‘Calls to “protect the children” from drag performers & trans people assume children are, in fact, in need of safeguarding. Such messaging is rooted in a tendency for Western societies to reduce childhood to an idyllic innocence… #ThoughtLeadership theconversation.com/wont-somebody-…
… from @UniMelb whose motto used to be Dream Large.
Looks like I should’ve used an irony font for that #ThoughtLeadership tag.
… close-quote marks would’ve helped too. Yes, it’s a quote from the linked article.

Asked about the fairness of trans women, biological males, in women's sport, Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese says "My view is the sporting organisations should deal with that issue... and they have." Really? #AusPol #Sport
Let's go back a bit --- "Australia’s peak sport agency has been rebuked for being evasive, dismissive and insulting to women after it failed to answer basic questions about the effect of transgender players on female sport." The Australian newspaper, 22 June 2020 Image
"Sport Australia’s acting chief executive Rob Dalton said in a parliamentary hearing he didn’t have an opinion when asked if allowing biological males in female sport would put off girls."

NEW Swedish systematic review of evidence for youth gender medicine.

“Against the background of almost non-existent longterm data, we conclude that [puberty blocker] treatment in children with gender dysphoria should be considered experimental treatment rather than standard… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Update: the journal article & expert commentary are new; they are based on the systematic review leading up to Sweden's new cautious approach announced in 2022. So, the review itself is not new. Summary here ⤵️

"I am surprised by the shortage of studies in this field [of youth gender medicine]. We found no randomized trials, and only 24 relevant observational studies." Lead author of the @ActaPaediatrica paper Professor Jonas F Ludvigsson.

Kudos to ABC @RadioNational & @GeraldineDoogue for Saturday's interview with Hannah Barnes, the BBC journalist whose book Time to Think details the failures of the world's largest youth gender clinic, the London-based Tavistock service.
abc.net.au/radionational/… #AusPol 🧵
Barnes points out that the "albeit limited" evidence base for medicalised gender change with minors is specific to biological boys with gender dysphoria that has persisted since early childhood & who are otherwise psychologically stable.
open.substack.com/pub/genderclin…
"What gender clinics across the world have seen is a shift from those boys [to] a preponderance of girls whose gender distress has only begun after onset of puberty. Often these teenage girls have many other difficulties [eg depression, anxiety, eating disorders & trauma]."

“An Australian court hearing a landmark gender dysphoria case was incorrectly told that an international expert had his clinic shut down for unlawful “conversion therapy”, a practice punishable by imprisonment in a growing number of jurisdictions.” genderclinicnews.substack.com/p/wrong-story?…
‘The inaccurate claim against the Toronto-based psychologist and researcher, Dr Kenneth Zucker, known for his nuanced approach to treatment, was made during the Family Court’s 2017 re Kelvin case, which was celebrated as a victory for the dogmatic “gender-affirming”model.’
“The context was an attempt by the Canberra-based transgender group, A Gender Agender, to discredit potential evidence undermining the confident case in favour of medicalised gender change being put to the court.”

‘A school counsellor [in New Zealand] has been labelled transphobic for her “harmful” views on the Ministry of Education curriculum, which she claimed was “deliberately teaching lies to little ones” about gender.’ /1 stuff.co.nz/bay-of-plenty/…
[The school counsellor Marli] De Klerk was accused of having “transphobic views” after a Facebook post in which she said: “A significant amount of New Zealand parents are expressing concern and are opposed to the new curriculum from the Ministry of Education …
… (starting from primary) teaching children you may be born in the same body and you can simply change your biological sex. This is confusing for our generation and does not help to foster their resilience or mental health.
