Jamie Reed is a pivotal medical whistleblower sounding the alarm over what occurs at supposed "youth gender clinics"—Eliza Mondegreen is a researcher into gender related internet phenomena. Together, we critique our systems of medicine and culture of trans-humanism.
NOTES:
Jamie has worked in gender treatment clinics but is now working with de-transitioners to promote evidence-based approach (instead of the fantasyland approach used now) . She and a group of de-transitioners had a booth in the exhibition hall at the Amer. Assoc of Pediatrics conference held just now. They frankly thought they would probably get thrown out. Did not happen but was controversial.
AAP has recently said they would actually INVESTIGATE an evidence-based approach recently, which is better than their previous stance of assuming that it's ALREADY evidence-based (when it's not).
The AAP is one of the 3 influential groups that "validates" gender-affirming care, the other two are WPATH and the Endocrine Society. So if AAP switches to an evidence-based approach, that could have HUGE consequences.
Jamie et al encountered 3 types of visitors to their booth: angry people (practitioners who are part of the trans industry), interested people (want to know the truth) and relieved people (oh finally we can talk about this). There was no violence but this is a HOT topic, VERY INTERESTING DISCUSSION.
