Introducing Dr. Jesse Krikorian, a woman who thinks she’s a man and the American Medical Association’s chosen expert to defend its policies on sterilizing and mutilating kids.

Dr. Krikorian on sterilizing patients:

“Sperm is not that hard to come by. You can buy it.”

2/ Yesterday, you saw AMA President Dr. Bobby Mukkamala’s attempt to defend transing the kids, but instead completely unraveling at the slightest pushback by Dr. @EithanHaim. For their second attempt, the AMA offered up Dr. Jesse Krikorian.

Here’s how it went:

3/ Dr. Krikorian begins by assuring @BradPaquetteMI that “there is a lot of research,” but admits outcomes are “challenging” because none follow a patient group for more than a year or two — far too early to clinically evaluate regret or a full range of health outcomes.

4/ That doesn’t seem to bother Dr. Krikorian much though, because if a boy suffers one of the extremely likely outcomes — such as permanent sterilization — from pumping estrogen into his body, “sperm is not that hard to come by. You can buy it.”

5/ It is routine in gender clinics to offer estrogen to boys as young as 13.

Can Dr. Krikorian meaningfully counsel 12yo boys about freezing their sperm?

Especially if she thinks they can just “buy it” later?

6/ Krikorian claims:

- Parents know if their 5yo is trans.

- Doctors are transing kids to appease their concerns about how other people perceive them.

- A 13/14yo is ready for permanent decisions after their pubertal (and brain) development has been blocked for a couple of years.

7/ Dr. Krikorian attempts to reassure Rep. Paquette by telling him the kids all get extra mental health screening. What does that mean?

Years speaking to a psychiatrist like @Miriam_Grossman? No. It means a few hours with a woke social worker.

8/ For years, the trans lobby have raved about the psychological screening these kids go through before being castrated, sterilized and mutilated.

But it turns, out, it's just a few hours with graduates of ideologically captured social work programs like this:

9/ Pro-trans graduates of a non-medical degree that takes an incredibly mediocre SAT score to get into is not a sufficient evaluation for doctors to use before sterilizing gender confused children and cutting off their healthy body parts.

10/ Dr. Krikorian doesn’t appear to have ever second guessed this, because she claims the regret rate is 0.5 - 1%. Even though she admitted earlier that the studies don't follow patients long enough to measure regret, nor has she treated any enough to follow them into later life.

11/ If Dr. Krikorian had read the actual science in her supposed field of expertise, she’d know that the regret rate is nonsense, but like Dr. Bobby, Dr. Krikorian also opts to dismiss science she doesn’t like.

12/ In fact, Dr. Krikorian hadn’t even read @RobertKennedyJr @HHSGov's Report on Gender Dysphoria — the most extensive US report on the topic she is an alleged specialist in, authored by our nation’s top health agency.

Krikorian, the AMA’s choice-expert calls it “politically motivated.”

13/ Of course, Dr. Krikorian repeats the same falsehoods that Dr. Bobby did.

- “Puberty blockers are very reversible.”

- Medical transition “improves suicide outcomes”

14/ These are false claims, and we know that. Rep. Paquette, who had actually read the HHS Report, challenges Dr. Krikorian on the alleged evidence for reduced suicides.

She ultimately admits her best source doesn’t reach statistical significance. In other words, it’s useless.

15/ AMA President Dr. Bobby assured Rep. Paquette that the way to feel less distressed about the castration, sterilization and mutilation of confused kids was to speak to this “expert.”

Does anyone feel less distressed?
