NEW STUDY: When activist-researchers find that primarily white teenage girls with a gender dysphoria diagnosis are seeking medical interventions, they conclude that males, asian, black, and hispanic trans-identified youth need more “equitable” access to medical interventions. 🧵 Image
The study examined youth (ages 14-17) using PEDSnet data (11 U.S. children's hospitals) and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. They found 3,453 (0.9%) patients with a GD diagnosis and 2+ recent hospital visits, and 5,262 (1.9%) trans-identified youth in YRBS.publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…
Findings suggest primarily white teenage girls are receiving medical interventions. This leads the authors to conclude that males and asian, black, and hispanic trans-identified youth are "underrepresented" in hospital data, and advocate for "more equitable care provision." Image
A 2023 study by the same authors on cooccurring gender dysphoria and autism, using PEDSnet data, found teenage girls overrepresented and came to a similar conclusion, advocating to "reduce disparities in access to care" for males and "youth of color." publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…

In a recent episode of @DrPhil exploring the debate over youth transition, @LeorSapir explained one of the reasons why people believe the rate of transition regret is so low: detransitioners often don’t tell their doctors. “The system had completely forgotten about them.” 🧵
In 2021, physician and researcher @LisaLittman1 conducted a survey of individuals who had detransitioned, finding that 76% did not inform their clinicians about their detransition. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
The studies that gender activists most frequently cite finding low regret rates typically suffer from the following problems: considerable methodological flaws, very high rate of loss to follow up (30-60%), and they are studying an entirely different cohort (older adults under a different model of care) than people are most concerned about now: teens and young adults under the gender-affirming model.

🚨 New systematic review exposes deceptive practices among medical organizations that endorse youth transition. Rather than relying on robust evidence, medical authorities fabricated consensus by deferring to each others' guidelines.

Thread and Link Below⬇️ Image
The new review reveals that medical organizations have misled the public by basing their recommendations on insufficient evidence, inaccurately labeling their approach as "evidence-based," and engaging in a corrupt practice known as "circular referencing."buttonslives.news/p/new-systemat…
The review found that clinical guidelines globally used to treat gender-questioning children and adolescents were crafted in violation of international standards for guideline development and recommended medical interventions for minors despite insufficient evidence.

🚨 Groundbreaking new study from @MayoClinic, utilizing largest collection of testicular samples in youth, found mild to severe atrophy in the testes of boys who took puberty blockers, leading authors to doubt "reversibility" claims of these drugs.

Thread and Link Below⬇️Image
The new preprint study (not yet peer-reviewed), by researchers from the Mayo Clinic—a globally recognized leader in medical research—challenges the longstanding view of puberty blockers as a reversible "pause button" on puberty. buttonslives.news/p/new-mayo-cli…
The study presents evidence that puberty blockers induce significant cellular changes, impacting testicular development and sperm production in ways that are not reversible, with potentially permanent effects on testicular function and fertility.

🚨New long-term study from The Netherlands finds the desire to be the opposite sex in adolescence is common, temporary, and declines with age

Thread and Link Below⬇️Image
A new Dutch study using long-term data found the majority of adolescents expressing a desire to be the opposite sex no longer felt that way in adulthood, adding to a body of research showing that these feelings are often temporary and decline with age. buttonslives.news/p/new-long-ter…
The study followed 2772 adolescents in the Netherlands through adulthood, from ages 11-26, in a sample comprising both clinical and general populations. 53% were male. Data was collected and analyzed from participants at six different time points between 2001 and 2020.

🧵: The @ArizonaMirror claims a bill aimed at providing healthcare and insurance coverage for detransitioners is unnecessary—it is a tactic by Republicans to hassle people who currently identify as trans.

I explain below why these activists posing as journalists are wrong⬇️ Image
The articles’ premise is that detransitioners face no difficulties in accessing healthcare.

This is false. There are no billing codes for detransitioning, nor is there anything resembling a standard of care, and some insurance companies exclude gender-reversal procedures.
The author, Gloria Gomez (@glorihuh), does not speak to a single detransitioner, opting instead to quote gender activists who argue the bill is “unnecessary” and not a “real issue” because detransitioners’ “medical needs are already covered by insurance.” Image

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) released its Gender-Affirming Psychiatric Care (GAPC) textbook and it’s crazier than I thought. In a recent op-ed, @Miriam_Grossman and @LHSchwartzMD call it a “political manifesto posing as a scientific guide for mental health care.”🧵
The authors of the GAPC claim the sex binary is “mythical,” created by “European colonial influences," and that scientific neutrality is a “fallacy.” Image
It says trans-identified youth are oppressed from “living in a cis heteronormative society” created by “cisgender people in power.” Image
