🚨🚨BREAKING: New documents released in the legal defense of North Carolina's age limits on pediatric sex-trait modification are shocking.

They reveal that WPATH hired experts at Johns Hopkins to do a series of systematic reviews on the evidence supporting “gender affirming” care.

The researchers “found little to no evidence about
children and adolescents.” 🧵
Although this email chain was initially marked “Attorneys’ EyescOnly,” the DOJ publicly released the document in a court filing this morning.

donoharmmedicine.org/wp-content/upl…
Unhappy with the results of the systematic review it had
commissioned, WPATH forged ahead with their "Standards of Care Version 8" anyway.

These "standards" are used to bully parents, doctors,
lawmakers and judges to accept irreversible treatments and surgery for minors.
What’s worse, the documents show that WPATH restricted the Hopkins researchers’ ability to publish their findings.
@one1iron, chairman of the board at Do No Harm, says
"This is an outrageous rejection of good science and good medicine.

The case for so-called gender affirming care grows weaker by the day."

NEW: Today, @HHSGov released a comprehensive review of the evidence and best practices for treating children with gender dysphoria.

The review identifies "serious concerns" about sex change interventions on children.

“American children, especially those suffering from gender confusion, deserve better than to be used as a political pawn by gender activists. The Health and Human Services review of the scientific evidence and best practices in the treatment for pediatric gender dysphoria rightfully exposes a number of serious risks in the medical transition of young people. The report cites a ‘lack of robust evidence’ for these medical procedures and most alarmingly finds that ‘WPATH suppressed systematic reviews its leaders believed would undermine its favored treatment approach.’ Do No Harm, its fellows, researchers, and members have been warning about the experimental and irreversible sex change interventions on children, and we are grateful and encouraged HHS is bringing needed scrutiny to the gender industry. It is clearer now more than ever that we must end this misguided practice and replace it with evidence-based treatment for gender confused kids.”

-@one1iron

The HHS review examined multiple systematic reviews to assess the evidence behind so-called "gender-affirming care," and found the evidence to be "very low" quality.

This echoes the findings of the United Kingdom's Cass Review.

"The umbrella review found that the overall quality of evidence concerning the effects of any intervention on psychological outcomes, quality of life, regret, or long-term health, is very low. This indicates that the beneficial effects reported in the literature are likely to differ substantially from the true effects of the
interventions."Image
@HHSGov "The risks of pediatric medical transition include infertility/sterility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density accrual, adverse cognitive impacts, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret." Image

🧵🧵 Here's a list of several of the positions within the federal government that play a pivotal role in advancing #DEI:
1. Director, Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the National Institutes of Health

-- The NIH has been one of the federal government’s chief drivers of DEI in the medical field, through such efforts as the aforementioned discriminatory grants as well as equity initiatives.
2. Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity, NIH

-- The Manhattan Institute’s @realchrisrufo recently reported on how Marie Bernard, the agency’s chief officer for scientific workforce diversity, has helmed multiple DEI initiatives and efforts during the Biden-Harris administration. She directly oversees ten employees.

1/ With our first-of-its kind analysis, the Stop the Harm database, we set out to expose the child trans industry in America.

The database analyzed claims data from hospitals across the country performing sex change interventions on minors. Here is what we found (🧵🧵):
stoptheharmdatabase.com
2/ It turns out that the child trans industry is a lucrative one:

Between 2019 and 2023, hospitals submitted more than $100 million in claims for these experimental treatments on children.
3/ During this time, 13,994 children were given irreversible and damaging gender treatments at U.S. based medical facilities, including children’s hospitals, non-children’s hospitals, and affiliated institutions. By all accounts, this is a conservative estimate.

NEW: More #WPATH court documents have been unsealed, and the evidence is incontrovertible: @SecretaryLevine applied political pressure throughout the drafting of the WPATH guidelines in order to remove age restrictions for gender surgeries on minors. #FireLevine Image
In August 2021, email traffic between #WPATH leadership and former #USPATH leadership indicated that they had “a very productive call with Rachel Levine” and that the US Health Department “is very keen to bring the trans health agenda forward.”
According to the published SOC-8 Guidelines, the “final draft” of the guidelines was approved by the Chair and Co-Chairs on June 10, 2022. But soon thereafter, #WPATH sent a draft to Levine and Levine’s staff. The feedback from Levine was that the age limits should be removed for political reasons.Image

🧵 There are no words to describe the content revealed in the #WPATHFiles. All of the trauma these families have experienced could (and should) have been avoided.
Credit to @shellenberger for posting an extensive summary of his #WPATHFiles findings, including kids developing cancer, kids experiencing sterilization, kids adopting disordered eating, and more.

All at the hands of so-called "gender-affirming care."
@shellenberger's thread highlights the lack of informed consent among minors.

These kids had no idea what negative side effects they might have to live with for the rest of their lives.

⚠️ Medical schools are becoming breeding grounds for HATE that undermine healthcare for patients.

A 🧵 about antisemitic activity at the University of Minnesota.
An offshoot of BLM, @WC4BLUMN pushes radical gender ideology and "abolition medicine & radical capitalism," among other extreme ideas.

But this week they took it further.

@WC4BLUMN used official platforms to spew hate toward Israel. They stand "in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian resistance to free themselves from their oppressors by any means necessary."

By. Any. Means. Necessary.
