They're getting these perspectives directly from a pedophile forum. "The world's top trans medical association collaborated with members of a site that hosts child sexual abuse material in order to draft gender identity guidelines." http://bit.ly/3RzoONL

THREAD: A study contradicting leftist narratives around gender dysphoria has been RETRACTED by the publisher less than 3 months after being published.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD), described as a “socially contagious syndrome,” follows a theory proposing that culture, values, and preoccupations cause some youth—especially females—to attribute certain personal issues to gender dysphoria.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
ROGD causes youth to “falsely believe” that they are trans, and they must socially and medically transition in order to resolve their issues.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Prior mental issues were common—those with these issues were more likely to transition socially and medically than those without them. Parents often felt pressured by clinicians to go along with these transitions, which considerably WORSENED their child’s mental state.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
75% of youths in the study were biological females, who were found to be MUCH more likely to transition socially than biological males.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
The increasing number of detransitioners raises questions about the “desirability” of transition, according to the study.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
84.3% of survey respondents were mothers reporting on their own children. Likewise, relationships between “trans youth” and their mothers declined more severely than other relationships after transition.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Gender dysphoria tends to appear in girls earlier than boys and for longer periods of time in girls than boys
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
57% of parents said their child has a history of mental issues. 59.4% of those children were girls, which was slightly higher than those who were boys (51%). The graph below indicates how long mental issues became prevalent before a child’s dysphoria.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Anxiety was the most common symptom prior to dysphoria, which was most common among girls (47.3%) than boys (35.2%). “Difficulty socializing with peers” was the most common symptom among boys (28.1%).
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
72.6% of parents said stressful events in their child’s life may have contributed to the onset of gender dysphoria.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Coming out as a “different gender” rather than the opposite gender was more common among girls than boys. In my eyes, this indicates that “coming out” is often done solely for social gain.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
65.3% of youths had socially transitioned. Of those youth, 65.7% were girls.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Out of all social transition steps, the majority of boys (22.7%) had changed pronouns. The majority of girls (76.8%) had begun “breast binding.”
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
Asked to rate the effects of social transition on their child’s dysphoria, anxiety and depression, parents were much more likely to say they had worsened than improved.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
51.8% of parents (out of 390 who answered the question) said they had felt pressure from a “gender clinic or specialist” to socially or medically transition their child. These parents were also more likely to believe their child had deteriorated after transition.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
37.8% of parents said they’d been referred to a gender specialist. 82.3% of girls with a referral had socially transitioned, compared with 54% of girls who didn’t. For boys, those numbers were 44.3% and 21.1%.
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
👀 55.4% of parents said their child was friends w/ others who “came out as transgender around the same time.” 73.3% of girls w/ transgender friends had taken steps toward social transition, compared with 54% without such friends. For boys, the numbers were 39.5% and 21.7%
@WokeArchive - Woke Archive
“Youths with history of mental health issues were especially likely to have taken steps to socially and medically transition.” 🚨The authors then explain why that is so concerning🚨

Thread The Shocking Origin Of Gender Identity A cautionary tale the world has ignored. What you are about to watch is deeply disturbing and unbelievably sad. In 2000 David Reimer went on Oprah to detail the horrors inflicted on him by Psychologist John Money, the man who invented the concept of Gender Identity. He appeared for the first time publicly on the Oprah Winfrey show to expose what had been done to him.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
In the end, the burden imposed upon David proved too much and he took his life in a grocery store parking lot with a single shotgun blast to the head. His twin brother Brian also committed suicide. With this in mind let’s look at the man behind this tragedy, John Money.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Not knowing what to do with her son who had experienced a horrific circumcision, David’s mother turned to John Money after seeing him on TV.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Indeed Money’s prayers were answered in the form of the twins. He needed a way to prove his theory, the same theory being taught in schools as if it is a scientifically proven fact. The theory of Gender Identity.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Money conducted many sessions with David and the subsequent recordings were released detailing what was discussed. Early on Money learned that David was not accepting of the identity imposed on him.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Not to be deterred and fixated on his demented theory Money moves forward and did so in a way many would consider inappropriate to say the least.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Money became more and more inappropriate showing a 7 year old photos of woman giving birth to show “Brenda” what female genitalia was. Not only that he found it appropriate to discuss sex reassignment surgery with the child making him very uncomfortable.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The abuse grew even more vile when Money made David and his brother pose nude in sexual positions so that he could take photographs. The photographs are said to be held at the Kinsey Institute and have never been allowed release.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
By the time David was thirteen Money started pressuring him to have the surgery, something David was adamantly opposed to. Money even brought in an adult Transgender person to help him convince David. This was David’s last session with Money.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Unbeknownst to David and his family even though Money knew his experiment and theory proved to be an utter failure, he began publicizing it as a resounding success. Academia as well as the press gushed over what they believed to be a successful transition. This angered David and he went public. The publicity eventually led to both David and his brother Brian’s death via suicide.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
To this day John Money is praised and lionized by advocates of this pernicious ideology based on a theory proven to be fraudulent and yet here we are. What you have just learned is the truth and mustn’t be ignored any longer. This ideology is ripping families apart and tearing at the fabric of society itself. Unless good people stand up and oppose this on a mass scale, it will subsume everything, leaving broken children and families in its wake, just as it did with patient zero, David Reimer.

This is the most astonishing interview. Graham Linehan (@Glinner) has been vindicated over and over regarding the medical abuse of children by gender clinics, and he's correctly pointed out that central figures within “gender identity” theorizing have sexualized children. For starters, John Money: American sexologist and psychologist from New Zealand who practiced at Johns Hopkins, considered the first to coin the terms “gender identity” and “gender role.” Money believed pedophilia was a harmless sexuality, and he promoted pornography as a means for young children to develop their sense of a “gender identity.” In a 1991 interview for the pro-pedophile journal Paidika, Money is quoted as saying: “If I were to see the case of a boy aged ten or eleven who’s intensely erotically attracted toward a man in his twenties or thirties, if the relationship is totally mutual, and the bonding is genuinely totally mutual, then I would not call it pathological in any way.” Chemical castration, pioneered by John Money as a treatment for pedophiles, is now being practiced on children via “puberty blockers,” and most mainstream media have failed to ask crucial questions, such as, who benefits from halting puberty, and why the trans movement is so fixated on children's bodies. Or, why it is that the leading lobbying group on this issue, WPATH, worked with members of a sadomasochistic fetish forum who wrote graphic sexual stories about castrating children.
@WomenReadWomen - Genevieve Gluck
In 1986, Tatchell contributed a chapter to a book called “Betrayal of Youth” compiled by Warren Middleton, former vice-chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), which argued for “questioning ages of majority and ages of consent”. PIE, which for a decade advocated for adult-minor sexual relationships to be decriminalized and called for abolishing the age of consent, was disbanded in 1984, and several prominent members were arrested for child sexual abuse offenses - including Middleton, whose real name was John Parratt. https://reduxx.info/uk-london-police-partners-with-lgbt-activist-who-defended-sex-with-children/ https://theguardian.com/uk/2011/jul/15/paedophiles-jailed-child-abuse-drawings
@WomenReadWomen - Genevieve Gluck
"Certainly, in the realm of sexual ages of consent, we need to ask whether the law has any legitimate role to play in criminalising consenting, victimless sexual activity," Tatchell wrote. Other chapters in the book covered child pornography and prostitution, incest and “how to make paedophilia more acceptable.” He later tried to distance himself from this book by claiming he was “conned” into contributing. However, at the time, Tatchell praised the book in a review he penned for The Communist Party of Great Britain. https://reduxx.info/uk-london-police-partners-with-lgbt-activist-who-defended-sex-with-children/

Images of child abuse, including photographs of Challenor and his victim, were found in the house and on Challenor’s computer and camera. It emerged that Challenor senior committed his crimes while dressed as a little girl, wearing baby-doll dresses and nappies... Not only did [Aimee] Challenor hold tremendous sway in a major political party, he often appeared in the press and was given a regular media platform.

Tucker Carlson - How a Mental Illness Turned into Gender Dysphoria or Transgenderism Most of the 20th century, “Transgenderism” or “Gender Dysphoria” use to be identified as a Mental Illness, called Transsexualism or Gender Identity Disorder. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association amended DSM (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Illness)… In this amendment, they alternated the Nomenclature so that transsexualism or gender identity disorder became gender dysphoria. If you remove the pharmaceuticals, the surgeries, you’re left with a cross-dressing transvestite. https://rumble.com/v3n1zlm-tucker-carlson-how-cross-dressing-turned-into-gender-dysphoria.html
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
IMPORTANT: 🚨🚨🚨 A detransitioner has just filed a lawsuit against Dr. Jason Rafferty, Dr. Michelle Forcier, Thundermist Health Clinic, and others. This is a major development, as Rafferty is the author of the @AmerAcadPeds policy statement on "gender-affirming care." 🧵
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
The plaintiff, LU, had multiple psychiatric disorders, including dissociative identity disorder, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder, when she sought help from Thundermist Health Clinic in Rhode Island.
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
She had just "escaped from over 18 years of physical, sexual, and psychological torment at the hands of a cult and its leadership, which began for her around age 6." Among other things, the cult had subjected her to conversion therapy to try to "cure" her of being lesbian.
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
In his clinical notes, Rafferty acknowledged: LU's "current goals are for... (testosterone) and 'top surgery' but describes internal turmoil between alters [multiple personalities] about meaning of gender identity that likely requires additional support and exploration."
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
Rafferty nevertheless approved her for hormones, stating: "it is this provider’s perspective that Testosterone would be indicated based on history, and with essential psychological supports in place."
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
After a brief hormone high period (T is thought to have antidepressant properties), LU "began experiencing dangerous mood swings, fits of anger, more frequent bouts of depression, and feeling even more disconnected from herself and her sexuality than she was prior to the [T]."
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
"The facial hair and other bodily responses to the testosterone were more severe than advertised, and she quickly realized that the treatment was not going as promised."
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
When LU inquired about discontining T, she was met with "cold, disinterested apathy" from Rafferty, according to the complaint. Thundermist allegedly provided her transportation to & from the clinic when she wanted to transition, but not when she wanted to detransition.
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
After seeing Michelle Forcier, who also ignored the red flags and approved her for T, LU moved out of state and began receiving mental health therapy. This helped her "see that her desire for a male body was not gender dysphoria but body dysmorphia brought about by...
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
a late puberty, childhood bullying, trauma from sexual assaults, and an unhealthy perspective that she could never achieve the beauty of all the women she encountered on social media and TV." By that point, however, the damage from T was done.
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
LU now suffers from "body disfigurement, ongoing estrogen deficiencies, painful premenstrual dysphoric disorder, suspected osteoporosis, development of painful skin nodules from testosterone injection sites, an onset of severe histamine sensitivity resulting in...
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
chronic severe allergies, suspected infertility, reduced sex drive, chronic hot flashes, genital pain and discomfort, chronic joint pain, and a host of emotional and/or psychological injuries including newly onset body dysmorphia,...
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
as to the changes testosterone brought about her body, [and] significant emotional distress impacting many of her relationships."
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
LU is represented by @detranslaw, a boutique law firm specializing in gender medicine, and is suing for medical malpractice, gross negligence, and lack of informed consent.
@LeorSapir - Leor Sapir
This thread is based on the legal filing, but there is also a piece about the lawsuit in the Daily Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12654975/Detransitioner-multiple-personality-gender-reassignment.html

Hearings for BC Nurse Amy Hamm @preta_6 begin again at 1pm est/10am pacific today. #FreeSpeech Will @JamesCantorPhD (one of Canada's top researchers in atypical sexuality & paraphilias) be accepted as an expert witness for Hamm? find out w/ me. I'll be🧵ing
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
and we're back on the record... @bastow_karen opens. It seems that Cantor has been accepted as an expert witness & will be examined by Bastow then subject to cross examination. Next Witness will be Amy Hamm, and @LDBildy will be calling witnesses for Hamm next week.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Dr James Cantor is taking the virtual stand, swearing in. Bastow taking Cantor through his report prepared for the Amy Hamm hearings: Some repetition of the qualification process as Cantor testifies now to his qualifications. BARBARA FINDLAY objects to Cantor's statement of qualifications... Panel ruling was to limit testimony to gender dysphoria and gender identity Bastow qualifies her opening question: Cantor is entitled to testify to his overall experience but Bastow will limit to GD and Gender Identity expertise
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: Diagnostic criteria for intervention for GD has changed in the last twenty years. Quote: "Standards are not standards if they are open to interpretation" We moved away from gatekeeping model (attempts to mitigate harm was a long process of months or years living as desired self) to an informed consent model. There is no strong evidence for benefits for intervention in transition. This must be Informed consent model is a general model for physically evidenced disease. Is the person cognitively capable of making decisions?
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: does the informed consent model apply kids under 16 in Canada? Cantor: it's complicated. Generally requires the involvement of parents unless parents do not consent... Bastow: asking about US gatekeeping... moves on to Europe... FINDLAY (objection): asks that Dr. Cantor/panel to restrict testimony to Canada and the US models Bastow responds: Science is not limited by geography. Science is not confined by the legal jurisdictions. Decisions of other countries are relevant to the testimony. Panel stands down for five minutes.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Panel agrees that Bastow can pursue the question: "can you advise us on the position of various European countries over 16 and under 16 - and whether models have changed in this are since 1998." Europe has gone in opposite direction of Canada and US. Originally went in the same direction but quickly realized treatments were not having the desired organizations. Europe rejectected WPATH and activist positions and now explicitly reject treatments under informed consent. Is exact opposite direction of Canada and US. Europe has controlled for and removed people with conflict of interest... Cantor points out well-known conflict of interest are both financial and biased towards benefiting certain specialties
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor elucidating on conflict of interests - if practitioners and clinics are positioned to benefit from the medical interventions and they are the only ones creating the guidelines. Europe has figured this out and is having reviews independent of the specialties that benefit from financial and intellectual conflict of interest. Conflicted groups in the US are coming up with policies that benefit them. These specialties should not be in charge of developing guidelines. My words: this is like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
WPATH uses sketchy language to describe development of policies and conflict of interest. Claims no-one is in a conflict of interest at WPATH. Bastow: Q re: conflict of interest Cantor: WHO and National Academy counts that being the recipient of a grant in a specialty, or providing services in this speciality puts the recipient in a conflict of interest for policy development. This means that WPATH development of guidelines is outside of internationally recognized rules of conflict of interest.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: Can you elaborate on change of demographic. Cantor: occurred in every country. the change exploded in 2012 (coincidentally?) was same year WPATH changed guidelines. Demographic changes Europe, US and Canada, explosive change was primarily in youth, was mostly male who would grow to young gay men. the change was mostly male for several decades, after social media it became a different cohort, biologically female, early adolescent and onset of puberty Different mental health profile. Can't assume the same protocols used for previous cohort should apply Also the male presenting adults, AGPs after 2012, no longer subject to gatekeeping either.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: why is gatekeeping important with AGP? Cantor: it is well established that biological men, adult onset GD have a sexual interest pattern that is more unusual than being gay or lesbian, men attracted to self as female. unlike gay kids effeminate, these are often married straight. AGP occurs with other sexual interests, clinical question: are men taking advantage of transgender identities in order to act out their other interests like exibitionism or sadist taking advantage of the situation in order to enact the other What are the motivations of of the client? When self-identification is the only criteria and there is no objective evaluation then people can take advantage of society's willingness to embrace sexual diversity
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: have service levels increased or decreased Cantor: amount of energy has not gone down but there is a question of this is sapping away from resources for general mental health for, let's say, teenagers.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: Drugs, can you speak to the types of drugs and use of drugs in the treatment of gender dysphoria. Cantor: Lupron is same drug as the drugs used euphemistically as chemical castration drugs Primary long-term side-effects are bone density loss and osteoporosis.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: you've had experience in research design, also as senior scientist at CAMH - can you expand on designing research into sexual behaviour. Cantor, you've just described a course I might teach. From full range of scientific methods, from hardcore math and physics and design of questionnaires... Can tell you strengths and weaknesses of research designs.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor confirms he has reviewed Hamm's comments as well as investigative reports of Hamm's comments. Bastow: moving into new area... taking a break: return at 11:30/2:30 est
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Back on the record. #iStandWithAmyHamm Fellow Xweeps: what is important to you about the outcome of these hearings? Do you think if Hamm is exonerated this will make a difference in Canada and alleviate some of the fear related to being witch-hunted?
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: can you state your summary of opinions excepting redactions from your report Cantor: Opinions are are unchanged & the facts available regarding the importance of speaking out against their own clinics. American Academy of Pediatrics is subject to a lawsuit, and is undertaking a systematic evidence review Hamm's comments include statements that people don't want to hear, science and society must contain examples of speaking out about the issue and about science itself. growing evidence and growing voices critical of the practices
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: people are relying on perceptions and subjective feelings. People are preying on others based on emotions and claims of victimization. Bastow turning to: "No consensus among clinicians on best methods of treatment the primary theories of what's going on. Agreed Upon: enormous and increasing need for MH services, & many people presenting with GD People accept at face value vs people relying on objective evidence. So much emotion, so few experts, so much conflict of interest, & people are making decisions based on optics and political posturing. Public discussion consists of half truths, omissions of relevant information, Objectivity has come to opposite conclusion of what is popular. International orgs have come up with same conclusion, but US & Canada are opposite. Making decisions based on optics rather than verifiable truths.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Pyramid of Evidence Cantor: how to distinguish between good science and bad science one set of studies vs another set of studies for non-scientific boards of decision-makers. The purpose of the pyramid or levels of evidence is to rank quality of evidence. transition on demand relies on low-level studies. Ignore higher level studies that outrank the lower level studies. ie surveys correlation does not imply causation
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor compares magic ritual over crystals causing the a lucky day the next days to the quality of poor/low level studies. Correlation is not causation. Best evidence is from Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) Next a cohort study is taking a group and track them over time. We're seeing the same people over time so we get to watch for differences.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: No RCT studies have been conducted for treatment for GD. The best we have is the cohort study. The very highest level is the systematic reviews of evidence (meta study) Bastow: There is no evidence indicating any consensus. We can only tolerate strong risk when we have strong evidence. Bastow: could you comment on how gay men might be disadvantaged by current protocols. Cantor: unanimous studies show most effeminate boys grow out of dysphoria. Young gay men are put in danger by current policies. Bastow: how are women disempowered by current policies? Cantor: adult onset type (male attracted to women) are more ambiguous of what's motivating them interfering with women and their sense of safety. Bio males present more perceived risk. Locker rooms, adult males with atypical interest also exhibit more than one atypical sexual interterest. Impossible to know what the motivators are.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Bastow: how does ROGD relate to the disempowerment of women. Cantor: childhood onset strongly related to homosexuality; adult type strongly related to atypical sexualities. ROGD is a third group emerged with social media, at same time as spike in mental health issues in children in retrospect it seems obvious.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: people are generalizing treatments from other groups (childhood onset & adult onset) to the mostly female cohort of adolescent onset there is nothing to say that the treatments for one or both (very rare) classical types would work for the new very common presentation of teenage girls. Current policies are preventing young women from developing healthy identities that would be normal for young women.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
today is a hearing day for @preta_6 Amy Hamm's hearing Dr James Cantor testifying. Points out the definition of Experimental prevents insurers from paying for intervention. So Orgs like WPATH make assertions / opinions that these protocols are NOT experimental. Bastow: can you go through the terms of art about sex vs gender? Cantor: largely on Social Media, use sex and gender in ways not related to science Once can determine one's sex with a reliability better than almost any other trait difference. The definition of sex has been, many writers take the list of objective verifiable characteristics simply ad gender identity to the list of descriptors related to sex. "gender" has a long history of being defined in amorphous terms.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor now going into DSDs disorders of sexual development. Cantor goes into various presentations of DSDs. DSDs are exceptionally rare, less than 1/10th of 1% of we exclude hypospadia (a birth defect in males where the urethra does not open at the head of the penis)
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
We are back again with the hearings for @preta_6 with the BC College of Nurses & Midwives. There have been many developments in the issue in the public domain. One of them is the obvious correlation between gender activism & open anti-semitism of the radical woke cancel-cult left; another is the Angus Reid polling on the culture wars showing how small a population the cancelt cult left is. Back on the record:
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: Another correlation with the Adolescent Onset GD, they have other disorders, ASD, Personality Disorder and Histrionic Disorder. They have social functioning disorders developing healthy social functioning. not getting the same attention as the flashy, easy-to-retweet superficial interpretation of GD In science there is no such thing as inner sense. Science requires something be falsifiable. requires something basic to be scientifically verifiable. Even depression shows (vague) but verifiable patterns in brain scans, but self-reported gender identity cannot be verified. #IStandWithAmyHamm
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: Science has verified evidence of gay and lesbian brains, when we take groups and compare them, there is evidence of being shifted towards the opposite brain. Several studies have made mistakes when trying to verify a trans brain. "Confounding" problem examined mutli-variant subjects (gay and also trans) and confounded the differences. the conclusions in the studies could not be stated clearly because we couldn't verify gender identity in the brain. (I've been reading & studying on this subject for years and this is just the clearest articulation of this claims and science I've ever heard - partly why I'm taking these notes in detail)
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: integration of sexual orientation into society & integration gender identity into society are not the same. Orientation is one's private sexual behaviour life/private life. With integration into society, gender because it's a facet of social life, impacts the entire social group. Starts influencing interaction with others, requires public discourse and debate, very unlike sexaul orientation.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor on sports: Biological differences between men and women in sports. Endangers females in sports especially leaving out the idea of fairness and just speaking to physical issues. It's very much a recent issue. Dividing line is 2012 onset of social media, when adult transition mostly adult men transitioning, can't think of an individual prior to that of seeking participation in contact sports. If anything bio males would have preferred to avoid these kinds of activities the large-scale conversations FINDLAY objects. Says qualifications are insufficient for Cantor to comment on the participation of male-bodied people in sports. Bastow reads from ruling of the panel. FINDLAY: Has no qualification to comment on transwomen participating in sports. Bastow: Cantor is qualified to comment on hormonal differences and impacts and social impacts Panel is taking a moment to deliberate.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
why am I so interested in this topic asn speaking publicly? In 2008 my brother came out as trans in his 30s. Adult-Onset heterosexual male. no history of cross-sex identification. But history of other MH issues, including signs consistent with personality disorder and autism five 1/2 years ago I was alienated from my daughter by an affirming teacher and her mother (from whom I was divorced already for a number of years) My daughter has since medicalized, and recently changed from he/him pronouns to they/them.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
FINDLAY objects again about Cantor speaking on sports. Bastow moves Cantor on to regret from medicalized transitions and detransition Cantor: With adults, the changes that I've noticed with adults, the AGP pattern continues to be present. Things have become more ambiguous 18-20 years old not resembling adult features of transition the 18-20 are not representative of adult type and is a new phenomenon Brand new is Rapid Onset Type clustering of cases leading to the theory that a lot of adolescents cases fit the theory of social contagion... Outlines the susceptibility to social contagion... Socially Mediated Contagion online and occur in social clusters not in random isolated as in AGP and child onset
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: if we are to use medical interventions we must rule out that this is a social contagion. Causation vs Correlation Is GD in ROGD the result of other mental health issues, or the other way around people are using threats of sui--de and threats of threats. Suic--de ideation and sui--de are different. Death, sudden event by self, is mostly male, middle-age. Suicidality is a cry for help, significant and important, but is not an early stage of what will lead to death. exaggerated emotional blackmail. emotional manipulation in an unhealthy social interaction. Giving in is not in the interest of the person. begets still more demands and doesn't held deal with the distress. People are taking such threats at face value and referring to sex-changing kids and lifesaving. No redux of rates of suicice and sewercidality after transition, they stay elevated after transitions

Cantor: best treatment is fulsome comprehensive mental health assessment and support PRIOR to any medical transition Note: Today FINDLAY is objecting on "leading questions" and unlike last week, she is being recognized by opposing counsel for fair objections. Bastow is rephrasing questions
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: sexual minority stress is theoretically an interpretation for an increase in suicidality though it is not the only or the best explanation of possibilities. no controlled studies to give the most simple and straightforward explanation.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: the kids who are most susceptible to this kind of social influence. Both GD and suic--lity are more likely caused by the same influences. ie social media Best course of action is psychotherapy
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: the ethically appropriate course is to start with the intervention that causes the least amount of physical impact, ie psychotherapy, and is the most ethical intervention. We have no idea what is medically necessary... FINDLAY: objects to discussion of social media and social media influence. it looked like a member of the panel face-palmed and shook her head. FINDLAY: pushes her objection... note this is quite the non-sequitur, but trying to limit testimony. says he offers no expertise to speak to social media impacts. Bastow: not sure we need an expert to tell us Social Media has had an impact on the world we live in. Panel recesses for afternoon break
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Amy Hamm hearings resume: Back on the record with testimony of @JamesCantorPhD For the record: #IStandWithAmyHamm Panel rules Cantor is permitted to speak to role of social media in this case. FINDLAY was overruled. Bastow asks for "Minority Stress" definition Cantor: set of additional stressors over that of mainstream society and causes poorer mental health issues. It is a legit hypothesis at an individual level but no evidence in science is present or available for Adolescent onset of GD. We are not seeing stresses resolving after medicalization - label is used as a panacea explanation is it being used as an emotional blackmail or manipulation
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: it is a violation of medical ethics when we cannot rule out the possibilities that MH improvements may be attributable to other causes besides treatment. We have a number of confounding factors (4) that may be giving indications that a hypothesis is is correct when it is not. Minority stress, once once starts controlling for other factors, don't have high quality studies to rule conclusions out. we can't make the conclusions that medical transition is the appropriate preventative for suicidal ideation due to minority stress. Bastow: very tolerant Sweden shows 19x higher suicide rates for post-transition people, lack of strong association between suicidality and transition. WPATH conceded that transition does not help to alleviate suicidality
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor on Borderline PD (personality disorder): has many different symptoms, based on a checklist #4 and #6 for diagnosis DSM #4 Repeated suicidal ideation and fantasies #6 unstable identity It's very easy for unstable identity to be confused with gender dysphoria. Very common for Suicidality in borderline PD. BPD is more common in females, teen onset, same sex ratio, same cohort, similar features to group that meets criteria that happens to match what people are seeing on social media wrt gender dysphoria.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
It's hard to imagine the panel might conclude that @preta_6 's public statements might be ruled inappropriate. @JamesCantorPhD raises so many evidenced-based inconsistencies in the facile narrative of the social media that the rainbow activists push so abusively that if the panel rules against Hamm, it really is evidence we're hopelessly corrupted by institutional capture.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: defining trauma in it's actual physical impact terms to the diluted or eroded meaning of the terms like "harms." Histrionic filters use the most evocative language possible to describe situations and circumstances. People with minor or imagined slights might use these things as claims to trauma and harm. People's explanations are being taken at face value. Fashionable to not ask questions and to accept people's explanations at face value.
@ShannonBDouglas - Shannon B - Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Co-Host
Cantor: trigger warnings might be doing more harms than helping. After a generation of experimenting with these things, it appears that it trigger warnings concretize one's sense of victims Bastow pivots to misgendering, nice move Cantor: there is a subset of people driven by attention-seeking... challenging it (misgendering) or using the opportunity to attract attention as a expert to which others must defer to give attention to the seeker Cantor: Trigger Warnings and Misgendering taboos make the people more sensitive, moving people away from pro-social integration & more sensitive to slights Recommendations: Learn the skills to rise above appearances.

Vivek Ramaswamy's Controversial Stance on Transgender Identity Vivek Ramaswamy made a bold and controversial statement, calling transgenderism, especially in kids, a mental health disorder. The backlash was swift and fierce, with many arguing that Ramaswamy's views are out of touch with the medical community. In the past, the diagnostic manuals of the World Health Organization and American Psychiatric Association contained language that considered transgenderism to be a disorder. But, in the last decade, these manuals have been updated to clarify that being transgender is not a mental illness. Ramaswamy's stance on transgender issues positions him on the far right of the political spectrum, potentially alienating moderate voters. Moreover, his views further complicate the Republican Party's efforts to present a unified front as they navigate a challenging political landscape. I agree with what Vivek says here in the video. Do you?

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids. They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex." The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️ "Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.” They link to MANY studies on their site: https://doctorsprotectingchildren.org

Insane... Jordan Peterson about C40 Consortium agenda: "This is a consortium of some of the 40 largest cities on the globe, all allied together at the level local municipal government who are literally pursuing an agenda that includes no more than 3 articles of clothing per citizen per year. A 95% (reduction) in private car ownership which is why we're all being encouraged to produce the electric cars that we won't have enough electricity to run anyways because you don't need electricity if you actually don't get to own a car. And if the goal is 95% reduction in private automobile ownership then it doesn't matter if there's no damn grid. 1 short haul flight per person every 3 years which will completely obviously decimate the entire travel industry plus all of the tourism industry that Europe depends on absolutely in all possible manners. And then overall although this isn't directly from the c-40, the fundamental goal of something approximating an 85% reduction in Western living standards which is the calculation of the green virtuous globalist utopians, as to what's necessary in order for us to inhabit a green planet. And so all of this means not only are the bureaucrats who are using this get out of jail free card to advance their careers and the conspiratorialists who are radically left using it explicitly as an agenda. It also means that the bloody radical leftists are 100% willing to sacrifice the working class and the poor to their ambition and their green agenda." Source: Jordan B. Peterson (YouTube)

@ChildrensHD - Children’s Health Defense
🚨 CONTENT WARNING: Did you know that transgender surgery on children began in the 1960s? And that its pioneer was a staff member of @JohnsHopkins who was later discovered to be a child abuser? Background: Bruce Reimer was the elder of infant twin boys born in 1965. When Bruce was seven or eight months old, his parents Janet and Ron had him circumcised. The physician botched the procedure and the infant's penis was burned off. Bruce’s parents Janet and Ron then approached John Money, a professor of pediatrics and medical psychology at Johns Hopkins University, to inquire whether Money’s recently published theories on “gender roles” and “sexual orientation” — both new terms invented by Money — might provide some help for their injured son. Money told them, in short, that the answer was to raise their injured son as a girl. They proceeded to have Bruce castrated, administered feminizing hormones, and brought in for office visits to Money throughout childhood wherein “therapies” were given to Bruce that involved pornography and “sexual rehearsal play” with his twin brother. At the age of 13, Bruce (who’d been called “Brenda” since infancy) was so distraught that his local psychotherapist insisted that his parents tell him the truth about himself. As soon as Bruce learned the truth, he insisted on living as a male, and even re-named himself “David” (as in David-against-Goliath). Decades later as an adult, David publicly revealed what happened to him in childhood. Several books and articles were published about his testimony — a comprehensive list is available from the Intersex Society of North America: https://isna.org/faq/reimer/. Sadly, David’s story came to an end when he committed suicide at the age of 38. No one knows these kinds of stories better than @Miriam_Grossman, M.D., a 40-year child psychiatrist who encounters gender dysphoria as the dominant complaint at her busy practice.

Big Pharma doesn't want you to know him: Meet Gabor Mate. This retired physician says Cancer, ADHD & Addiction are rooted in Childhood Trauma—not genetics. Here are his 6 principles for healing Trauma & Disease naturally: 🧵 https://t.co/rFyiZJ1nLY
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
1. Modern medicine is flawed. Modern medicine treats disease as physical, but emerging science shows that the root causes are often psycho-emotional. Despite this, the medical system still ignores the role of emotions and stress in disease. They only focus on treating the physical symptoms.
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
Dr. Maté has criticized modern medicine in several key ways: • Mind-body separation • Overprescription of drugs • Prioritization of profits over science • Ignoring trauma as the root cause of disease • Neglecting social and environmental stressors
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
2. A toxic culture. Maté argues that mental health "problems" are the result of a toxic culture. They are not your fault. What we consider "normal" in our culture is often unhealthy and contributes to physical and mental health issues on a mass scale. https://t.co/fYfpbPzXs4
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
3. Emotional suppression = Disease. Chronic stress and unresolved trauma have been linked to the development of chronic diseases by: • Altering hormone levels • Weakening the immune system • Disrupting normal cell regulation • Creating an internal environment conducive to cancer growth
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
4. Mind-Body as a Unified System. Gabor Maté advocates for an integrated approach. He recognizes that mental and emotional well-being is inseparable from physical health. He draws on research in neuroscience, psychology, and immunology to argue that thoughts and emotions directly influence biological processes. [ for further study ↓ ]
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
5. Holistic healing Practices: Maté advocates for deeper forms of therapy such as: • Somatic Experiencing • Compassionate inquiry • Psychedelic-assisted therapy https://t.co/jmiyxJAmRi
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
6. Emotions as medicine. The human nervous system is designed to heal itself. Even after years of trauma and stress healing is still possible. Mate believes healing starts with compassion, it causes the nervous system to relax and promotes beneficial healing chemicals. https://t.co/w26miBVdQo
@TheSelfLab - The Self Lab 📚
We all have old wounds that fester if we don't take the time to heal. Understanding the mind-body connection will help you unlock the healing mechanism within. Healing is more available than ever before...

"Children Are Being Preyed Upon...Transgender Ideology Is Based In Fraud." Dr Sheila Furey, Child Psychiatrist "It Isn't Medical Based. It Isn't Scientifically Based. It's A Trillion Dollar Industry That seeks To Fast Track Transgender Drugs & Surgery Onto Our Most Vulnerable." Ideas being pushed on kids today didn’t come from biology — they came from adults with agendas. A child doesn’t suddenly believe they’re in the “wrong body” without someone planting that idea. Once they repeat it out loud, there’s a whole system ready with pills, blockers & surgeries — and big money behind it. Blocking healthy development isn’t health care. It’s a pipeline. And children deserve better. Well before a child learns the difference between adjectives & verbs, activists in many government schools are teaching their pre-K students lessons on transgender pronouns—pronouns like ‘ze’ and ‘zir.’ Public libraries host ‘drag queen story time’ for children of all ages. Teachers are sharing their own intimate sexual encounter stories & openly dressing as the opposite sex in front of their students. It is dangerous & destructive to coerce & push children, whose minds are still developing, to make such life-altering decisions at such young ages – especially since 90% of children who experience gender confusion, no longer hold that view by the time they are 18...if loved & allowed to develop on their own without medical interventions. Many gender-confused children also suffer from mental health issues. Children who identify as transgender are up to 13 times more likely to have ADHD, depression or anxiety than non-transgender children. A study out of the United Kingdom found that 35% of the children who received gender treatment had moderate or severe autism. Many European countries have restricted the use of hormone treatments & surgeries on children. Most notably, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service shut down its transgender youth treatment center, the Tavistock Clinic, after an investigation revealed that the clinic had put young people “at considerable risk” of long-term mental distress. Activists push parents to give their children “gender-affirming care,” including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones & surgeries. Often with the threat & coercion statement...if you don't, you will have a dead son/daughter. These drugs and surgeries can inflict irreparable harm on children. Puberty blockers are hormone-based injections or implants given to children as young as 8 years old to delay the onset of puberty. Gonadotropin, the hormone used in puberty blockers, is the same hormone used to chemically castrate sex offenders. It can leave children with diminished bone density and harm their future fertility. Activists claim that “gender affirming care” improves the mental health of children with gender confusion. However, a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry found that there is no reduction in mental health issues following hormone treatments or sex-reassignment surgeries. Cross-sex hormones begin to transition children to appear more like the other gender. Boys take estrogen, which can cause infertility, blood clots & heart problems. Girls take testosterone, which can also cause infertility, male-pattern baldness & high blood pressure. Adults have given cross-sex hormones to children as young as 13 years old. Sex-reassignment surgeries, including mastectomies, phalloplasty & vaginoplasty are irreversible. They can result in infertility & loss of sexual function. Activists have advocated for 15-year-old girls to access double mastectomies & 17-year-old boys to receive vaginoplasties. American parents have struggled to protect their children from these radical procedures. Parents in some states can lose custody of their children for refusing to abide by the transgender ideology. In Oregon, children as young as 15 years old can receive Medicaid-funded hormone treatments without their parents’ consent. 👇Sexualization Of Children Destroys Lives👇 https://thenewamerican.com/video/dr-sheila-furey-sexualization-of-children-destroys-lives-morality-and-america/ 👇A Psychiatrist Perspective On Transgenderism👇 https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/the-feds1/episodes/47--Dr--Sheila-Furey-A-Psychiatrists-Perspective-on-Covid-and-Transgenderism-e2m4vui/a-abehvk8 👇Evidence Over Ideology👇 https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2024/09/96005/ Speaker: Dr Sheila Furey, MD Video: @Wellness_Radar
