Don't miss this section of the Climate-gate like "WPATH Files" yesterday.

The editorialized files claim to have found a damning report in the WPATH files that a patient was "leaking prostate fluid."

What did the report actually reveal?

The patient was orgasming!
It's funny that it presents 37,000 words of editorialized interpretations before the readers get to see any of the actual leaks.

With misrepresentations like this, it's clear why.

The author of the "report" spent paragraphs trying to say trans women have trouble orgasming.

1. Major news. Anti-trans Dem Representative Shawn Thierry, voted for Texas' gender affirming care ban, has come in 2nd place in the Texas primaries against queer union organizer Lauren Ashley Simmons.

The election will now go to runoff.

2. Rep Shawn Thierry delivered a long speech against trans youth care on May 12, 2023, voted against every Democratic amendment to make the bill less harmful for trans youth, and voted to pass the ban.

Now, her prospects appear dim.

3. Thierry came under swift condemnation from groups like Mothers Against Greg Abbott, abortion rights activist Olivia Julianna, and local Democrats.

The Meyerland Area Democrats even voted to censure her for her vote.

1. A groundbreaking new study shows extremely low detransition or desistance rates among trans youth from 2014-2022. It uses an innovative methodology resulting in almost NO "loss to follow up."

Only 1% receiving GAC desisted or detransitioned.

2. The study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, is based on 552 young patients in the GDS system in Perth, Australia. It represents the largest sample with the lowest loss to follow up rate studying retransition.

You can read my article on the study here:

3. The Perth Gender Diversity Services Clinic was able to accomplish this due to unique circumstances. The clinic is the only one in the state of Western Australia, it took copious clinical notes, and featured extensive follow up methods.

1. On Monday, anti-trans groups released the "WPATH" files in an attempt to create a "major scandal."

I analyzed the highly editorialized document and found 216 instances of factual errors, misrepresentations, and distortions of "leaked" materials.

Subscribe to support my work. Image
2. The document has 37,569 words of editorial commentary before it presents a single leak. It tries to paint a picture that is not supported by the documents "leaked," that you would not read if presented with them first.

Read the fact check here:

3. The files were first shared by right-wing activist, Michael Shellenberger, then nearly every anti-trans org... Genspect, the ADF, and FAIR in medicine.

FIM even added a fake red bar "fact checked: true," I assume an homage to my anticipated article.

Democrats in Washington State just passed a PRIEA act which will likely result in forced outing of trans students in the state.

Initiative 2081 gathered enough signatures to go on the ballot.

Rather than fighting it at the ballot box, they decided to pass it instead.

Horrific Image
The bill gives parents the "right to inspect mental health records" and "mental health counseling." It would also allow parents to "opt out" of education on "topics associated with sexual activity," which will be used to bar LGBTQ+ topics in school. Image
Democrats are likely making the calculation that they want to fight this in courts - had they voted against it, it would go on the November ballot.

However, now it just straight up becomes law.

The state is, to my knowledge, the first blue state with a forced outing law.

1. In recent years, JK Rowling's defenders have argued she has "never said anything transphobic."

Today, she called transgender journalist India Willoughby "a man," and said that she was "cosplaying a male fantasy."

Lets dive into what happened.

2. After comparing transgender women using restrooms to allowing pedophile teachers, one person replied with a video of WIlloughby and asked if Rowling would force her into a male restroom.

Rowling responded by misgendering Willoughby

3. Rowling stated that Willoughby is "a man reveling in his misogynistic performance of what he thinks a 'woman means" and then added that India is "cosplaying a misogynistic male fantasy," a claim that stems from the notion that transgender people are "fetishists." Image

This is wrong - let's look at why:

For a long time we've known that gender affirming care (GAC) lowers suicidality.

Imagine you have a dataset of trans people getting GAC and those not, and you have more suicides in those not.

A statistical model will show GAC lowers suicide.
Image
Now, let's say you are a researcher opposed to trans care and you want to find something that erases that.

You find a variable... "Psych specialist visits"!

Turns out, suicidal people often have contact with the psych system...

You can erase the direct connection now! Image
Except...

Not getting gender affirming care might lead to more psychiatric issues, which then lead to suicide. It is erroneous to claim that gender affirming care "doesn't save lives."

Yet that is what some reporting on a recent Finnish study did!

It gets worse though...
