1./ How did this scandal happen?
How did an 8 year old girl in this clip from @libsoftiktok end up injected with a drug invented to treat prostate cancer in old men? Let me tell you how fake science turned her hospital in Boston into a Ground Zero of this medical disaster.

2. The girl was treated at the Gender Management Service (GeMS) Clinic at Boston Children's Hospital. The clinic was founded in 2007 by Norman Spack, an endocrinologist, or hormone specialist. He was on a hormone mission ever since witnessing a trial in Holland a few years before

3./ In the mid 90s doctors there began giving a small group of teens GnRH agonists or puberty blockers to "pause" puberty. Spack now advocated for this to be embraced globally. He ignored the flaws of the trial, dissected here brilliantly by Michael Biggs.

4./ There had been no animal trials, nor human trials with a control group. Success was wildly exaggerated. The first patient (B) was revealed later to be deeply depressed and suicidal. Spack seemed more struck with how the kids looked; which he describes here as ...beautiful!🤔

5./ Despite a lack of evidence to back puberty blockers Spack stated openly he was "salivating" to start using them on kids. He got the chance when he was appointed as the first head of the GeMS clinic in Boston. He could now salivate as much as he liked.

6./ Spack didn't stop there. In 2013 he wrote the Endocrine Society's Transgender Guidelines so that they now advocated puberty blockers. It was seen as "an attitudinal shift to be able to say the Endocrine Society supports this." It was milked mercilessly

7./ The guidelines would continually be quoted as medical gospel and feature in the Keira Bell case. Yet how carefully had they been drawn up? In a @TEDTalks lecture Spack himself admitted he breached them when treating the son of Susie Green, CEO of UK trans charity Mermaids.

8./ Spack admits he "did something a little bit innovative". Innovative? He gave cross-sex hormones to her 13 year old. He then helped arranged the boy's castration in Thailand at 16; an age illegal in the UK & US. If you're thinking this is all rather Wild West you'd be right.

9./ Spack justified this medical abuse with reference to nothing more scientific than a posed magazine cover of twin boys. He said the difference between the boy who is going through puberty and the twin he treated with blockers "says it all". Here's why it doesn't.

10./ The Cass Review confirms the vast majority of gender dysphoric kids find their dysphoria dissipates or disappears once they go through puberty. The boy on the left has had this stolen from him. Isn't there something creepy about how Spack describes his brother's puberty?

11./ My theory is that some of these lunatic doctors have convinced themselves they're saving effeminate boys from the nightmare of becoming adult men. The truth is manhood includes effeminate, sensitive men too. Boys like this also have an inalienable right to fully become men.

12./ Spack's ludicrous defence of puberty blockers was that they were the only alternative to giving cross-sex hormones. "We can't just give those to 10-12 year olds" Why not? "Because they can't possibly understand the consequences of infertility". Have you spotted the problem?

13./ 99% of kids on puberty blockers move onto cross-sex hormones thus rendering them sterile. Spack and his fellow ghouls who created this pharmaceutical Ghost Train to sterility justified it because they claimed any kid who said they were trans knew themselves absolutely.🤦‍♂️

14./ In his @TEDTalks Spack justifies all this by wilfully exaggerating the risks from suicide. Yet even at the time the Tavistock's Polly Carmichael was on the record saying "trans kids" are at no greater risk of suicide than kids with mental health issues such as bulimia."

15./ If there's ever a Nurnberg Trial for Gender Ghouls Spack should be arraigned. He travelled the world championing child sterilisation. In London in 2016, he led a Mermaids conference in singing 'The Times are a Changing'. They're changing back, mate.

16./ Spack inspired the child-abusing charity Mermaids which then advised the addled parents of poor Jaron (Jazz) Jennings. Jazz was castrated and put through surgical hell like this in a fruitless attempt to mimic being female. This is what real conversion practices look like.

17./ Every clinician at the Boston Hospital sterilising an 8 year old girl deserves to be in jail. They may have been assisted by a media and politicians who have lost their marbles. But like Spack no one forced them to prescribe the drugs. No one forced them to ruin young lives.
