Finally read Jesse Singal's article about the coverage of Jamie Reed, the Washington University whistleblower. Journalists Are Exhibiting Far Too Much Credulousness Toward Jamie Reed’s Critics (archive)

In short, I simply don’t think that the journalists behind these stories did a careful job. If they were this sloppy on such basic facets of the story, why should we trust that they were any more careful on other parts of it that are harder for outsiders to verify?

Singal focusses on the use of two people as sources, Kim Hutton and Jess Jones. It turns out that Hutton is a co-founder of a local trans activist group, and was involved in establishing the gender clinic. Jones, meanwhile, appears to have greatly misrepresented both her experience and that of Jamie Reed.

What interests me is the coverage so far focuses on Jamie Reed's credibility, which is largely the line Tony has taken. Tony's "debunking" Substack was shoot-the-messenger type stuff, coupled with claims that, effectively, "this can't possibly be true because gender medicine is excellent".

Certainly at this point the core claims made by Jamie Reed are still unconfirmed; but those stepping forward to dismiss her have their own credibility problems.

Anyway, he's a quick round-up of Tony's involvement, minus a few tweets attacking Jamie Reed's lawyer.

Missouri Anti-trans "Whistleblower" Story Is A Manufactured Controversy - Point By Point

Jamie Reed's story is being pushed by the worst of the worst anti-trans voices on the internet. I dig point-by-point through her claims and show how they undermine her conclusions.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:00 PM UTC
Jamie Reed is represented by Vernadette Broyles. If this name sounds familiar, it's because she has been in charge of nearly every major anti-trans court case involving schools in the United States, and advised DeSantis on the creation of the Don't Say Gay law.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:01 PM UTC
We know that she worked with the Republican Attorney General of Missouri for over 2 weeks before releasing this story, and judging from how many right wing outlets seemed prepared to launch their stories the moment it dropped, this was a coordinated effort.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:01 PM UTC
Furthermore, given how long it took for her to come out with these allegations and given that she waited until the peak of anti-trans bill hearings, it's clear that this was politically motivated, and not motivated by a concern for patient safety.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:03 PM UTC
In her story, she misgenders every trans patient she refers to.
Her first live interview was given with the anti-trans organization Genspect, which if you follow me, you are intimately familiar with.
They advocate for banning trans care up to the age of 25.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:04 PM UTC
In her story, she alludes to multiple instances of kids showing up with "no history of gender dysphoria" and claims that their dysphoria is rapid onset.
This is disproven by research.
The more likely (and studied) scenario is, kids waited years to tell patients and clinicians.

She also claims that the trans youth she was seeing was caused by social contagion. This is also flatly contradicted by research.

New Study Examines The “Social Contagion” Hypothesis Of Transgender And Gender Diverse Identities - Fenway Health: Health Care Is A Right, Not A Privilege.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:06 PM UTC
She uses to evidence this claim the fact that some people came into the clinic as friends or in "clusters" from the same school.
This is likely because trans and queer people often come out to each other in social support groups. This is NOT new to trans people.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:07 PM UTC
She hints that many of her patients transgender identities may have been "caused by autism." This too is false. There is no evidence that autism causes gender dysphoria.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:08 PM UTC
Actually, some articles have noted that withholding care would increase depression among autistic trasn people.
being prevented from transitioning due to an autism diagnosis could “cause increased levels of depression and anxiety.”

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:11 PM UTC
In her article, she saw 1,000 patients. 0.03% of the population that her area serves.
So in reality, her "explosion" of transgender people was minsicule.
Over 2% of those under 25 are trans.
Her stuff only shows that a TINY sliver seek treatment under 18.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:13 PM UTC
Jamie places her own judgment over doctors who have been medically trained to handle this care. In one case, she states that "the science isn't settled."
Her source?
A Jesse Singal article.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:14 PM UTC
She presents two letters in her newsletter.
One of them actually absolves the clinic. It shows that they read a patient's psychology assessment and deliberated over not giving them a particular treatment, bicalutamide.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:15 PM UTC
See the letter here. Clearly the clinic WAS reading and responding to them:

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:17 PM UTC
She claims that actual goals for transition are negative side effects and speaks with disdain for trans people's genitals.
She for instance tries to use clitoral enlargement as a reason to STOP care, when trans men often desire this effect.

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:18 PM UTC
Bizarrely, she states that the patients have no idea this will occur, but on the clinics OWN WEBSITE, it states "clitoral enlargement" as one of the "what to expects."
Any trans person knows this is on ALL of the forms.

One particularly offensive part of her story is she claims that "recently we've seen more trans youth come into the clinic from mental crisis services"
And.. YEAH.
Have you SEEN what the environment looks like out there for trans people right now?

Erin Reed (@ErinInTheMorn) · Feb 10, 2023 · 8:19 PM UTC
This increase in suicide attempts and mental crises are caused specifically by people like Jamie and articles and attacks on their care like this.

I discussed with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the politically motivated hit job from far-right groups focused on the elimination of trans people from society in Missouri.
Jamie Reed's choice of attorneys, timing, and even her own accounts make that clear.

Erin Reed contends Jamie Reed’s allegations have several red flags in addition to her working with Broyles, including how she refers transgender boys and girls by their assigned sex at birth.

“The groups that she is working with, Vernadette Broyles; and the way that she presents her case; the way she even talks about transgender people — the way that she misgenders every single one that she talks about in her article — does not paint of picture of an individual with no ideological motivation and lack of bias,” Erin Reed said.

Remember that "whistleblower?"
They interviewed two dozen parents at the St. Louis Transgender Clinic that directly contradict Jamie Reed.
Reed has tapped Vernadette Broyles to rep her, who has in the past compared LGBTQ+ advocates to cockroaches.

Parents push back on allegations against St. Louis transgender center. ‘I’m baffled.’

Accounts from almost two dozen parents contradict examples provided by former case manager at transgender center.

I think Erin Reed just expects a swarm of fascist descending upon them as soon as they step out of line, or the citizens of the fascist state being trained and brainwashed into hounding them and ratting them out for the base act of calling themselves woman that as soon as someone clocked them walking to a bathroom they'd end up getting a "Do Not Pass Go Do Not Collect 200$ Patreon dollars" straight to jail type deal. Then to be held there for a prolonged amount of time, abused by prisoners and guards (as that would fit into his trans martyr fantasy), the state finally funding the troon gas chambers or worse, forcibly detransitioning them so they can't be superior wahmen anymore.

This is probably true, which likely explains why Tony gets so excited when he starts talking about how he wants the cops to illegally do stuff to people like LibsofTikTok and others who upset Tony by saying things he doesn't like.

The 'Gobbo boyfriend' (Goblin Boyfriend) always makes me chuckle. just looks so unnatural in every single photo that gets taken.
The fact that this is a US representative is somewhat hilarious. ,

Just a state representative, our Congresspeople are mildly more attractive than our state representatives on average. There's a lot of places where it's not really all that hard to become a state representative for a term or two. There are only 435 US representatives but there are almost 7400 state legislators. All too few for what it's worth, NH's House is perhaps the only properly representative body with enough unattractive, uninformed and ignorant state legislators.

I think Tony should make his map global

I guess he's worried he'll peak Normies if they find out what's happening in Scandinavia.

Also those eyebrows man. I popped into the Lavery thread and as gross as Joe is at least he doesn't have two giant male caterpillars on his face. I know thicker eyebrows are "in" for women, but not like this. And I thought he was getting them done on a personal day away from his 19 hours of daily work.

 

[Geranium]

I think Tony should make his map global

Excellent news! Norwegian clinicians have been raising concerns for a long time, so it's good to see the national system finally take a cautious approach.

I wonder which flavour of cope we'll get from Tony today: insistence that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones "are not banned!!!"; denunciation of Norway for transphobia; or complete silence?

The existing Norwegian treatment guidelines for gender-dysphoric youth, based on a 2015 report ”The Right to the Right Sex,” closely mirror WPATH SOC7 “gender-affirming” model. Medical gender affirmation is widely available to youth, with no psychological assessments required. /3

Under the current Norwegian guidelines, youth may receive puberty blockers at tanner stage 2, cross-sex-hormones at 16, and surgeries at 18. The report noted that these widely available interventions are irreversible, carry many risks, and rest on insufficient evidence. /4

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
The report criticized Norway’s current "gender-affirmative" guidelines as inadequate, noting a lack of specificity regarding assessment & determination of medical necessity of risky and irreversible interventions provided to youth whose identities are still forming. /5

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
The Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board noted several worrying trends: the rapid rise of gender dysphoria in adolescents (esp. females), the high burden of mental illness (75%) & a high prevalence of neurocognitive conditions (ADHD/autism, Tourette) in the affected youth. /6

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
The recommendations by the Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board (NHIB/UKOM) align Norway with the changes among the growing number of European countries (Sweden, Finland, England) which aim to safeguard youth from harm by sharply restricting youth gender transitions. /7

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
However, unlike Sweden, Finland and England, Norway explicitly calls out the group of young adults whose development is still ongoing and who are at risk for erroneously undertaking gender transitions. The report notes that the age of consent for sterilization in Norway is 25./8

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
NHIB/UKOM notes that the right to medical care does not include the right to experimental treatments. As an experimental intervention, gender transitions will be subject to heightened scrutiny around informed consent, eligibility criteria, and outcomes evaluation./9

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
Norway's proposed model appears to resemble the model of care outlined in the Cass review. Gender dysphoric youth will receive care for their distress in local primary care settings with multidisciplinary support. Youth gender transitions will be an exception, not the rule. /10

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
The Board also comments on the highly polarized & unbalanced nature of the discussions surrounding care for gender-dysphoric youth, which stifles scientific debate. The Board calls on all parties to treat each other with professionalism, empathy and respect. /11

SEGM (@segm_ebm) · Mar 10, 2023 · 3:24 AM UTC
SEGM will be analyzing the report in more detail. Currently, our assessment is that the UKOM report is akin to UK's Cass Review in that it makes recommendations for restructuring youth gender services. How Norway's NHS will implement these recommendations remains to be seen. /12
