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.”

opa.hhs.gov/sites/default/… 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."

-- 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.

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 (🧵🧵):

Between 2019 and 2023, hospitals submitted more than $100 million in claims for these experimental treatments on children.

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 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.”

🚨🚨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.

🧵 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."

⚠️ 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.

On July 13th, 21 researchers & practitioners across 9 countries (including some of the world's preeminent experts in pediatric gender medicine) published a letter in the Wall Street Journal that dramatically changes the debate on pediatric gender medicine. 1/… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… The letter was written in response to a letter from Dr. Stephen Hammes, President of the Endocrine Society. Hammes claimed that childhood medical transition is backed by robust evidence. The 21 experts who wrote the letter published Thursday explicitly disagree. 2/… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The super-woke Association of American Medical Colleges (@AAMCtoday), which gained unwanted attention this week when a made-up statistic it inserted in its amicus brief in Students for Fair Admissions was endorsed in Justice Jackson's dissent, just did a late Friday news dump. 1/ Rather than just admit they were wrong that having a black physician doubles survival rates for black newborns, they substitute a new claim and assert that they are still right on substance even if they were wrong in fact.  2/

You’ve probably never heard of the American Board of Internal Medicine @ABIMcert & its nonprofit, @ABIMFoundation. Why would you be aware of a behind-the-scenes association for primary care doctors? But ABIM has gone woke, and now you need to know. #abimf2022 1/ Until recently, @ABIMcert’s work focused on maintaining rigorous standards for internal medicine docs & improving the doctor-patient relationship. Primary care doctors, unlike specialists and surgeons, deal intimately with their patients on a regular basis over many years. 2/

Breaking: With the support of @donoharm, two doctors plus 8 state AG's have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against @SecBecerra & Biden admin to rescind the admin’s adoption of an “equity” policy that rewards doctors for engaging in racial discrimination. 1/ The policy in question is a new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulation, quietly adopted last year, that provides higher Medicare reimbursements – in other words, higher pay – to doctors who adopt an “anti-racism plan” for their practice. 2/

THREAD: We are excited to launch Do No Harm, a national, nonpartisan association of medical professionals dedicated to combating the attack on our health care system from woke activists: DoNoHarmMedicine.org 1/ If you thought our medical schools, research institutes, and hospitals were being spared the divisive “social justice” activism that is harming so many other areas of American life, we have bad news. They’re very much under attack, and the consequences will be dangerous. 2/
