On February 15th, masked trans activists in Ottawa attempted to shut down the showing of Adult Human Female, a film that explores how trans activism collides with women's rights. The Ottawa Public Library, citing intellectual freedom, rightly refused to give in to their demands.

This is brilliant from Andrew Scheer. Amid so many other changes in our politics - the Conservative Party’s success in bypassing traditional Liberal cheerleaders in legacy media and instead going direct to Canadians is one that will eventually deserve long-term study.

Erasing our history will never solve our problems. We must celebrate the great Canadian achievements by telling the unvarnished truth: Canada is the greatest country in the world precisely because of those who came and sacrificed before us.Β  nationalpost.com/news/canada/td…

NEW STUDY: A systematic review on effects of cross-sex hormones shows all trans-identified people on them show changes in reproductive tissue. Raises concerns of long-term health risks and quality of life of children conceived with eggs or sperm exposed to cross-sex hormones. 🧡

It seems to me that the first step would be to follow up those who transferred to adult services after GIDs. I'm uncertain to what this could add to the current evidence base. newstatesman.com/politics/socie…

🧡New Dutch study finds that over 50% of those treated w/ puberty blockers (PB) report adult sexual dysfunction. No stats comparing early vs late PB was done due to small sampleβ€”yet authors conclude that early PB doesn’t impair sexual function. That conclusion doesn’t hold up./1

WPATH SoC 8 was not based on systematic reviews of evidence to inform adolescent chapter, but expert consensus - basically GOBSAT. They make strong recommendations based on very low certainty evidence. Therefore not evidence! Please ensure more rigorous journalistic standards.

Today on Beyond Gender we interviewed Dr. Gordan Guyattβ€”the β€œgodfather” of evidence-based medicineβ€”who recently signed a statement calling paediatric gender medicine β€œmedically necessary” despite knowing there is no good quality evidence that it is safe, beneficial and effective.
