LIFE LONG SIDE EFFECTS OF PUBERTY BLOCKERS⬇️ How come nobody talks about them? “…Yet the evidence also shows that nearly all children whose gender dysphoria is treated with puberty blockers to ‘buy time’ will proceed to take cross-sex hormones and seek medical interventions…

Yes, there is a cost to putting kids on Puberty Blockers. For example: - Bone density growth (on average) flatlines - "The teen’s bone density plummeted — as much as 15% in some bones — from average levels to the range of osteoporosis, a condition of weakened bones."

1./ The truth about Jazz I've written in @spikedonline about Jazz Jennings who the trans lobby claims is an icon. But his medicalisation has left Jazz sterile, mutilated and unable to have a sex life. Jazz isn't an icon of our era. He's a victim 1 of /11 https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/08/20/the-tragedy-of-jazz-jennings/
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
2./ Jazz is just one of hundreds of victims of the UK lobby group Mermaids whom Jazz's mother first consulted. She then took Jazz to see Marilyn Volker, a therapist who had been a sex surrogate. She had sex with her clients, and even married one of them. World class care, eh? https://t.co/UnqU46mZ4D
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
3./ Could Jazz's story have been a grift from the start? I stumbled upon this clip where Jazz introduces himself using his original name, Jaron, 2 years after he was supposed to have socially transitioned. Then he looks at the person who's filming as if he's being corrected. https://t.co/JBNUZ8CAkE
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
4./ Jaron then says, "You can call me Jazz". It's almost as if the boy is being coached and isn't suffering from what his mother described as traumatic gender dysphoria. Or at least could have easily overcome it. Is the truth Jaron was just an effeminate little boy all along?
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
5./ At a conference in 1998 a Mermaids speaker admitted only a third of children exhibiting gender dysphoria "will grow up to be transgendered adults". Over a half would be gay, she said. And that was 25 years ago, before trans became the cause du jour! gender.org.uk/conf/1998/merm…
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
6./ Once puberty blockers became available Mermaids became Britain's foremost campaigners for their use. But if only a third of kids with dysphoria will become trans adults, two thirds of the kids who get medicalised are not receiving any so-called "benefit" from blockers.
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
7./ Even those who may become "trans" are being harmed. The cognitive impact of blockers appears to be major and irreversible. Young animals on blockers become more anxious and withdrawn. The Tavistock found they made gender dysphoria worse in many kids.
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
8./ Marci Bowers, Jazz's surgeon, has admitted that no child who goes on blockers at the "recommended time" will ever be able to sexually function properly or orgasm. Yep, thousands of kids are being deprived of their birthright to become a sexual adult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuwOx9YdHXY&t=103s
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
9./ In 'I Am Jazz' producers have tried to engineer romances but at 21, Jazz has had only 3 brief, Platonic "affairs", one kiss, and no sex. In the latest series this is what passes for passion: a stilted chat about how unique Jazz is. Jazz has been exiled to a sexual desert. https://t.co/yPvh2Gelcr
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
10./ Why are so-called "trans kids" put through all this pain? Do parents and doctors harbour a strange subconscious disgust for effeminate boys and butch girls? How else to explain the glee of Jazz's mum when she recalls how she threatened to "dilate" her teenage son's fauxgina. https://t.co/knpLtQrnP1
@TwisterFilm - Malcolm Clark
11./ Isn't it ironic that gay rights -which began as a movement championing sexual freedom- has been taken over by a cult that now sterilises mainly gay teenagers, robbing them of ...sexual freedom? It's one of the great political own-goals and for victims like Jazz ..a tragedy.

The Fluoride Deception - 2004 Fluoride is yet another example on an endless list of many showing how industry has completely captured regulatory institutions and allowed criminal corporations to poison our environment with an obscene toxin, and then manufacture science to tell us it's for our benefit and that we actually need it. The only argument justifying the use of fluoride in our water is that it prevents cavities (which it doesn't), and even if it slightly did, the risk of neurological damage and reduction in IQ far outweighs any of the supposed benefits. Adding it directly to the water that people cook with, shower with, or drink, is categorically insane on every level with the currently available science, and the fact that the water fluoridation practice still continues in most US cities is a testament to how negligent and malicious our government is, and how they don't actually care about the science, just the same as with vaccines. It's almost as if they want to lower intelligence and IQ because you become far easier to control and subjugate. Even worse, when you begin to understand the synergistic toxicities between aluminum and fluoride in the brain and the aluminofluoride complexes that can result from the continued exposure to both toxins, you begin to get an understanding of why there are so many people in the US who are still sleep walking into oblivion, staring at the shadows in the cave and thinking that they're real. So here are some facts from the Fluoride Action Network about it's neurotoxicity that hasn't stopped the government from poisoning our water supplies. 2006: The National Research Council published Fluoride in Drinking Water, the most authoritative review of fluoride’s toxicity. It stated unequivocally that “fluorides have the ability to interfere with the functions of the brain and the body.” 2012: A Harvard-funded meta-analysis found that children ingesting higher levels of fluoride tested an average 7 IQ points lower in 26 out of 27 studies. Most had higher fluoride concentrations than in U.S. water, but many had total exposures to fluoride no more than what millions of Americans receive 2017: A National Institutes of Health (NIH) - funded study3 found that every milligram per liter (1 mg/L) increase in fluoride in pregnant women’s urine – about the difference caused by ingestion of fluoridated water4 - was linked to a reduction of their children’s IQ by an average 5-6 points. Leonardo Trasande, MD, a leading physician unaffiliated with the study, said it “raises serious concerns about fluoride supplementation in water.” 2019: A Canadian study10 found a nearly 300% higher risk of ADHD for children living in fluoridated areas. This reinforced earlier studies linking fluoride to ADHD in Mexico (2018)11 and the U.S. (2015). 2019: Another NIH-funded study in Canada found that babies fed formula mixed with fluoridated water averaged 6 IQ points less than those mixed with non-fluoridated water. Losses of non-verbal IQ were even more serious, an average of 13 points 2023: The National Toxicology Program’s draft scientific review14 documented 52 out of 55 studies linked higher fluoride levels with lower IQs. Of the highest quality studies, 18 out of 19 found this link. “Several of the highest quality studies showing lower IQs in children were done in optimally fluoridated (0.7 mg/L) areas
@Inversionism - Inversionism
"The pattern that we saw, it typically is what we see with other neurotoxic agents that are well known to cause a hyper activity, or a memory problem, or an IQ problem. When I first presented the results of these studies, one of the individuals sitting and listening to the results said: Do you have any idea what you're saying? You're telling us were reducing the IQ of children? And basically I said yes" After she published these findings, her career was destroyed because the government stopped giving her grants for research and she was ridiculed in the press and elsewhere. This is how the game works at the highest levels of what people call science. If you don't adhere to what the cult wants published, you're gone, grant funding revoked, ridiculed by peers, shafted by other organizations, and left all by your lonesome trying to share your scientific findings to an empty room. Fauci has destroyed so many scientists with purely just controlling who gets funding and then what heor his lackeys say about you to the press. @DrJudyAMikovits is a great example of this, as is @DrWakefield If you ever publish work that says vaccine cause brain damage and autism, fluoride is reducing the IQ of children, EMF is bad for your health, or anything else that doesn't jive with the anti-human depopulation cult and industry captured institutions, your life as a scientist will be over. You all have to understand that they are INTENTIONALLY trying to destroy your kids. It's not negligence. It's not just profit motive or stupidity. At the highest levels where the funding and grants are dictated, it's actual malice with forethought. They've created a world where they only want the wise to survive. Do the right things to ensure your kids and yourself is protected, so you can retain a well functioning brain and earn that wisdom.

New study out of the UK confirms everything we have been saying for over a year. Puberty blockers are not only destroying children physically, but their mental health as well. The US must STOP prescribing them. It is criminal.

Massive news! The American Academy of Pediatrics and several leading doctors are being sued for civil conspiracy, fraud, and medical malpractice! Isabelle Ayala was just 14 years old and struggling with trauma, depression, cutting, and suicidal ideation when she was coerced onto testosterone by ideologically captured doctors who push childhood sex changes. Isabelle has suffered from vaginal atrophy from the extensive use of testosterone; she deals with excess facial and body hair; she struggles with compromised bone structure; she is unsure whether her fertility has been irreversibly compromised; she still has mental health issues and deals with episodes of anxiety and depression, further compounded by a sense of regret; and she has since contracted an autoimmune disease that only the males in her family have a history of.

Under the AAP’s so-called ‘gender-affirmative care’ model, the charlatans named in this lawsuit advocate for the immediate, unquestioned embrace of a child's chosen ‘gender identity.’ They also advocate for immediate ‘social transitioning’ of the child to the newly chosen gender identity, and encourage puberty blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones. Notably, at least four of the six members of the Committee including Defendants Dr. Rafferty, Dr. Forcier, Dr. Allen, and Dr. Sherer —worked at pediatric gender clinics that prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to patients as young as 10 and Instead of supporting the conclusions and recommendations contained in the policy statement with scientific evidence, they fraudulently and misleadingly cited evidence that did not support any of their conclusions and recommendations, and they knowingly misrepresented the known risks and dangers of some of the medical interventions the policy statement promoted.
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
At some point between January 2016 and October 2018, the Committee chose Defendant Dr. Rafferty — who was then only in his medical residency — to be the lead author for the ‘gender-affirmative care’ policy statement they envisioned. The Gender Policy Statement was alarming to many in the medical community, as it memorialized and institutionalized the radical personal beliefs and ideologies of its authors and visionaries, as opposed to proposing a treatment model based on cited scientific research and evidence. Indeed, the Gender Policy Statement has been described as "an extraordinary departure from the international medical consensus" (which was and is watchful waiting).
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
A particularly egregious misrepresentation, which is repeated multiple times in the Gender Policy Statement without even a citation is the contention that puberty blockers to treat gender diverse children are completely reversible and generally helpful to treat gender diverse youth. And Defendants have stated and continue to state the same fraudulent claim in their private practices as well as their public appearances and in the media. This is an entirely false and extremely dangerous misrepresentation to make and advocate to the public, particularly since the affected audience are children and adolescents (and their families). In truth, puberty blockers are known to impact children's bone density and can lead to early onset osteoporosis and decreased bone density. They can also impact a child's mental illness. In fact, on the package insert for Lupron, one of the most commonly prescribed puberty blockers, it lists ‘emotional instability’ as a side effect and warns to "[m]onitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment." Lupron has also been associated with and may be the cause of mood disorders, seizures, cognitive impairment, and sterility if the patient proceeds to take cross-sex hormones. Additionally, a leading expert on the subject noted in relation to a recent experimental trial of puberty blockers, "There was no statistically significant difference in psychosocial functioning between the group given blockers and the group given only psychological support. In addition, there is unpublished evidence that after a year on [puberty blockers] children reported greater self-harm, and the girls also experienced more behavioral and emotional problems and expressed greater dissatisfaction with their body so puberty blockers exacerbated gender dysphoria."
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
For three consecutive years, concerned AAP members, who became increasingly worried with what they were seeing in their practices with children suffering under the care being promoted by Defendants, brought official resolutions before the AAP challenging the Gender Policy Statement. Each time the AAP used procedural hurdles and even changed certain procedural rules to table and silence those resolutions. Furthermore, over the past almost two years, there have been six systematic reviews of the evidence surrounding "gender-affirming" medical treatments for children and adolescents (i.e., puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones) conducted by research teams across the globe, as advocated for by the Gender Policy Statement, and every single one of them has reached the conclusion that "the evidence for mental-health benefits of hormonal interventions for minors to be of low or very low certainty," whereas, "[b]y contrast, the risks are significant and include sterility, lifelong dependence on medication and the anguish of regret." Every systematic review has also contradicted the claims that non-medical intervention for gender diverse youth leads to increased suicides another claim pushed by the Gender Policy Statement. "There is no reliable evidence to suggest that hormonal transition is an effective suicide-prevention measure."

Isabelle was sexually assaulted at the age of 7, and experienced early onset-puberty at age 8. Still haunted from the sexual trauma, and experiencing natural female discomfort, insecurities, and anxiety with puberty, she starting cutting herself at 11. Then came social media interactions which introduced Isabelle to the concept of being "trans," an idea that immediately gained traction in her mind since Isabelle's life experiences to that point taught her that to be a woman is to be vulnerable. Within months, to distance herself from the trauma she endured as a young girl, Isabelle began to identify as a boy amongst her group of close friends.
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
During Isabelle's initial visit with Dr. Rafferty, she in her deeply compromised mental state told him that her growing suicidality was related to her level of discomfort with her natal sex and her inability to transition due primarily to her mother's refusal. She was convinced that getting rid of her secondary sex characteristics, dissociating herself from the vulnerable female she was when she was attacked at seven years old, and becoming a boy was the only way to treat her mental health struggles. At this first visit with Dr. Rafferty, Isabelle made the following requests of Dr. Rafferty: ▪️“I would like to start on testosterone but my mother said she would not let me until I am an adult and she no longer has any say." ▪️“I want everything to transition towards a more masculine expression." ▪️“I would like to switch bodies with a boy if I could." ▪️“I would like a penis.” At that same meeting, however, Isabelle also shared with Dr. Rafferty a major hesitation regarding her desire to medically transition, namely, "that [she] might want to have a biological child." She further explained, "giving birth really fascinates me and I think it is a beautiful thing," reflecting the fact that even at 14 years old she could sense the unique bond between a mother and a child. Even so, in a matter of minutes and based substantially, if not exclusively, on the endorsements of Isabelle set forth above, Dr. Rafferty concluded that Isabelle "would benefit [from] and meets criteria to consider hormonal transition," noting only a single "concern," namely "parental (maternal) refusal." Dr. Rafferty formed these conclusions in spite of the fact that Isabelle was at the moment undergoing inpatient mental health evaluation and treatment, and the fact that Isabelle had expressed desire to give birth to a child someday.
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Shortly after starting on testosterone, Isabelle reported "profound depression with intermittent suicidal ideation." Dr. Jason Rafferty increased her dose! 6 months in, she reported ongoing depression. She then saw Dr. Michelle Forcier (the “Do chickens cry?” lady from “What is a Woman?”) Isabelle told Dr. Forcier how her anxiety and depression had been worsening, but Forcier did nothing to slow down Isabelle’s testosterone use. The next month, Isabelle attempted suicide.
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
With the intent that Isabelle and her parents would rely on such representations and would "consent" to starting a regiment of cross-sex hormones, each of the Fraud Defendants falsely represented that cross-sex hormone therapy was the only treatment option available to Isabelle to effectively treat her gender dysphoria, as well as her anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidality. They further knowingly fraudulently represented that cross-sex hormone treatment was the settled medical consensus and was based on sufficient and valid scientific evidence for treating patients such as herself. The Fraud Defendants compounded these fraudulent misrepresentations and coerced Isabelle's mother into giving her "consent" by stating that if Isabelle did not start cross-sex hormone therapy, she would commit suicide.
@BillboardChris - Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Separate and distinct from their duties owed to Isabelle under the general standard of care, Malpractice Defendants owed a duty to fully address the known risks associated with the invasive “gender-affirming” treatments they pushed and to discuss all viable alternatives to such procedures. Malpractice Defendants each breached this duty to provide and obtain informed consent by failing to address the risks of cross-sex hormone treatment (and indeed actually downplaying/minimizing known risks) and by failing to discuss or even present any other alternative treatments. Because the Malpractice Defendants failed to provide the information necessary for informed consent and failed to discuss the viable, non-invasive alternatives to the “gender- affirming” treatments, Isabelle and her parents were misled into agreeing to take testosterone, which failed to address her underlying issues, and Isabelle now suffers from irreversible changes to her body.

This study (Oct 2022) used high-res microscopy to investigate Covid’s effect on the brain in monkeys. 7 days post-infection, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in the olfactory cortex & connected areas, accompanied by neuroinflammation & neuronal damage. 🔗 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211124722014346

Myelin and Covid I often post high-magnification photos, so sometimes it is hard (even for me in the microscope) to have an idea of the big picture of the damage that a microorganism like #SARSCoV2 can cause in the brain. The photos below are a comparison of the same region in the brain, with staining for degraded myelin only (dgMBP, 🟢), activated microglia (HLA-Dr, 🔴), and nuclei (dapi, 🔵). If the virus is able to infect neurons, like we think SARS-CoV-2 is, we often see a faster viral spread by using axonal transport. The virus basically hijacks the neuronal machinery for fast neural propagation and uses it to spread viral particles faster and to more brain regions. Viruses can destroy the axons; consequently, the myelin surrounding it shifts from healthy to degraded. It is suggested that such degenerative changes lead to cognitive decline because they cause changes in conduction velocity, disrupting neuronal circuits and contributing to neuronal loss. But besides that, we see that degraded myelin only attracts more activated microglia for the region, contributing to more neuroinflammatory responses in this region and others. But we also see that it is really hard to keep these events contained only to the olfactory cortex. I strongly believe all these neuroinflammatory responses contribute to "brain fog" and #LongCovid. These processes can start very fast but can be very slow for the brain's immune system to clean up the mess after it. #neuroscience #CovidIsntOver

THE WPATH FILES Advocates of gender-affirming care say it’s evidence-based. But now, newly released internal files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) prove that the practice of transgender medicine is neither scientific nor medical. American Medical Association, The Endocrine Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and thousands of doctors worldwide rely on WPATH. It is considered the leading global authority on gender medicine. And yet WPATH’s internal files, which include written discussions and a video, reveal that its members know they are creating victims and not getting “informed consent.” Victims include a 10-year-old girl, a 13-year-old developmentally delayed adolescent, and individuals suffering from schizophrenia and other serious mental illnesses. The injuries described in the WPATH Files include sterilization, loss of sexual function, liver tumors, and death. WPATH members indicate repeatedly that they know that many children and their parents don’t understand the effects that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries will have on their bodies. And yet, they continue to perform and advocate for gender medicine. The WPATH Files prove that gender medicine is comprised of unregulated and pseudoscientific experiments on children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults. It will go down as one of the worst medical scandals in history. https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/wpath-files

Why I Am Publishing WPATH Files And How I Got Them The written WPATH Files come from WPATH’s member discussion forum, which runs on software provided by DocMatter. Ninety seconds of the 82-minute video was made public last year. We are making the full video available for the first time. One or more people gave me the WPATH Files, and my colleagues and I attempted to summarize them as a series of articles. We quickly realized the topic was too sensitive, complex, and large to be dealt with as a work of journalism, and we moved the project to the research institute I founded seven years ago, Environmental Progress (EP). The Files are authentic. We redacted most names and left only those individuals who are leading gender medicine practitioners to whom we sent “right-of-reply” emails. We know WPATH members discussed our emails internally. No WPATH leader or member has denied that the Files are anything other than what they appear to be. EP is publishing a 70-page report to provide context for the 170 pages of WPATH Files. Mia Hughes is the author of the report. It and accompanying summary materials can be downloaded at the link below. That link also provides a link to the full WPATH video. What follows are simply a few highlights. People with a serious interest in the topic should read the report and all the files: https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/wpath-files

Part I: Children and Adolescents “We're explaining things to people who haven't even had biology in high school…” “I think the thing you have to remember about kids is that we're often explaining these sorts of things to people who haven't even had biology in high school yet,” says Dan Metzger, an endocrinologist. “The 14-year-olds, you just... It's like talking [about] diabetic complications with a 14-year-old. They don't care. They're not going to die. They're going to live forever, right? So I think when we're doing informed consent, that's still a big lacuna.”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“14 year old trans female who started transition since she was 4… wants to have Gender Affirming Surgery”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“I’ve recently received questions from an [‘Assigned Female At Birth’] pre-menarche 10 y/o patient about whether blockers will ‘stunt’ his growth…”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“It is very difficult to ask that they wait until age 16...”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
A “16 y/o patient…found to have two liver masses… the likely offending agents were the hormones…” The problem is that drugs can cause tumors, even, apparently, in people as young as 16 years old.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“To what degree… providers discuss actual rates of surgical complications… (e.g., pain…additional surgeries, necrotic tissue, infection, hematomas…” Many young patients experiencing gender distress do not appear to understand that they may suffer serious consequences from long-term hormone use and genital surgery.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“I feel the best time for surgery in the U.S. is the summer before their last year of high school.” Despite the widespread and growing expression of concern within the WPATH Files over the negative side effects of gender medicine, WPATH members urge that irreversible surgeries take place when adolescents are just 16 or 17 years old.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“Most of the kids are nowhere in any kind of brain space to really talk about it seriously.” One WPATH member says, “It's out of their developmental range sometimes to understand the extent to which some of these medical interventions are impacting them.” “We try to talk about it, but most of the kids are nowhere in any kind of a brain space to really, really, really talk about it seriously.”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
Many Parents Don’t Understand What Will Happen To Their Children “I try to kind of do whatever I can to help them understand best they, best I can,” says a therapist. “But what really disturbs me is when the parents can't tell me what they need to know about a medical intervention that apparently they signed off for."
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“In a developmentally delayed 13yo… what is the ethical approach?” The situation of obtaining informed consent is complicated further when the adolescents are also developmentally delayed and, in the case below, “may not reach the emotional and cognitive developmental bar set” by WPATH’s already very low standards of care.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“Oh, the dog isn’t doing it for you?” Many gender medicine victims are filled with regret that they were sterilized. Nobody knows this more than the doctors who mistreated them. At times, their response to such regret appears callous. “I follow a lot of kids into their mid twenties, I'm always like, ‘Oh, the dog isn't doing it for you, right?’ They're like, ‘No, I just found this wonderful partner and now we want kids. So you know, it doesn't surprise me.”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“I’m unaware of an individual claiming ability to orgasm when they were blocked at Tanner 2.” Many gender medicine patients lose sexual function, including experiencing orgasm. As such, they are not only deprived of sexual pleasure, they are significantly undermining their ability to form long-lasting romantic relationships. It’s clear from the Files that even many people within gender medicine do not understand this. On January 14, 2022, the surgeon and President of WPATH, Marci Bowers, explained this reality in a low-key way. Seven days later, a WPATH member asked Bowers to clarify.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“After 8-10 years of [testosterone, they] developed hepatocarcinomas… died a couple of months after.” For some gender medicine patients, there are fates worse than both sterility and loss of sexual function.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
Part II: Mental Illness “A Patient Who Became Dangerous” On an unknown date, a San Francisco-based surgeon named Thomas Satterwhite posted an urgent new message to WPATH’s internal message board. “I had a patient who became dangerous/threatening to our care team post-op,” he wrote, “which ultimately ended in a restraining order.” Satterwhite explained that “This patient had undiagnosed mood disorders that did not surface until post-op, after which, she travelled around the country to find other surgeons to provide care.” It’s a chilling story, and one that raises many questions about the ethics and legality of gender-affirming medicine. At the top of that list is how did Satterwhite and his colleagues miss the fact that the person they operated upon had a serious psychiatric condition? But Satterwhite was focused on a more prosaic question: What was the best “medicolegal” way that he could warn other doctors and health care providers that his former patient was “potentially dangerous”? There is no evidence in the WPATH Files, nor elsewhere, that the experience shook Satterwhite enough to question whether gender-affirming care is, in reality, committed to the maxim, “First, do no harm.”

Our Awful History Of Mistreating Mental Illness Nations have struggled to care properly for people with mental illness and psychiatric disorders for centuries. After every past scandal, we pledge to do better next time, relying more on science than ideology. Readers of the WPATH Files may walk away with the sense that we have learned nothing. Repeatedly throughout the WPATH Files, we see gender medicine practitioners waive away evidence that mental illnesses and psychiatric disorders have been misdiagnosed as gender dysphoria. The WPATH Files are a picture of people single-mindedly committed to the hammer of gender medicine and thus seeing every patient who comes to them as a nail. https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/wpath-files

“Disordered eating,” “purposeful malnutrition,” and a “high prevalence of eating disorders” A therapist raises concerns in a message about the age of a patient. “I have an incoming 13yo (soon to be 14 yo)... I was under the impression that is more the exception to start for kids under 16, not the norm…” But the person has another piece of troubling information. “A possible complication,” the therapist warns, is that it “sounds like there is some purposeful malnutrition and restrictive eating for ‘a more non-binary appearance.’” The chief medical officer of a health center in Texas chimed in that the therapist had best hurry the 13-year-old teenager along the gender-affirming path because “waiting appears to increase the rate of suicide,” which is one of several pseudoscientific myths repeated within the WPATH Files.

@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“If an individual patient feels that they made a mistake… be careful with that not letting that change the way others receive care.” At times, WPATH members speak of the growing number of “detransitioners” who regret gender medicine. Some gender medicine practitioners express less concern for the detransitioners than for the threat they may pose to gender medicine.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“Patients need to own and take active responsibility for medical decisions, especially those that have potentially permanent effects." There is evidence within the WPATH Files of WPATH members, as well as its president, Marci Bowers, blaming their victims.
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“Those conversations can be ongoing even after the intervention has occurred.” Readers of the WPATH Files may be struck, as we were, by how flexible WPATH members were in rationalizing their mistreatments. Faced with rising amounts of regret and detransition, WPATH members describe what’s happening as a “gender journey” not a single “transition.” And faced with their own failure to achieve informed consent, WPATH members re-frame it as a “process,” and an “on-going conversation.” “...informed consent [is a]... process... not one conversation at one point in time ... those conversations don't have to stop once the Medicaid and intervention has been started. Those conversations can be ongoing even after the intervention has occurred.”
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
“What has been currently happening is, frankly, not what we need to be doing, ethically.” As we saw above, many WPATH members waive away the evidence of medical mistreatment. But others appear genuinely concerned by the lack of informed consent. A therapist describes talking to parents after they meet with a medical doctor. “I would go in, and say, ‘Okay, so tell me what you learned.’ They would be like, ‘We have no idea what they were talking about.’ “Part of it is that they feel less deferential to the kind of doctor I am than the kind of doctor the medical doctor is. "And because they really are seeking the care, they're just going to say they know when they really aren't picking up on what's happening. “And so I think the more we can normalize that it is okay to not get this right away, that it is okay to have questions, is, you know, the more we're going to actually do a real informed consent process than what I think has been currently happening and that I think is, frankly, not what we need to be doing ethically.” You can tell that her comment had an impact from the long and awkward pause that followed. /END

For years, experts said we should give drugs and surgeries to kids confused about their gender. Given the sterility, loss of sexual function, and regret, that's been changing. Now, a French Senate report calls it “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine."

The French Senate report urges a ban on surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones (i.e., testosterone for girls and estrogen for boys). Here's the full list of recommendations (translated using Google) 1. Impose the evaluation and diagnosis of the transidentity of minors by local child psychiatry teams (CMP, child psychiatry services, Adolescent Center, CMPP, city child psychiatrists, etc.). 2. In the presence of psychopathological and/or neurodevelopmental disorders, provide, as a first intention, psychiatric and/or psychotherapeutic care for the child and his family. 3. If gender-related distress has persisted since early childhood, and the young person does not present any associated major psychopathological disorder, in this situation alone, refer the minor to a service specializing in gender incongruence, like this which is practiced in several northern European countries. 4. Ban the prescription of puberty blockers to minors for the indication of gender dysphoria. (For young people currently under treatment, this will not be interrupted. At the time of prescribing cross-hormones (if this remains desired): reassessment of the psychological state of the young person, their care and their consent.) 5. Ban so-called sex reassignment surgery on minors. Furthermore, recent contributions from neuroscience on the subject of brain maturity show that it continues to evolve up to the age of 25, calling for caution for any surgical “ reassignment ” before this age. 6. Ban the prescription and administration of cross hormones to all minors. 7. Provide specific reception at the hospital for people who wish to detransition and promote research into the quality of care to be provided to them. 8. Advocate, in the field of research, the systematic review of data, based on evidence, following the example of EBM (evidence based medicine) practices applied in medicine.

The French Senate report raises the same issue as raised by the WPATH Files: children aren't able to give "informed consent" to future sterility and loss of sexual function. — "The important question that arises is that of the age at which a minor is capable of consenting to these treatments, which have significant repercussions on their future sexual and emotional life. — "Today, a minor with gender issues can consult a dedicated center, a private or public hospital, or a non- specialist doctor in town, and be prescribed medication, without a marketing authorization (AMM), without precise rules being imposed at the national level. — "Several critical international studies highlight the adverse effects of puberty blockers, which have not been the subject of sufficient research into their long-term impacts. The reversibility of treatments does not seem as complete as prescribers claim. On the other hand, the side effects are well known. — Several experts interviewed considered that current treatment guidelines do not meet the standard of care required in the medico-legal field, particularly in terms of compliance with methodological standards. There is consensus in the medical community that treatment guidelines should be revised based on the results of systematic reviews of the evidence."
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
The French Senate report warns that diagnosing children with "gender dysphoria" results in the premature medicalization of their anxiety — "The diagnosis of 'gender dysphoria,' as shaped by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), seems to accelerate the journey of many adolescents in pubertal distress towards a medical transition, on the grounds that their feelings have diagnostic value, regardless of possible comorbidities, the influence of social networks or even that of peers."
@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger
The report notes that trans activists have stifled debate, undermined science, and inserted themselves in between parents and children in the name of preventing discrimination: — "In France, as abroad, it appears that the scientific and medical debate on the subject is tense. Under the cover of the necessary fight against discrimination and for the rights of minorities, certain associations attempt to impose in national and international bodies the principle of the self-determination of the child, to the detriment of parental authority and quality scientific evidence."

I just fell down a RABBIT HOLE. Tipper Gore, wife of Al, former Second Lady (?) in 1993 made it her platform for early mental health intervention for children. She was the mental health advisor to the White House healthcare reform task force, and pushed for early intervention with drugs for children. Anyone who was in school before this time period like I was can attest to there not being a mental health “crisis” like we have today. But after that time, what happened? There was a massive increase in prescriptions for children starting in 1994 and going through 2001, with a HUGE increase after 1999. In 1999, Tipper headlined a mental health summit where she expressed that early intervention was key. (She suffered from depression and took medication). 1999 was also when the first major school shooting in Columbine occurred. One of the shooters was taking Luvox, a psychotropic antidepressant. It’s the meds. And the Gores not only caused the climate hysteria, they’re responsible for the over medication of children. It’s. The. Meds.

We are now in the second generation of this crisis of over-medicating children. Parents who were put on meds as kids, from my observation, seem to think immediately that their kids also need to be on meds. This is a crisis. It’s the meds.

He proved unvaccinated kids were healthier. They revoked his license. Dr. Paul Thomas studied 3,324 children and found unvaccinated kids had FEWER doctor visits and BETTER health outcomes. Here’s what his data showed: Fever – 9.1× higher in vaccinated Ear Pain – 3.4× higher Otitis Media (Ear Infections) – 2.9× higher Conjunctivitis – 2.4× higher Eye Disorders (Other) – 1.8× higher Asthma – 5.2× higher Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) – 6.9× higher Sinusitis – 4.3× higher Breathing Issues – 2.9× higher Anemia – 5.5× higher Eczema – 4.5× higher Urticaria (Hives) – 2.1× higher Dermatitis – 1.4× higher Behavioral Issues – 4.1× higher Gastroenteritis – 4.7× higher Weight/Eating Disorders – 2.5× higher ADHD – 0 cases in unvaccinated group *Data based on how often children visited the doctor for each condition* Instead of investigating the findings, the Oregon Medical Board suspended Dr. Thomas’s license—just days after the study was published. Months later, the study was retracted. Dr. Paul Thomas isn’t the only one who faced swift punishment for publishing inconvenient science. Other doctors have faced similar consequences for exposing the same pattern. The question is: Why are doctors being punished simply for comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated kids? 🧵 THREAD

The information in this thread comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc. For all the sources and details, read the full 20,000-word report below: midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-dam…

The CDC deleted its vaccine injury database (VSD)—right before RFK Jr. could access it. Getting access to the VSD has been a goal of the vaccine safety community and one of the things RFK pledged to do if he ever assumed office. So rogue HHS employees literally erased the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) to block RFK Jr. from reviewing the data. That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s completely real. And really crazy. The only reason you would do that is if you have something to hide. So, what were they trying to hide?
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
This often-repeated line is true: Vaccines have never been properly tested. There has never been a true placebo-controlled trial of the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Yet this schedule is pushed on every child and parents who hesitate or ask questions are ridiculed. Why haven’t they been tested? Because withholding vaccines is considered “unethical” (even when there’s no proof they’re safe in the first place). So they can’t be tested. That’s the scam. Never mind the fact that it seems ethics is now missing from medicine altogether anyway…
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc Knowing all this and after what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be incredibly irresponsible to push ahead as we have been for years. We must ask, what has mass vaccination done to society? (See the full explanation here) https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-has-mass-vaccination
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
Why don’t doctors notice and speak out? Doctors who expose vaccine harm have lost everything. Dr. Paul Thomas published data comparing 2,763 vaccinated kids to 561 unvaccinated kids born into his practice. He plotted their total visits and found that unvaccinated kids were far healthier across the board. That’s BIG NEWS and something every parent needs to know. But what happened next? They revoked Dr. Thomas’ medical license.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊

@MidwesternDoc The data is out there, and @MidwesternDoc has the receipts. Check out the full write-up for more data from a homeschool survey, the Control Group survey, and more. midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-dam…
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
Mass vaccination may be the real cause of the chronic illness epidemic. Asthma. ADHD. Autism. Autoimmune disorders. They’ve all exploded and it’s been alongside the rapidly increasing vaccine schedule. The more shots a child receives, the sicker they become. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a pattern. And we have to pay attention!
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc What if autism is actually vaccine-induced brain damage? @MidwesternDoc lays out the case in this eye-opening article. • Encephalitis is a known vaccine injury • Autism symptoms overlap with mild encephalitis midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-dam…
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
A whistleblower once exposed the CDC altering data to hide vaccine-autism links. He confessed. But the media ignored it. The medical establishment ridiculed him. And the CDC buried all the evidence. Don’t underestimate how far they’ll go to protect the narrative. This is a billion-dollar scheme.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
During COVID, vaccine injuries were so widespread that they couldn’t cover it up. • 7% of recipients reported major side effects • Sudden deaths in young, healthy people • A huge spike in myocarditis, strokes, and neurological disorders Even the CDC’s own data showed mass harm.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
But they didn’t fix it. Instead they hid the data and they silenced discussion. The CDC’s “V-Safe” app quietly collected reports of injury from COVID vaccine recipients. And it revealed massive harm. But instead of sounding the alarm, officials published a summary that distorted the numbers to create an illusion of safety.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
They hoped no one noticed but people began connecting the dots, and what they found was terrifying. Vaccine-induced brain damage isn’t rare. It’s everywhere. The effects can be subtle, so we don’t even notice it’s happening. Things like emotional detachment, learning disorders, problems with impulsivity, and declining IQ. We’re living in a vaccinated society, and that doesn’t appear to be a good thing.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
This isn’t new. Every few decades, the same disaster strikes. A rushed vaccine hits the market, causes injury, gets covered up, and then everyone magically forgets and believes that vaccines can do no harm. It started with smallpox in 1798 and has repeated ever since. COVID-19 was just the latest.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
The ongoing rise in crime might be linked to vaccine injury. Historian Harris Coulter showed how post-vaccine encephalitis mimics the traits of violent criminals. These traits can include a lack of empathy, hypersexuality, sudden rage, and neurological tics. Vaccines like rabies, diphtheria, and DPT repeatedly caused encephalitis and even cranial nerve damage. Vaccines are quietly reshaping society in ways we can’t even begin to understand.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
It doesn’t help that doctors have been trained to ignore what’s right in front of them. The signs, like asymmetrical facial muscles, eye tracking glitches, stunted emotional development, are subtle and usually ignored. Those who dare to notice and get to the bottom of it are quickly labeled “anti-vax” and punished.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
All of this begs the question: What else are they hiding? There’s evidence that the HPV vaccine caused autoimmune disorders in 2.3% of trial participants. But Merck made billions, and the shot is still mandated. This isn’t about medicine. It’s marketing and profits. The victims are children, and hardly anyone seems to care. The marketing must be more like brainwashing.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
Did you know that the childhood vaccine schedule ballooned after Big Pharma got immunity? Weird, isn’t it? In 1986, Congress shielded vaccine makers from lawsuits. And ever since then, the number of childhood vaccines has exploded and continues to climb. Curiously, chronic disease rates have skyrocketed as well. And not one study has tested the full schedule for safety. Because that would be “immoral”. Giant eye roll.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
It’s not out of the question that way may be spending trillions treating vaccine injuries—without realizing it. Every illness they can’t explain (which is a lot of them).. Every behavioral disorder they normalize… Every drug they prescribe to mask symptoms (and create more)... Might be linked to the same root cause! And they’re making you pay for it. We’re stuck in a vicious cycle. We have to break out of it before it’s too late. This is absolutely not sustainable.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
So what happens now? What do we do? First, parents need to rise up and demand that no vaccine should ever be mandated. Next, it’s about awareness. Educate yourself—and make sure at least one other person learns the truth, too. The only way to end this nightmare is for the truth to come out—and for the public to finally take back control of their health.
@VigilantFox - The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc They say vaccine injury is “rare.” But the data clearly tells a very different story. And if even half of this is true, we’re not just facing a health crisis, we’re facing the biggest medical cover-up in history.

@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Ten years ago Thursday, the movement for gay and lesbian equality scored a victory that only a decade before had seemed unimaginable. We won equal rights to civil marriage in every state in the country. In 2020 came another stunning win. In a majority opinion written by one of President Trump’s nominees, Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court found that gay men, lesbians and transgender men and women are covered under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and protected from employer discrimination. In 2024, the Republican Party removed opposition to marriage equality from its platform, and the current Republican Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, is a married gay man with two children. Gay marriage is backed by around 70 percent of Americans, and discrimination against gay men, lesbians and transgender people is opposed by 80 percent. As civil rights victories go, it doesn’t get more decisive or comprehensive than this.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But a funny thing happened in the wake of these triumphs. Far from celebrating victory, defending the gains, staying vigilant, but winding down as a movement that had achieved its core objectives — including the end of H.I.V. in the United States as an unstoppable plague — gay and lesbian rights groups did the opposite. Swayed by the broader liberal shift to the “social justice” left, they radicalized.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
In 2023, the Human Rights Campaign @HRC, the largest gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights group in the country, declared a “state of emergency” for gay men, lesbians and transgender people — the first time in the organization’s existence. It had not declared a state of emergency when gay men were jailed for having sex in private, when the AIDS epidemic killed hundreds of thousands of gay men or when we faced a possible constitutional amendment banning marriage equality in 2004. In fact, we found out, this “emergency” was almost entirely in response to new state bills proposing restrictions on medical treatment for minors with gender dysphoria; bathroom and locker room bans; and transgender issues in school curricula and sports.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Nonetheless, the money has poured into gay, lesbian and transgender groups in the past decade. Charitable funding for such groups totaled $387 million in 2012, according to the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s Equitable Giving Lab. By 2021, it was $823 million. L.G.B.T.Q.+ organizations also saw their assets grow 76 percent from 2019 to 2021 — around double the size of their increase in donations. A group like @GLAAD — founded in 1985 to combat anti-gay media bias in the depths of the AIDS epidemic — saw its funding increase sixfold between 2014 and 2023. The Human Rights Campaign @HRC has also seen revenues soar in the past decade.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this huge increase in funding was no longer primarily about gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights, because almost all had already been won. It was instead about a new and radical gender revolution. Focused on ending what activists saw as the oppression of the sex binary, which some critical gender and queer theorists associated with “white supremacy,” they aimed to dissolve natural distinctions between men and women in society, to replace biological sex with “gender identity” in the law and culture, and to redefine homosexuality, in the process, not as a neutral fact of the human condition but as a liberating ideological “queerness” meant to subvert and “queer” language, culture and society in myriad different ways.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
The words gay and lesbian all but disappeared. L.G.B.T. became L.G.B.T.Q., then L.G.B.T.Q.+, and more letters and characters kept being added: L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ or 2S.L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ (to include intersex, asexual people and two-spirit Indigenous people). The plus sign referred to a seemingly infinite number of new niche identities, and, by some counts, more than 70 new “genders.” The point was that this is all one revolutionary, intersectional community of gender-diverse people, and intertwined with other left causes, from Black Lives Matter to Queers for Palestine.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
They needed a new banner for that. So the rainbow flag, invented back in 1978 at the request of Harvey Milk, was replaced over the last few years by a new “Progress” flag, representing intersectional oppression. Black and brown stripes were added to the rainbow — for Black and brown people (and the people lost during the AIDS crisis) — and pink, light blue and white for trans people. That flag now demarcates a place not simply friendly to all types of people, as the old rainbow flag did, but a place where anyone who does not subscribe to intersectional left ideology is unwelcome.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
“Queer” was a way of summing up the new regime, a clear sign that this really was a different movement than the gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights movement of the past. It’s a word that can easily trigger gay men over 40 who remember it as the last slur they once heard before being bashed in the head. But one of the striking aspects of the younger queer generation is their disdain for those who came before them.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
As I watched all this radical change, I wondered, was I just another old fart, shaking my fist at the sky, like every older generation known to man? Why not just accept that the next gay and lesbian generation has new ideas, has moved on, and old-timers like me should just move aside? And some of the changes are indeed welcome. The greater acceptance of trans people is a huge step forward for all of us. But then, as I told my friends (gay, trans and everyone else), I’d always believed this and always supported trans civil rights. I was glad when, five years ago, the Supreme Court gave transgender people civil rights protection in employment. I’ve also long lived in a gay world that is skewed left, and, along with my fellow gay non-lefties, I’ve long made my peace with it, or tried to.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this new ideology, I believed, was different. Like many gays and lesbians — and a majority of everybody else — I simply didn’t buy it. I didn’t and don’t believe that being a man or a woman has nothing to do with biology. My sexual orientation is based on a biological distinction between men and women: I’m attracted to the former and not to the latter. And now I was supposed to believe the difference didn’t exist? I’m more than happy to accept that there are some people — not all that many — who don’t fit in that binary, and want to be protected from discrimination and allowed full access to medical interventions in order to live lives that are true to who they are. And I’m with them all the way. After all, I, too, am a part of a minority — most people live their lives governed by heterosexual desires. Thanks to the gay and lesbian movement, I’m not being asked to.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But abolishing the sex binary for the entire society? That’s a whole other thing entirely. And madness, I believe. What if I redefined what it is to be heterosexual and imposed it on straight people? Or changed what it means to be a man or a woman, for that matter? Then it ceases to be accommodation of a minority and becomes a societywide revolution — an overreach that would soon lead to a potent and sane backlash, against not just trans people, but gay men and lesbians as well.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
The gay rights movement, especially in the marriage years, had long asked for simple liberal equality and mutual respect — live and let live. Reform, not revolution. No one’s straight marriage would change if gay marriage arrived, we pledged. You can bring up your children however you like. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone. But in the wake of victory, L.G.B.T.Q.+ groups reneged on that pledge. They demanded the entire society change in a fundamental way so that the sex binary no longer counted. Elementary school children were taught that being a boy or a girl might not have anything to do with their bodies, and that their parents had merely guessed whether they were a boy or a girl when they were born. In fact, sex was no longer to be recognized at birth — it was now merely assigned, penciled in. We got new terms like “chest-feeding” for “breastfeeding” and “birthing parent” for “mother."
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
A key leader of this movement, Chase Strangio, informed us that “a penis is not a male body part. It’s just an unusual body part for a woman.” We all were suddenly expected to announce our pronouns as if everyone didn’t already know. Then neopronouns — xe/xem! — were added. The movement came up with a mantra: “TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN. TRANS MEN ARE MEN.” It was not an argument, nor a proposition to be explored or debated. It was a theological command. In all caps.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Was there any debate among gays and lesbians about this profound change, a vote taken, or even a poll of gay men and lesbians? None that I can find or recall. And, as in other “social justice” spaces, dissent was equated with bigotry. Dissenters from gender ideology are routinely unfriended, shunned and shamed. Almost all of the gay men, trans people and lesbians who have confided in me that they don’t agree with this, or think that @JK_Rowling or @Martina Navratilova have some good points, have said so sotto voce lest anyone overhear. That’s the extremely intolerant and illiberal atmosphere that now exists in the gay, lesbian and transgender space. This little community used to champion all manner of expression or argument or speech, eccentrics and visionaries. Now it’s fearful, self-censored and extremely uptight. Debate has been all but snuffed out; total uniformity of thought is demanded.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this illiberalism made a fateful, strategic mistake. In the gay rights movement, there had always been an unspoken golden rule: Leave children out of it. We knew very well that any overreach there could provoke the most ancient blood libel against us: that we groom and abuse kids. You can bring up your children however you like, we promised. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone. So what did the gender revolutionaries go and do? They focused almost entirely on children and minors. Partly because the adult issues had been resolved or close to it, and partly because true cultural revolutions start with the young, it meant overhauling the education not only of children with gender dysphoria, but of every other kid as well.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Kids all over the country were impacted. Your children were taught in elementary school that being a boy or a girl was something they could choose and change at will. Your daughter found herself running against a trans girl (i.e. a biological male) in athletics. Children in elementary school got to pick pronouns, and some children socially transitioned at school without their parents’ knowledge or permission. I suppose there are other ways you can resurrect the ghost of Anita Bryant, and all the homophobic paranoia that followed her, but this will probably do the trick.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And then most radical of all: gender-affirming care for minors, which can lead to irreversible sex changes for children. The “care” included off-label “blockers” to arrest puberty, almost always followed with cross-sex hormones. To begin with, gays and lesbians, including me, empathized with kids with gender dysphoria, and trusted the medical profession with the rest. If this helped kids or even saved their lives, as was often emphasized, what business was it of mine? If transitioning this young in life would helped some pass better as adults, good for them.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Still, questions lingered, drawn from my own life. As a child, uninterested in playing team sports but very interested in the boys who played team sports, I was once asked by a girl when I was just 10 years old, “Are you sure you’re not really a girl?” Of course not, I replied. But I wonder how I might have responded if someone in authority — a parent or a teacher or a doctor — had suggested that my difference and occasional anxiety was because I was, in fact, a girl. That my body was irrelevant, and that I could choose to be the opposite sex before puberty and all my confusions would disappear. I just don’t know what I would have said or done, to be honest.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And how do today’s parents, teachers and doctors know for surethat a 10-year-old child isn’t, well, like me, and really is trans? How can they know for sure that the gender dysphoria isn’t instead a manifestation of being gay or lesbian and wanting to change it? How do they know for sure there isn’t another complicating personal or psychological factor? I was told not to worry. A child had to demonstrate a “persistent, consistent and insistent” trans identity for years even to be considered for medical intervention.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this, I found out, was no longer true. The whole point of the new regime of gender-affirming care was that it rejected broad mental health assessments of children that could ensure that mistakes really didn’t happen. The old “persistent, consistent and insistent” model was deemed transphobic and loosened to become an affirmation policy. As soon as a kid said he or she was the opposite sex, further counseling and mental health exploration was deemed problematic, because it amounted to transphobic conversion therapy, we were told. When I said that seemed crazy, and that surely we needed more safeguards, I was sternly told, “Children know who they are.”
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But do they? When they are between 9 and 13? I sure didn’t. Does any parent really believe this? Solid long-term data on how many children who transition but decide later it was a mistake is hard to find, in large part because the procedures are relatively new and the studies often have very poor follow-up. But without a doubt, there are some. They are walking around today, testifying in courts and legislatures, opining all over the web, telling similar stories of rushed judgments, minimal safeguards, inadequate gate-keeping and agonizing regret that as children they made irreversible decisions they could not meaningfully consent to.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
I have met many. They break your heart. And so many of the gender-dysphoric kids are gay and lesbian. Of course they are, and there are many more children who will grow up to be gay and lesbian than who will grow up to be trans. When adolescents referred to a British gender clinic were asked about their sexualityin 2012, some 90 percent of females and 80 percent of males said they were same-sex attracted or bisexual.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
In the Netherlands, the famous Dutch protocol for gender-affirming care was pioneered in the 1990s with far stricter safeguards in place than exist in the United States today. There, of a cohort of 70 adolescents referred to an Amsterdam clinic from 2000 to 2008, 62 were same-sex attracted. And it’s easy to see that one way to “cure” yourself of attraction to the same sex is to become the opposite one. At Britain’s now-shuttered Tavistock clinic, according to the investigative journalist Hannah Barnes, staff members had a dark joke that at the rate they were going, there would be “no gay people left.” This is why sex-change surgeries are permitted and even subsidized in Iran: It’s a way to rid the country of gay people.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And a fix for gender dysphoria for gay and lesbian kids can be puberty itself, as it was for me and many of my gay male friends. Once my own hormones kicked in, my anxieties evaporated. I lovedbeing a boy, I realized. Puberty blockers literally block gay and lesbian kids from the chance at that possible resolution of their gender dysphoria. There is a real conflict here, and it’s obscured by the L.G.B.T.Q.+ identity.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
We were also told, repeatedly, that transitioning children was drastic, but the alternative could be that they would commit suicide. “We often ask parents, ‘Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?’” Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a vocal advocate of these treatments, told ABC News in 2011. But even the American Civil Liberties Union @ACLU’s Mr. Strangio admitted, when arguing before the Supreme Court last year, that suicide “thankfully and admittedly is rare.” In one study from Britain, of some 15,000 adolescents referred for gender care over a decade, there were four likely or confirmed suicides two who had been seen and two had not. One suicide is awful — and suicidality is real among kids with gender dysphoria. But that doesn’t mean that suicide is what will happen if you don’t transition a child.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
One specific concern for boys who transition to girls in early puberty. “If you’ve never had an orgasm pre-surgery, and then your puberty’s blocked, it’s very difficult to achieve that afterwards,” a pioneering trans surgeon, Dr. Marci Bowers, has said. Research on this is minimal, and so caution is necessary in jumping to conclusions. But I ask myself: If there is a risk that some people will be denied sexual pleasure for their entire life because they transitioned very early, is it worth it? And how can a child understand what giving up orgasms for life might mean when he hasn’t experienced a single one? The obvious answer is that he can’t, and it’s profoundly unethical to put him in that situation. And who exactly is looking out for these kids? Certainly not the L.G.B.T.Q. organizations.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
How did a movement that began with sexual liberation end up doing that? By drift, activist extremism, a social media bubble and suppression of free debate. Soon enough, the right began associating what used to be the lesbian and gay movement with this gender extremism, and the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement responded not by moderating tone or substance, but by closing ranks, seemingly determined to prove its point.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Dissent became anathema. When this newspaper reported on controversies in gender medicine, GLAAD parked a billboard truck outside the New York Times Building on several occasions, demanding the coverage change. In relatively new, disputed medical territory, partisans have insisted that “the science is settled.” When a book came out criticizing childhood transition, Mr. Strangio declared: “Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on.” Public speeches by dissenters have faced abuse, intimidation, and far too often, threats of violence.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
It’s a horrible reversal of history: For so long, First Amendment rights were the primary constitutional right gays and lesbians could fully and regularly exercise, and we treasured them. If censorship was in the air, gay men and lesbians were the first to oppose it. We knew who was shut up first when it came to shutting people up, and we knew we would always be a small minority. The idea that we would tell other people what words they can use, shut down speakers, criticize journalists and threaten others into silence was once absurd. Yet these are now the signature tools of the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement. They do not seek to engage or persuade opponents; they seek to demonize, bully or cancel them.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Or take the campaign for marriage equality. We were almost pathologically civil, willing to debate anyone anywhere, and the harder the nut to crack, the better. For two decades, I went to fundamentalist churches in Idaho, Mormon groups, Catholic universities, conservative media, right-wing talk shows and C-SPAN, and published an anthology that included views from bothsides. We knew that if we wanted to win, and not just posture, we needed to reach conservatives and moderates and explore where we might agree. And it worked! It took time, and we were laughed at at first, but you could see the polling slowly, inexorably shift toward us, from one-quarter to two-thirds in our favor from the 1990s to the 2010s, as our arguments and openness slowly, person by person, won over the country.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Now, look at the recent results of the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement. In the last five years, activists have actually managed to move public opinion away from their causes in many respects. In 2021, for example, 62 percent of Americans said that transgender athletes should be able to play only on teams that matched their gender at birth; by 2023, that figure had risen to 69 percent. This is not bigotry at work. This year, the very same pollster found that a solid majority of Americans — 56 percent — favor policies protecting trans people from discrimination. Americans are broadly fine with transgender people. They are fine with gay people. They just reject replacing the fact of biological sex with the phantasms of gender ideology.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And it’s not because most people don’t know any trans people personally. When people who know a trans person personally were polled, only 40 percent in 2021 supported their competing in teams that matched their gender identity; by 2023, that dropped to 30 percent. On the medical question, 46 percent of Americanssupported banning medical care related to gender transitions for minors in 2022. Today, as people have learned more, 56 percent do. Trans extremism was taken up with gusto by Republicans as an issue and it most likely helped move swing voters to Mr. Trump last year. In one post-election survey, cultural issues, including transgender issues, were slightly more salient for swing voters than even immigration and inflation.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
I hoped this might prompt a rethink as the election results sank in. Last week’s Skrmetti decision at the Supreme Court was another reality check, as the court upheld Tennessee’s ban on certain medical treatments for transgender youth, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy, rejecting claims that the ban violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause and shielding similar laws in other states. When the ruling came down, the mood among L.G.B.T.Q.+ groups was defiant. So the ranks are being closed again.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
If Mr. Trump is against childhood sex reassignment, then we must be for it. If Mr. Trump says there are two sexes, we must insist that there is a spectrum. It will be very hard to break this dynamic in such a tribal atmosphere, especially when there is genuine transphobia among some on the right. But it would be incredibly healthy if we were to allow an actual debate in the community about the direction we are headed in, and treat dissenters less like bigots and traitors. Representative Sarah McBride, the first openly trans member of Congress, echoed this sentiment on @EzraKlein’s podcast last week. But she was condemned on social media as a traitor to trans people.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
This intransigence matters because, left on its current trajectory, the L.G.B.T.Q.+ gender movement carries significant risks for gay, lesbian and trans equality. Gallup found that satisfaction with the acceptance of gay and lesbian people peaked at 62 percent in 2022 but dropped to 51 percent by January of this year. The center and right — whom some of us spent a lifetime engaging — are being lost. Gallup showed Republican support for gay marriage dropping from 55 to 46 percent between 2022 and 2025.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
History strongly suggests that periods of toleration of gay men and lesbians can swiftly end if the public senses an overreach. That may be where we now are. No society has ever been as free for gay men, lesbians and transgender people as the modern West today. There is no such thing as the Human Rights Campaign’s “state of emergency,” and it was absurd to say so. But for some activists, there has to be. As Francis Fukuyama put it in “The End of History and the Last Man,” “Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle againstthe just cause.”
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Returning to a civil rights model and abandoning the quixotic attempt to end the sex binary do not mean, as some might have it, throwing trans people under the bus. Trans people are already on the bus; they are protected from employment discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Their existing rights should be defended and expanded to public accommodations — especially the adult right to have access to gender medicine through Medicaid, which is now being threatened. Americans should back us on that. But fighting a losing battle to allow trans women to compete in women’s sports and for biological men to be in women’s intimate spaces, and to perpetuate risky, inadequately tested sex changes on children, including gay and lesbian ones, is dumb, offensive to common sense and risks a much bigger backlash.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
This does not mean the L.G.B.T.Q.+ project should be shut down entirely. We need to defend our wins; we need to protect the interests of gays, lesbians and trans people. We need to greatly expand help and care for children with gender dysphoria, prevent bullying and increase mental health resources. Protecting them from often irreversible sex changes should not mean abandoning them. It should mean renewed concern, support and, above all, solid, evidence-based research on how best we can help.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But in America, on, this anniversary of the Obergefell decision, we also need to remember a critical thing: We won. We won because we defended free speech, reached out to right and left and center, left others and children alone — and trusted liberal democracy. That trust was rewarded with one of the swiftest successes in civil rights history. Let’s not throw it away.

The Greatest Decline in Human Health Ever Recorded – Our Children Are the Canary in the Coal Mine Del Bigtree delivers a chilling wake-up call: Chronic illness in children has skyrocketed from 12.4% in the 1980s to over 50% today. Autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, depression, ADHD—our kids are sicker than any generation in history. 🔴 95% increase in depression among girls—10% of teen girls are on antidepressants. 🔴 15% of boys on ADHD meds—yet symptoms keep worsening. 🔴 25% of girls report suicidal thoughts or psychotic episodes. 🔴 Cancer in children up 40% since 1975. 🔴 Heart attack warnings for 6-year-olds. 🔴 EpiPens in every classroom—anaphylaxis was unheard of decades ago. What’s causing this? 💉 A vaccine schedule unlike any in history—starting Day 1 of life with a hepatitis B shot (for a disease only 0.5% of mothers carry). By 18, kids receive 72-90 vaccines, priming their immune systems for disaster. 💊 A generation raised on pharmaceuticals—boys born in 2019 will spend 48% of their lives on meds; girls, 60%. SSRIs, ADHD drugs, and more are handed out like candy, trapping kids in a cycle of dependency. 🌍 We are the only mammal devolving. Our immune systems attack our own bodies. Allergies, autism, autoimmune disorders—none of this was normal when we were kids. Why is no one asking why?

"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

He proved unvaccinated kids were healthier. They revoked his license. Dr. Paul Thomas studied 3,324 children and found unvaccinated kids had FEWER doctor visits and BETTER health outcomes. Here’s what his data showed: Fever – 9.1× higher in vaccinated Ear Pain – 3.4× higher Otitis Media (Ear Infections) – 2.9× higher Conjunctivitis – 2.4× higher Eye Disorders (Other) – 1.8× higher Asthma – 5.2× higher Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) – 6.9× higher Sinusitis – 4.3× higher Breathing Issues – 2.9× higher Anemia – 5.5× higher Eczema – 4.5× higher Urticaria (Hives) – 2.1× higher Dermatitis – 1.4× higher Behavioral Issues – 4.1× higher Gastroenteritis – 4.7× higher Weight/Eating Disorders – 2.5× higher ADHD – 0 cases in unvaccinated group *Data based on how often children visited the doctor for each condition* Instead of investigating the findings, the Oregon Medical Board suspended Dr. Thomas’s license—just days after the study was published. Months later, the study was retracted. Dr. Paul Thomas isn’t the only one who faced swift punishment for publishing inconvenient science. Other doctors have faced similar consequences for exposing the same pattern. The question is: Why are doctors being punished simply for comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated kids? 🧵 THREAD

This information comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc. For all the sources and details, read the full 20,000-word report below. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-has-mass-vaccination
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
The CDC deleted its vaccine injury database (VSD)—right before RFK Jr. could access it. Getting access to the VSD has been a goal of the vaccine safety community and one of the things RFK pledged to do if he ever assumed office. So rogue HHS employees literally erased the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) to block RFK Jr. from reviewing the data. That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s completely real. And really crazy. The only reason you would do that is if you have something to hide. So, what were they trying to hide?
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
This often-repeated line is true: Vaccines have never been properly tested. There has never been a true placebo-controlled trial of the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Yet this schedule is pushed on every child and parents who hesitate or ask questions are ridiculed. Why haven’t they been tested? Because withholding vaccines is considered “unethical” (even when there’s no proof they’re safe in the first place). So they can’t be tested. That’s the scam. Never mind the fact that it seems ethics is now missing from medicine altogether anyway…
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc Knowing all this and after what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be incredibly irresponsible to push ahead as we have been for years. We must ask, what has mass vaccination done to society? (See the full explanation here) https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-has-mass-vaccination
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
Why don’t doctors notice and speak out? Doctors who expose vaccine harm have lost everything. Dr. Paul Thomas published data comparing 2,763 vaccinated kids to 561 unvaccinated kids born into his practice. He plotted their total visits and found that unvaccinated kids were far healthier across the board. That’s BIG NEWS and something every parent needs to know. But what happened next? They revoked Dr. Thomas’ medical license.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc Brian Hooker and Neil Miller later did something similar. Their study included data from 3 different pediatric practices. They analyzed 2,047 children who had been born within the medical practice between November 2005 to June 2015.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc In 2007, Generation Rescue hired a third-party polling firm to do a survey of 17,674 children. 991 of them were completely unvaccinated.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc The data is out there, and @MidwesternDoc has the receipts. Check out the full write-up for more data from a homeschool survey, the Control Group survey, and more. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-has-mass-vaccination
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
Mass vaccination may be the real cause of the chronic illness epidemic. Asthma. ADHD. Autism. Autoimmune disorders. They’ve all exploded and it’s been alongside the rapidly increasing vaccine schedule. The more shots a child receives, the sicker they become. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a pattern. And we have to pay attention!
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc What if autism is actually vaccine-induced brain damage? @MidwesternDoc lays out the case in this eye-opening article. • Encephalitis is a known vaccine injury • Autism symptoms overlap with mild encephalitis https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-damage-has-mass-vaccination
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
A whistleblower once exposed the CDC altering data to hide vaccine-autism links. He confessed. But the media ignored it. The medical establishment ridiculed him. And the CDC buried all the evidence. Don’t underestimate how far they’ll go to protect the narrative. This is a billion-dollar scheme.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
During COVID, vaccine injuries were so widespread that they couldn’t cover it up. • 7% of recipients reported major side effects • Sudden deaths in young, healthy people • A huge spike in myocarditis, strokes, and neurological disorders Even the CDC’s own data showed mass harm.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
But they didn’t fix it. Instead they hid the data and they silenced discussion. The CDC’s “V-Safe” app quietly collected reports of injury from COVID vaccine recipients. And it revealed massive harm. But instead of sounding the alarm, officials published a summary that distorted the numbers to create an illusion of safety.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
They hoped no one noticed but people began connecting the dots, and what they found was terrifying. Vaccine-induced brain damage isn’t rare. It’s everywhere. The effects can be subtle, so we don’t even notice it’s happening. Things like emotional detachment, learning disorders, problems with impulsivity, and declining IQ. We’re living in a vaccinated society, and that doesn’t appear to be a good thing.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
This isn’t new. Every few decades, the same disaster strikes. A rushed vaccine hits the market, causes injury, gets covered up, and then everyone magically forgets and believes that vaccines can do no harm. It started with smallpox in 1798 and has repeated ever since. COVID-19 was just the latest.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
The ongoing rise in crime might be linked to vaccine injury. Historian Harris Coulter showed how post-vaccine encephalitis mimics the traits of violent criminals. These traits can include a lack of empathy, hypersexuality, sudden rage, and neurological tics. Vaccines like rabies, diphtheria, and DPT repeatedly caused encephalitis and even cranial nerve damage. Vaccines are quietly reshaping society in ways we can’t even begin to understand.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
It doesn’t help that doctors have been trained to ignore what’s right in front of them. The signs, like asymmetrical facial muscles, eye tracking glitches, stunted emotional development, are subtle and usually ignored. Those who dare to notice and get to the bottom of it are quickly labeled “anti-vax” and punished.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
All of this begs the question: What else are they hiding? There’s evidence that the HPV vaccine caused autoimmune disorders in 2.3% of trial participants. But Merck made billions, and the shot is still mandated. This isn’t about medicine. It’s marketing and profits. The victims are children, and hardly anyone seems to care. The marketing must be more like brainwashing.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
Did you know that the childhood vaccine schedule ballooned after Big Pharma got immunity? Weird, isn’t it? In 1986, Congress shielded vaccine makers from lawsuits. And ever since then, the number of childhood vaccines has exploded and continues to climb. Curiously, chronic disease rates have skyrocketed as well. And not one study has tested the full schedule for safety. Because that would be “immoral”. Giant eye roll.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
It’s not out of the question that way may be spending trillions treating vaccine injuries—without realizing it. Every illness they can’t explain (which is a lot of them).. Every behavioral disorder they normalize… Every drug they prescribe to mask symptoms (and create more)... Might be linked to the same root cause! And they’re making you pay for it. We’re stuck in a vicious cycle. We have to break out of it before it’s too late. This is absolutely not sustainable.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
So what happens now? What do we do? First, parents need to rise up and demand that no vaccine should ever be mandated. Next, it’s about awareness. Educate yourself—and make sure at least one other person learns the truth, too. The only way to end this nightmare is for the truth to come out—and for the public to finally take back control of their health.
@VigilantFox - Vigilant Fox 🦊
@MidwesternDoc They say vaccine injury is “rare.” But the data clearly tells a very different story. And if even half of this is true, we’re not just facing a health crisis, we’re facing the biggest medical cover-up in history.

TYLENOL & AUTISM - The science big pharma is begging you not to read: (🧵1/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
Historically, aspirin was recommended for children if needed. However, in 1980 the CDC announced an association between aspirin and Reye's syndrome. This caused hospitals to switch over to tylenol (acetaminophen or paracetamol). Autism rates began to skyrocket. (2/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
Some evidence pointed to tylenol use combined with MMR vaccines to dramatically raise autism incidence. This association held true even after adjusting for various confounders and inflammatory conditions. Such an association was NOT seen with ibuprofen, and I'll explain why shortly. (3/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
Some have speculated that Tylenol, along with other new environmental factors, such as glyphosate, have synergistically promoted the rise in autism. The main mechanistic commonalities? They deplete: ➠ Glutathione: our master detoxifying + antioxidant agnet ➠ Sulfate: needed for steroid hormone transport and detoxification (4/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
Studies have confirmed that tylenol (acetaminophen) use is associated with depletions in sulfated steroids across the board. Steroids like: ➥ DHEA-S ➥ Pregnenolone sulfate serve as vital transport mechanisms for these hormones throughout the body, and they are highly involved in: ➥ Neurotransmission ➥ Brain cell growth / maturation ➥ Synaptic plasticity ➥ Functional connectivity all of which have alterations seen in autism.. (5/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
The main problem with Tylenol lies in its metabolism. Only a fraction of Tylenol gets excreted, the vast majority of it undergoes enzymatic detoxification. This requires: ➥ Sulfate ➥ Glutathione and can form a highly toxic compound called NAPQI - which poisons mitochondria and leads to tons of DNA damage and oxidative stress. This is one of the reasons it damages the liver, but it does this in the brain as well. Glutathione and sulfate are needed for other functions as well, and their levels are often low in autism. (6/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
In a consensus statement put together by 91 scientists in Nature, they warned against these exact issues. They pooled together multiple studies on the issue, and found that: ◇ 26/29 showed associations of Tylenol use in pregnancy + neurodevelopmental disorders ◇ 16/19 showed these associations in a dose dependent manner. (7/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
One of the most compelling studies on the topic was published in JAMA in 2019. They measured Tylenol and its metabolites in umbilical cord plasma, showing a: ◇ ~3X increase risk in ADHD ◇ 3-4X increase risk in autism in children. Again, they made sure to adjust for confounders, including maternal illness. (8/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
When analyzing the gene expression after Tylenol exposure, some trends stand out. Pathways involved in: ☆ Inflammation ☆ Energy production ☆ Cell death were negatively impacted. Animals also consistently showed behavioral and cognitive impairments when mothers are exposed, or in the perinatal phase. (9/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
Tylenol might also negatively impact brain cell growth and development. BDNF is the primary protein involved in signaling to neurons to churn out the machinery needed for robust communication and health. Its levels are shown to decrease substantially in certain brain regions when animals are exposed to it. Another hallmark of autism. (10/11)
@Outdoctrination - Analyze & Optimize
There are some other mechanistic links as well, as its speculated that alterations in neurotransmitter levels and in the endocannabinoid system are also involved. What I've outlined here are the primary links. (11/11)
