🧵1/While @EuropeanPATH is busy removing the words "mens" & "womens" from all the toilets at the Killarney, Ireland venue for their 3 day conference next week, we're preparing for our own #GenspectBiggerPicture conference- just down the road! independent.ie/regionals/kerr…
2/Quotes from the Independent (paywall): "A rival group called Genspect will also stage what it calls a ‘counter-conference’ over 3 days from April 27-29." "Genspect will stage its 3-day conference in Killarney to coincide with the @EuropeanPATH event."
3/"Genspect say it is an international organisation providing support for individuals & families ‘impacted by gender distress’."
"It's aim is to challenge what it claims is ‘the narrow, medicalised model’ of gender care. The theme of the conference is ‘The Bigger Picture’"
4/"A statement from Genspect said its Killarney conference is the first in a series of ‘counter-conferences’ to @EuropeanPATH & @wpath events."
5/"@stellaomalley3, a psychotherapist & director of Genspect, claims puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery is an inappropriate form of treatment, especially for vulnerable children."
6/There's no reason @wpath should be the only game in town. We're pushing for an alternative to "gender-affirming care"---one which prioritizes long term health & is grounded in reality, not gender ideology #TimesUpWPATH #GenspectBiggerPicture
7/ More info about our conference next week: genspect.org/genspect-press…. Do join us!

🧵Today a stunning message was sent to ⁦@wpath⁩ members by the org’s president, the plastic surgeon Dr. Marci Bowers- who operated on Jazz Jennings ⤵️ listloop.com/wpath/mail.cgi…
The message outlined the org’s strategy for “damage control” of its Standards of Care v.8 & “gender-affirming care” in general, in light of increased criticism by the public as well as republican bills restricting medical transition for minors across the US.
The letter insists SOC8 was “based on the best available scientific evidence & weighing all risks & benefits to arrive at the recommendations”. But the “evidence” is all low-quality studies. economist.com/briefing/2023/…

🧵1/Here's the program for @EuropeanPATH's conference next week in Killarney, Ireland👇. It's sponsored by Facial Team, a European plastic surgery clinic specializing in "facial feminization." epath.eu/2023-conferenc….
2/@EuropeanPATH President Joz Motmans & hosts TENI-Irish transactivists-will welcome. Then, a plenary session by Prof. Dr. Jon Arcelus (UK/ES): on COMPARING [WPATH's new Standards of Care v 8] SOC-8 TO OTHER CLINICAL GUIDELINES: An in-depth exploration of the SOC-8 methodology.
3/Lest anyone need reminding, @wpath's SOC-8 has no minimum age guidelines for "gender affirming" hormonal & surgical interventions (aside from Phalloplasty: 18.) Oh, & a new chapter on EUNUCHS. Will medical providers consider this extreme fetish a legitimate "gender identity"?

🧵1/ “Suicide is an ever-present topic at the Transgender Center…Reed said clinicians at the center commonly warned parents—in front of their child—that refusing to give consent for gender transition could lead to that child’s suicide.” thefp.com/p/i-felt-bulli…
2/ “Normalizing, even glorifying suicide by saying it is a common outcome for young people who are not allowed to medically transition, violates all established rules for how to talk safely about a subject known to have a substantial element of social contagion.”
3/ “Meanwhile, evidence shows that the threat of suicide in these circumstances is exaggerated. [A] medical journal article by Oxford University sociologist Michael Biggs illustrates how hyperbolic this threat is.”

"There are only 7 studies that say the medicalisation of children is beneficial...

and every single one of them has been retracted"

Powerful interview of @NotScottNewgent on @GBNEWS. Thank you so much for speaking out, your voice is irreplaceable

Scotts discusses complications after surgery, including a "pulmonary embolism that induced a stress heart attack"

@NotScottNewgent suffered sepsis and a 17-month recurring infection

"I had to go on state funded insurance because I lost everything."
"I couldn't find anyone in the state who knew what to do with me"

"They found I had 6 inches of hair inside my urethra, which caused the 17 month infection.. whilst I was still working so I could get insurance"

"It's an absolute nightmare"

🧵1/Clymer, 36, came out as trans about 5 yrs ago- after 7 yrs in the army, & then a brief stunt as a male "feminist blogger"- one who drew attention in rad fems circles for bullying women. huffpost.com/archive/ca/ent…
2/In 2018, Clymer wrote a twitter thread about how wearing stereotypically "feminine" (&, dare we say, fetishistic) items such as a "gold lamé pocketbook", red lipstick, heels, etc "immediately evaporates" any confusion people have about his sex.
3/If you are a man who enjoys wearing gold lamé, rock on! But that doesn't make you a woman. ImageImage

🧵1/ US Asst Secy of Health Dr Rachel Levine, who is trans, says "gender affirming care" for minors shouldn't be banned because it's "supported" by leading US health organizations. But the "support" is weak...⤵️
2/ As far as we know, ONLY 1 of the US orgs Levine cited-@TheEndoSociety-bothered to conduct a systematic review of the evidence for "gender affirmative care". It informed their (2017) "clinical practice guidelines for gender dysphoria". endocrine.org/clinical-pract…
3/ The Endo Society's 6 clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of *adolescents* with gender dysphoria (accessible via link above) are graded ⊕⊕OO (5) or ⊕OOO (1). These symbols indicate a "LOW" or "VERY LOW" quality certainty of evidence!
