"I was a dope, OK ... Focus on the overall message I'm giving."

Stella and Mia's interview of Gordon Guyatt is incredible. My notes 🧵

@stellaomalley3 @_CryMiaRiver
(BTW these 2 have very different reactions to Guyatt's epic admission.)

2.
Guyatt is trite about pediatric gender med (PGM). Nothing new here if you've met a buffoon before.

✅ "Multidisciplinary assessments" are key
✅ "My knowledge is superficial"
✅ Cuts off knowledgeable interlocutor
✅ Certain that PGM should be allowed

🚨 Seattle Public Schools defies US Supreme Court

Parents have a constitutional right to opt their young children out of "LGBTQ" lessons for religious reasons. SCOTUS declared this in June in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

SPS has not updated its policy 🧵

2.
SPS mandates LGBTQ lessons "for the purpose of increasing kindness."

Mahmoud rejects this idea. The lessons inevitably teach kids what to think about sex and "gender identity."

The dissent screamed "kindness," the majority smacked it down.

🚨ACLU shenanigans

SCOTUS is set to hear 2 girls' sports cases this term: Hecox (Idaho) and BPJ (WV).

BPJ is a boy on blockers. Hecox is a college man who went through puberty. ACLU reps both.

ACLU wants SCOTUS only thinking about puberty-blocked boys. So... 🧵 2.
ACLU got Hecox to drop his lawsuit. Now it's arguing his case is moot so SCOTUS shouldn't hear it.

Details from Idaho's counsel:

🧙‍♂️ Gender ideology is made of certainties + mystique. "I'm nonbinary. You can't understand because you're cis."

It's hard to escape that combo 👻

Studying history freed me because I saw the wizards drafting spells in their underwear. The stories behind their incantations ⏬ 2.
"Trans women will be raped in men's prison."

In the 90s, NGOs argued small men were raped in prison and the assaults were making all of America less safe. Trans activists hijacked that campaign.

Small white men. Trans activists dropped that bit.

NYT just published an article about Penn's Title 9 settlement without mentioning...

Title 9.
@nytimes

2.
The Education Department did not vaguely accuse Penn of supporting transgender rights.

It specifically accused Penn of violating women's Title 9 rights by forcing them to compete against Will Thomas.

Because I'll do anything to procrastinate cooking dinner, let's mock the latest NYT gender lament.

2.
In a story that gets almost everything wrong, NYT correctly notes the opposition to transing kids is bipartisan.

They've been mentioning this consistently. A memo went out. 🎉

NYT published an essay by a journalist about how essential the youth suicide hotline is. He knows because he worked it himself.

Uh ... does this guy have credentials?🤦

He has no idea what distressed kids need. He just reports what they told him they want. (1/3)

My Dad was a crisis intervention counselor with an MSW and clinical license (now retired). It never ceases to amaze me how different the Trevor Project sounds from him. "Just give suicidal teens what they demand," he said never.

I'm quoted today in the NYT as the counterpoint to a bunch of gay doofuses and shills. 🧵

2.
This guy thinks wanting to do something is just like wanting to be something.

We're listening to his opinion because he got married🥰

On second read, the NYT story on the trans legal movement makes the moderates look worse than the radicals.

My notes on that and more...🧵
@nickconfessore 2.
NYT implies trans advocates should have avoided debates over sex or made up a palatable theory.

But how can you argue trans people are not the sex they seem to be, without making up a novel theory of sex? And why should voters accept a made-up theory of sex?

Trans activists are scapegoating Chase Strangio for their loss in Skrmetti, to convince Americans that their movement is fundamentally sound.

No. The perfidy predates Strangio and is intrinsic to the argument that we should pretend some people are the opposite sex.

Links⏬ 2.
Today, NYT eagerly transcribes the anti-Strangio argument of trans activists and anonymous ACLU attorneys while minimizing the bodily injury caused by gender med

THE PROTOCOL - Episode 4

NYT covers Jamie Reed's explosive affidavit, but only the driest parts. Not the desiccated vaginas ripping open, e.g.

NYT asks Jamie whiny questions. "There are so many people who are going to feel so hurt" by Jamie's testimony against gender med. 2.
Jamie responds to NYT brilliantly. But because all the horrifying details of medical harm are stripped out, it sounds like she's engaging in a fuzzy abstract debate about how to evaluate a treatment's efficacy.

🧵
THE PROTOCOL - Episode 3

NYT sets up Laura-Edwards Leeper as a hero of careful assessment, and Johanna-Olson Kennedy as the villain who opposes assessment.

JOK is a villain but not because of her stance on assessments. Those are, in fact, bogus. Here we go... 2.
LEL spent a week in the Netherlands learning.

She was a young shrink hired by Norman Spack, who'd started transing "street kids" in the 70s and "salivated" at the thought of blocking puberty to help boys pass. (NYT doesn't report this.)

THE PROTOCOL - Episode 1

NYT introduces us to FG, whose puberty was blocked by Dutch doctors in the late 1980s. She's now in her 50s and spends her "whole life being covert."

Here are my notes on this haunting episode. 2.
NYT tells us "trans" patients were often viewed as psychotic in the 1950s-60s, implying doctors were wrong.

In fact many were psychotic - this is evident when you read primary sources.

🧵
Chase Strangio never explains why it hurts women for the law to acknowledge there are two sexes.

Always just mumbo jumbo about self-determination and colonialism.

So let's figure it out ourselves.

2.
In a recent lawsuit against the Dept of State, Strangio suggests passport agents will beat up nonbinary women if their passport indicates they are female (rather than nonbinary).

Hm, this can't be the real reason sex classifications hurt women.

🧵
Andrea Long Chu's "Females" (2019) argued "getting fucked makes you female because fucked is what a female is."

Having been castrated before publication, he wrote that "sissy porn did make me trans."

Chu now reflects on Females in a new afterword. 2.
I agree that elevating trans-ID people's "stories" leaves them open to grift.

But Chu doesn't name the grifters: gender doctors.

When they're pressed about the science behind gender med they say, "Don't be so cold, listen to my patients' stories!"

In 2019, the Harvard Law Review published a 95-page article in support of nonbinary rights. It's been cited by 3 federal appeals courts (5th, 9th, 10th Cir) & the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Lawyers, feminists, athletes, rape victims - buckle up.

2.
The author does not define sex or gender. She thinks those terms should be "culturally contested."

Sex should be defined differently in each legal context, she says. The ACLU is now pushing that idea in Orr v. Trump, a lawsuit about passport gender markers.

The notorious Judge Reyes has struck again.

She's presiding in Talbott, the lawsuit challenging new military restrictions on trans service.

She is now helping the trans activist lawyers draft an amended complaint and motion for preliminary injunction. 2.
New Defense Dept regs bar people with gender dysphoria and detransitioners from service.

Waivers are permitted but it's unlikely trans-ID people would qualify or even seek them, as the military would treat them as their real sex and deny them hormones, etc.

Federal Court Censures Trans Rights Attorneys in Judge Shopping Case

Carl Charles, formerly of Lambda and later of US DOJ, is ordered to pay $5,000. Her matter is referred to federal prosecutors to investigate possible criminal conduct (lying under oath).

The other 2 censured lawyers are Melody Eagan and Jeffrey Doss, both of the law firm Lightfoot. They served as local counsel in this Alabama lawsuit.

ACLU and other orgs were involved in the case but not censured.

I wrote about the scandal last year

Secret school transitions got the green light from the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals (Boston) this week.

They sat on this hot potato for 17 months after argument and now issue it per curiam (not ID'ing the author among 3 judges).

1 of the original judges, Lipez, recused. 2.
Foote v. Ludlow concerns Baird Middle School in western Mass.

Court says pronouns, like sex, are given to babies at birth.

The court uses "gender-neutral 'they/them'" for the girl, who was 11 at the time of secret transition.

Washington AG filed about 100 declarations in its lawsuit challenging Trump's gender med EO.

Doctors, parents, and trans-ID kids speak in their own voices.

Feels like an oral history of a community in crisis. But what caused the crisis? 2.
This mother is talking about her 8-year old son whose therapist has been helping him pretend to "have babies."

Tomorrow Dem AGs will argue in a Seattle federal court that Trump's "Protecting Children from Mutilation" EO should be blocked.

Their brief is a scathing expose of gender medicine that thinks it is a scathing expose of Donald Trump.
🧵 2.
The Dem AGs start with a sensational threat.

There is no evidence for the claim "transgender children will die" because they can't disrupt their endocrine systems. The only study on point showed gender med doesn't prevent suicide.
