1/ 🧵🎉🍾🥳 A 2024 year end review of the great gender debate. This was the year the world reached peak trans. The public at large has had enough of the absurdity and excess of gender ideology and politicians are listening (or losing if they don't).
2/ The years started with an attempt by the World Health Organization to create a new guideline of transgender health with a hopelessly biased development group.
segm.org/world-health-o…
3/ Despite a comment period that ran over the Christmas break the was worldwide push back, including a strongly worded letter from the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls. WHO responded by extending the comment period.

4/ February began with Alberta premier Danielle Smith announcing new policies on gender identity in schools which reset the gender debate across Canada.

5/ While the English language CBC remained captured, ICI-Radio Canada showed how real journalism is done with a blistering documentary on shabby practices in gender youth gender clinics.

6/ March began with the release of the WPATH files which revealed the questionable ethics of many WPATH affiliated clinicians.

7/ Voters in Ireland resoundingly rejected proposed amendments which would have removed the word mother from the constitution independent.ie/irish-news/a-w…

itv.com/news/2024-03-1…
9/ The slow retreat from #GenderWoo in the mainstream media continued as the New York Times published an essay criticizing the ideological phrase "sex assigned at birth."
10/ In April, the final report of the Cass Review found that the evidence supporting the effectiveness of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones was weak and recommended a holistic model of care that prioritizes psychological support.
cass.independent-review.uk/home/publicati…Image
11/ The Cass review received supportive opinion pieces in major liberal media outlets like the Guardian, the Washington Post and the New York Times.
nytimes.com/2024/04/18/opi…
12/ It was still business at usual at the CBC where biased and misleading coverage of the Cass Report attracted worldwide scorn.
13/ Good news from England was balanced by bad new form the U.S. where amendments to Title IX regulations replaced sex with gender identity
14/ Meanwhile, the march back to sanity in England picked up speed as the NHS declared sex a biological fact. No more trans identified males in female wards or dehumanizing language like "chest feeders.:
telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/3…
15/ In a major victory for women's sports the international Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Lia Thomas was not entitled to swim in the women's category in international competition.
16/ Meanwhile the trans-activist cabal continues to undermine the reputations of leading scientific publications like Nature.
17/ The credibility of WPATH continued to crumble as internal e-mails disclosed in a court case revealed the political pressure and suppression of evidence in the creation of the latest edition of its standards of care.
nysun.com/article/damnin…
18/ There has been progress on the protection of women's sports as the international governing bodies for athletics, aquatics and cycling adopted rules which exclude anyone who has completed male puberty from competing in the female category.
19/ However, Olympic boxing is still governed by the IOC rules based on "passport sex" and the August Olympics were marred by the spectacle of two male boxers with DSD conditions winning gold medals in the women's category.
realityslaststand.com/p/fact-vs-fict…
20/ August continued to be a bad month for women's' rights as and Australian judge ruled in Tickle v Giggle that "sex is changeable" and effectively erased women's rights to sex segregated spaces.
21/ In September the UK Department for Education issued a revised statutory guidance on keeping children safe in schools which rejected the concept of the "trans child." sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
22/ In October the damage to WPATH continued to accumulate as the AG of Alabama submitted a scathing brief to the US Supreme Court which laid out the case that the WPATH standards of care was the result of suppression of research and political pressure.
alabamaag.gov/wp-content/upl…
23/ Canada was still business as usual. The leadership of the Canadian Paediatric Society rejected the conclusions of the Cass Review
nationalpost.com/opinion/canadi…
24/ The CPS response relied heavily on a dubious critique of the Cass Review which was shredded in an article by leading British pediatricians. adc.bmj.com/content/early/…
25/ The New York Times reported that Dr. Johanna-Olson Kennedy has held off publishing the results of a federally funded study on puberty blockers for fear that the results would be "weaponized" by critics of gender affirming care.

27/ On December 4 the US Supreme Court heard arguments on a challenge to a ban on medical gender transition of minors. The decision is not expected until next year but court watchers predict that the ban will be upheld. nysun.com/article/suprem…
28/ More trouble for Dr. Johanna Olson Kennedy as she was sued for medical negligence by a former patient who was given puberty blockers at 12, testosterone at 13 and a double mastectomy at 14, but no mental health assessment.
benryan.substack.com/p/detransition…
29/ The UK government extended the ban on private prescriptions of puberty blockers indefinitely, although NHS England is planning to start a research trial in 2025.
30/ Italy has joined the list of countries that are taking a more restrictive approach to puberty blockers and hormones for young people.segm.org/Italy-Puberty-…
31/ An editorial in the Washington Post signaled a major change in the liberal media. It acknowledged the poor quality of research on paediatric gender medicine and called for studies overseen by scientists who are not gender doctors.
archive.is/26cKy#selectio…
32/ An early Christmas present for parents. The iron grip of gender ideology on the entertainment business loosened a bit as Disney announced that it would be dropping a transgender story line from a forthcoming streaming series. hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/dis…
33/ Still more good news as the Biden administration cancels regulations that would have required schools to separate sports teams by gender identity rather than sex.
34/ It looks like 2025 will be a tumultuous year. The gender wars are not over. Transgender activists are well funded and well entrenched in schools, universities, professions and the media but they will never again control the public agenda as they have for the last decade.

🧵The Cass Review and reviews in Sweden and Finland have recommended that puberty blockers only be used in a research setting. However, Cass was clear that any research studies would need ethical approval and the case for further research on children is not there. 1/
Before any more children are put at risk, the existing data on puberty blockers needs to be studied properly. A first step should be publishing the data from the Joanna Olson-Kennedy study which have been withheld for political reasons. 2/cnn.com/2024/10/25/hea…
The first children treated with puberty blockers for gender dysphoria are now young adults and we should have data on their health.The data linkage study the Cass Review proposed should be completed before any new clinical trials are authorized. 3/transgendertrend.com/adult-gender-c…

1/ The US Supreme Court decision on gender affirming care for minors will probably have less impact on gender medicine in general than anticipated. The bans only affect about half the states and only apply up to are 18. There are two other factors that will be more important.
2/ The first is litigation, which is starting against some of the biggest names in medicine. There are also investigations by state governments and congressional investigations will follow.
3/ Don't expect many doctors to be bankrupted; they have insurance to cover damages and legal costs. But insurance premiums will go up and more time in court and before congressional committees means less time seeing patients.

1/ Here's what Trump has said about stopping medical transition of minors. Some of it makes sense but other parts are questionable and probably unconstitutional.
2/ "I will sign and executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age." Easy to do, and will make it easier to work for reform at the state and local level. Note that it includes adults.
3/ "I will then ask Congress to permanently stop federal tax dollars being used to promote or pay for these procedures ...."
Easily done and would cut off support for gender medicine under Medicare, Medicaid, prisons and military health plans.

1/ Some thoughts from Canada on how the US election will impact the gender debate. Rachel Levine will be fired and most of Biden's executive orders on the application of Title IX to sports and trans health care will be repealed.
2/ The Supreme Court will hear the Skremetti case on state bans on youth gender medicine before Trump takes office. If the case goes as expected, the result will be to leave the issue of youth gender medicine to the states.
3/ This will create a situation where half the states ban medical gender transition of minors and in the other half parents who won't consent to medical transition risk losing custody of their children. Neither side is likely to provide adequate mental health support.

1/ The authors of the Canadian Paediatric Society position statement on gender affirming care have now published a response to the recent letter to the editor calling for a review of the position statement in light of the Cass Review.
academic.oup.com/pch/advance-ar…
2/ The response repeats falsehoods such as the claim that the systematic reviews commissioned by the Cass Review excluded studies which were not randomized control trials when in fact the systematic reviews considered and evaluated all types of studies.
cass.independent-review.uk/home/publicati…Image
3/ The response relies heavily on a critique of the Cass Review by Dr. Meredithe McNamara et al. distributed by the "Yale Integrity Project." The first peer reviewed rebuttal to this paper has just been published.

1/ The proposals by @ABDanielleSmith to protect gender-questioning youth in schools and healthcare are generally consistent with best international practice and evidence but there are still a few problem areas. . Image

@ABDanielleSmith 2/ Banning gender reassignment surgery on minors should be a non-issue. Activists claim it never happens but it does. Someone too young to get a tattoo shouldn't be able to get an elective double mastectomy.
nationalpost.com/news/young-det…Image
@ABDanielleSmith 3/ The proposal to restrict puberty blockers and cross sex hormones to children over 16 is close the the current policies in England, Sweden and Finland. These countries do make an exemption for patients enrolled in a research program.segm.org/Swedish-2022-t…
