I personally enjoy observing just how often he swings between 'my' journalism and 'our' journalism. He uses 'my' journalism significantly more if he can somehow worm in something about how he's a mother.

He's not a mother and it's that kind of troon appropriation that makes me pretty angry.
Tony is a parent, yes. He's a father. But he's not a mother.

I have a theory you can count the wrinkles on Zacs forehead like the rings on a tree to tell you how many times Tony has rejected him sexually this week

The US Department of Health and Human Services has issued a 400-page document entitled "Treatment of Pediatric Gender Dysphoria - Review of Evidence and Best Practices". Tony wrote a 49 part-tweet chain about it and promise an article later.

Is he still calling the Cornell website a "study?"

At least DHHS can write a book report... Tony just farms his out to S. Bum and gets an F.

I'm impressed that Tony carefully read a 266-page report in a couple of hours before pronouncing it entirely false. Here's his blog post: Fact Check: Trump's HHS Review On Trans Care Filled With Pseudoscience, Pushes Conversion Therapy (archive).

I skimmed it, it's the usual Tony bingo-card stuff. People shouldn't go into it expecting a "fact check", rather a self-justifying political argument. Tony is so committed (whether sincerely or cynically) to transgenderism that opposing arguments are false by definition.

If God Himself came down to Earth, performed a miracle in full view of everyone, and then said medical transition was a bad idea, Tony would have a blog post up within 20 minutes with the headline "Fact Check: God pushes pseudoscience".

Is he still calling the Cornell website a "study?"

You mean the "What We Know Project"? I didn't see him cite it in this most recent stuff about the HHS review but I've no reason to think he's changed his mind about the Cornell ""review" being ground-breaking or whatever.

I mean, in his blog post he calls the Yale "Integrity Project" a "leading medical institution".

The Trump HHS report will undoubtedly face withering scrutiny in the weeks and months ahead. Similar documents have already been dismantled by leading medical institutions, including the Yale Integrity Project, for their distortions and bad-faith science.

Edit, here's what Ben Ryan has to say about it (archive):

By the evening, activist-blogger Erin Reed had applied her signature “FALSE” banner to the HHS report and unraveled a fusillade of fact checks. I took a stab at fact checking a few of them in this X thread.

One of the errors that most irritates me, that Ms. Reed keeps repeating, is that only 10 out of 3,000 children in the British pediatric gender clinic detransitioned. Not only does she have the denominator wrong—the correct figure of youths in the cohort who received cross-sex hormones was about 500—she also fails to acknowledge that the audit from which those figures are drawn was based on discharge data; so there were no data about these young people after they turned 18. Detransitioning can take 4 to 8 years, according to Kinnon Ross MacKinnon, who studies detransitioning at the University of York. And because most of those British children started cross-sex hormones when they were about 16, not enough time had passed in this analysis to assess the true detransitioning rate.

And here's Ben's Twitter thread responding to some of the individual points (archive).

I'm confused. Is Erin telling me the leftist, trans-ideology-supporting media is attacking something they don't agree with?

That doesn't sound like something that would happen in stage 8 of the trans genocide, Erin. Wouldn't the media have glorified it and upheld it as a new sacred text since it is undeniable that the US is in stage 8 of the trans genocide?

As opposed to the peer review coming from Tony Reed - blogger and college dropout.

Based on their lack of awareness and intelligence, the louder trannys tell us that something is "wrong" the likelihood of it being "right" increases.

Glorified book report… fuck off Tony. You wouldn’t know a systematic review if you shoved it up your amhole.

And here's Ben's Twitter thread responding to some of the individual points (archive)

I personally appreciated this bit of visual flair:

"isn't going well."

What on earth does he mean here, "peer-reviewed, but won't say by who"? Peer-review is usually anonymous, and anonymous submission (getting rid of all personal identifiers from the article manuscript before submission while submitting the article text as a separate document) paired with anonymous peer-review is ubiquitously considered the gold-standard of impartiality and quality-assurance (certainly in every field I can think of). In fact, anonymous peer-review is so widespread that it is common for academics to play at guessing (especially in small fields, which nowadays, with so much specialisation of everything, is most fields) who in the field wrote which comments they have received as peer review, based off the writing style and what the person chose to comment on. He could not look more ignorant and amateurish if he tried.

 

[Geranium]

What on earth does he mean here, "peer-reviewed, but won't say by who"? Peer-review is usually anonymous, and anonymous submission (…) paired with anonymous peer-review is ubiquitously considered the gold-standard of impartiality and quality-assurance (…).

You are correct, though I will say specifically in the case of the HHS review, the department has not said what its peer review process is, other than that it has been subject to some kind of internal HHS peer review, and is now being reviewed externally (which is why the authors' names haven't been published).

For instance here is the Lancet policy on peer review, and here is the the one for the Archives of Disease in Childhood.

(I bring up the latter because it recently published two reviews of interest: Puberty blockers for gender dysphoria in youth: A systematic review and meta-analysis; and Gender affirming hormone therapy for individuals with gender dysphoria aged <26 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis.)

That said, I expect at the end of this we'll find out it's been through a normal peer review process, and I also expect that Tony will either describe it as a sham in some way, or ignore it and move on to personal attacks on the authors since their names will then be public.

Druggies who burned out and dropped out of college generally aren't familiar with actual peer review, since they never got to that part of academia. The "peer review" a troon like this means is he wants to know whoever approved of this, so if any of them turn out to be real women, they can be showered with threats of rape and murder and demands to destroy their career.

 

[Otterly]

Go back and read carefully.

Tony asserts that Bondi said PEOPLE are contagious.

Bondi actually said the IDEOLOGY at the core of the troon religion has become contagious.

OK, what is the effective difference? Some dipshit hairsplitting?

The people are absolutely the ones spreading the contagion.

This is the difference, and what the difference means.
- if I say I disagree with something someone is DOING, their ideology, their actions, the locus of blame is with THEM.
Now how can the person react? They must justify their actions.
-if I say THEY are the problem, then how can they react? In this current year where anything you ARE is an identity and all identities are valid? Now the locus of blame is with ME and I can be painted as a bigot and they don’t need to justify their actions at all.

Example 1. Homophobia being coined as a concept. Previously a man would do homosexual acts, and people would react with disgust. Locus of blame is with the person doing the acts. Now ‘homophobia’ is invented, and suddenly it’s an innocent identity and I’m a bigot.

See the difference? It allows the guilty party to avoid justifying his actions, like a big REEEE! Shield .

Of course they’re the ones spreading the ideology, of course they’re cancer. But if you play with their choice of words you end up in their trap. When you frame it as actions they are doing, it’s harder for them to defend. Why are you backing and defending mutilation of children? That’s a harder question than ‘you’re a massive pervert.’ Both are true accusations, but the latter can be dealt either way by calling the accuser a bigot. It’s a thought terminating move

This technique is used for an awful lot of things. Islamophobia, etc. If you find yourself unable to criticise someone because they’re a protected minority, you’re seeing it in action.
Can’t criticise illegals, no matter what they do
Can’t criticise FGM, it’s part of their reoigiin
Can’t even vaguely suggest that gay men giving blood is a terrible idea, you’re homophobic. Etc. Etc
