2/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Meet Dr Marci Bowers, a surgeon and the President of WPATH. Bowers has said that puberty blockers are “fully reversible.” But evidence suggests otherwise and Bowers knows this. 💥#WPATHFiles https://t.co/6GhJwiFJ34

3/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Daniel Metzger, an endocrinologist, knows that talking to kids about fertility preservation is difficult because they don’t fully understand what they are giving up. Dr Metzger also knows that reproductive regret is common. 🤯 #WPATHFiles https://t.co/opvhYUWJWF
@genspect - Genspect
4/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Dianne Berg, a psychologist, knows that kids cannot developmentally understand the implications of transition and acknowledges that parents are signing off on things they don’t understand. This is NOT informed consent. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/nOht57JNCM
@genspect - Genspect
5/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Jamison Green, an activist and former WPATH President, knows that patients are often signing consent forms without reading because they are afraid to read the details of the surgeries and procedures they are about to undergo. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/El64OotV4U

6/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Cecile Ferrando, a surgeon, experiments with giving young women small doses of testosterone to, for example, stop their periods. Dr Ferrando says that her experiments help improve young women’s wellbeing. Sure, “wellbeing.”🙄 https://t.co/EydwJys8VQ

7/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Ren Massey, a psychotherapist, knows that multiple things could be affecting a person’s sense of their gender identity and, in particular, he knows that exploring one’s sexuality can help clarify gender issues. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/7DTxnREGYq
@genspect - Genspect
8/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Scott Mosser, a plastic surgeon and WPATH member, disregards the risks associated with operating on patients whose BMI is too high, thereby putting patients at increased risk. Mosser shows blatant disregard for medical ethics! #WPATHFiles https://t.co/m2CG6K6L7o

9/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Sidbh Gallagher, a plastic surgeon who advertises gender surgeries to teens on TikTok, has received backlash from obese patients who say they experienced severe post-op complications. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/wqGoCnD4Wp

10/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Dan Karasic, a psychiatrist, refuses to acknowledge that mental illness can impact someone’s capacity to consent to treatments like cross-sex hormones. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/JjwTodONlZ
@genspect - Genspect
11/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Johanna Olson-Kennedy pushes for a risky shift, reframing of gender interventions as being about “embodiment” goals, not treatment for dysphoria. This is dangerous; it takes away responsibility from professionals causing harm. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/Rp7U1pOx8E
@genspect - Genspect
12/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Thomas W Johnson wrote a chapter in WPATH’s SOC 8 which presents “eunuch” as a gender identity. 🤯 This alone should make organizations who refer to WPATH’s SOC 8 as authoritative think twice. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/3Fa083iZUz
@genspect - Genspect
13/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Thomas Satterwhite, a surgeon, has actively sought advice on how to get more surgeons to perform “non-standard” gender surgeries—these include nullification surgery, ph*llus-preserving neo-v*ginas, minimum-depth neo-v*ginas. #WPATHFiles https://t.co/U2VKu1Z9Ro
@genspect - Genspect
14/ WHO’S WHO IN THE WPATH FILES 🔍: Dr Michael Irwig is worried that surgeons will lose their license if they c*strate psychologically troubled men, so he’s delighted that surgeons can now assign the label “eunuch” to said men before performing irreversible surgeries. #WPATHFiles
