 Aug 2017, Brennan refers Shupe to Michelle Goldberg as a media connection

2-4 Aug 2017, continued discussion between Lisa Bourne of LifeSiteNews and Shupe developing criticism of Lambda Legal

4 Aug 2017, Lisa Bourne reaches across the aisle. "Yeah, neither Cathy, nor the concepts of TERF or doxxing were not in my consciousness, so learned some things today."

Marchiano, 9 Oct 2017: "Is it possible that those who are blocked and then transition will have good long-term outcomes? I think it might be possible, but then we'll never have a good control group to know whether they could have been fine without losing their fertility."

9 Oct 2017, Marchiano claims trans youth using puberty blockers are "not integrating in cis society" and are always outsiders

Marchiano on 3 Nov 2017 regarding Shupe's request for professionals to testify about rapid onset gender dysphoria: "I know people who would testify. I believe that Ken Zucker would. Mike Bailey perhaps also. And if they can't, they will know people who can."

Marchiano on 8 Nov 2017: "I know someone who specializes in informed consent who would be very happy to help, I think. He is a psychiatrist with a lot of legal experience as well."

8-16 Nov 2017, senior counsel Gary McCaleb of Alliance Defending Freedom discusses taking on Shupe's case against her providers.

16 Nov 2017, McCaleb wants to introduce Shupe to detransitioner Walt Heyer. "He helped us put together a small meeting of de-transitioned/de-transitioning folks a few weeks back."

McCaleb is likely referring to these ADF meetings in 2017 intended to cultivate anti-trans expert witnesses. Others in attendance included Mark Regnerus, Michelle Cretella, Hacsi Horvath, Paul Hruz, Patrick Lappert, Andre Van Mol genderanalysis.net/2022/09/cma-ag…

30 Dec 2017, Marchiano to Shupe: "We have had an interesting development. We have a very capable lawyer looking for a litigant. Are you still interested?"

31 Dec 2017, Marchiano to Shupe: "Can I connect you directly with 4thwavenow? She is the one with the contact. I’ll connect you via email if that is okay. This lawyer’s specialty is malpractice, specifically mental health “quackery.”"

Marchiano, 15 Jan 2018: "I think they are hoping for a pediatric transition case, but let me ask again."

20 Feb 2018, Walt Heyer invites Shupe to write a letter to the secretary of defense: "If you would like to write a one page (it has to be short to be read) letter to Secretary Mattis expressing the impact on you personally, she has contacts who can get it in front of him."

Marchiano to Shupe, 13 Mar 2018: "Can I introduce you to a bisexual friend who is starting a non profit for LGBT people who want to address concerns about transitioning kids?"

This is Justine Kreher at "thehomoarchy"

Marchiano, 7 Apr 2018, on taking down the Youthtranscriticalprofessionals blog: "I did that. Just rethinking the blog a bit. I may change some things. It's not gone. Stay tuned."

Marchiano to Shupe on 18 Jun 2018, referring to an Atlantic article about 'desisters': "Have you seen trans twitter? They are apoplectic." This likely refers to Singal's "When Children Say They're Trans" theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Marchiano on 23 Aug 2018, on the release of Lisa Littman's rapid onset gender dysphoria study: "Serano has already written a take down."

4 Sep 2018, Marchiano celebrates The Federalist's article on "rapid onset gender dysphoria"

12 Sep 2018, Joy Pullmann of The Federalist believes it is "bias" that a researcher is married to a trans man

15 Oct 2018, Marchiano proposes another hypothesis: "Since there are no national statistics that would allow us to test the hypothesis that transition may increase suicidality, we want to try to mine news reports to see what they show."

17 Oct 2018, Marchiano after being sent several stories of trans suicides: "This is good stuff."

26 Jan 2019, Transgender Trend refers Shupe to Andrew Gilligan at the the Sunday Times (UK)

Twitter user Nosci_fi 4 Feb 2019: "Not sure if you followed last weeks events but more publicity is being generated, especially with left wings lesbians having to go to right wing Heritage Foundation to have a platform. I think that will help get your latest in spotlight as well"

ADF's detransitioner Walt Heyer, 7 Feb 2019: "my 50 year old son really comes after me ( did not speak for a while) for my Daily Signal article on On Trans in the military and still to this day hangs on to thay anger towards my position on this. Kinda amazing"

Lisa Bourne of LifeSiteNews, 8 Feb 2019: "Some people say, and in our writing at LifeSite we use the term same-sex attracted. This clarifies that it's an attraction, and does not define a person." This is a common term within Christian homophobia

Michael Laidlaw DMs Shupe, 11 Feb 2019: "So glad you are speaking out to protect kids and adults from the trans cult."

Laidlaw is an anti-trans expert witness for Florida's Board of Medicine and AHCA (genderanalysis.net/2022/10/rapid-…, genderanalysis.net/entity/dekker-…)

ADF's Gary McCaleb, 13 Mar 2019: "When we chatted off and on a while back, I rather thought you were headed toward consolidating your reality as a male"

McCaleb: "Yes, there are times we long for a billionaire or two as well, yet we’re blessed to be well-funded and well-run"

Kara Dansky of Women's Liberation Front, 13 Mar 2019: "One is that someone very close to me (a woman) announced that she is trans. ... A few months after that, I learned (on Facebook, of all places), that she had gotten a double mastectomy. I was devastated."

Dansky: "The other thing that happened is that when she announced that she is trans, I reached out to the Parents of ROGD Kids group. I am not a parent, but I felt like I needed some support." Your friend is trans so... you do that??

4 Apr 2019, Sullivan provides media strategy. "I do have a few very good contacts who can help get your information out in a very high quality fashion, ... When you get the message out that way, it puts pressure on the liberal media to print your stuff too."

Twitter threads are hard to follow so here's this whole thread as a downloadable PDF transgender.agency/emailnotes2.pdf
