1) Trans medicine is extreme & bizarre. Considering the #cassreport & #wpathfiles released by Michael Shellenberger & Mia, it is relevant to point out this has been going on for yrs & who began to expose this fact to a wider public. thehomoarchy.com/blog/wpath-gen…

2) The Homoarchy article contains a link to audio files from a 2017 Gender Odyssey conference that was attended by USPATH members such as Johanna Olson-Kennedy, researcher Kristina Olson & Michelle Angello (LCSW) who did a talk called “Complicated Cases'.

3) The quote below shows that to affirmative model advocates, denying blockers/HRT is the worst thing they could do. This will seem ironic if one reviews #wpathfiles & dangerous things doctors have been doing to kids/mentally ill adults in the interests of GAC in the article.

4) While presenters at the 2017 conference talked about medicalizing extreme cases similar to those in #thewpathfiles , it was lesbian bloggers like Gallus Mag/Dirt for Dirt & Denise Caignon, founder of pediatric transition skeptical 4thWaveNow, who exposed them early.

5) One case they exposed (2015) was of a physically unhealthy Down syndrome young person whose mother had written a request (in the daughter’s supposed voice) for funds for a double mastectomy. Social worker Aydin Olson-Kennedy participated in the funding request.

6) Gallus Mag’s site was taken down & 4thWaveNow was stealth-edited by WordPress around the case of a Canadian man (likely autogynephilic) who wanted to force women to wax his “woman’s” groin area. Twitter removed feminist Meghan Murphy for calling this individual a man.

7) 4thWaveNow exposed other extreme cases of medicalizing people claiming to have multiple personalities. Gender Health Query in 2019 highlighted a trans plural survey someone found for Google workers, demonstrating dissociated states have been mainstreamed in tech companies.

8) Jesse Singal was one of the first (the only?) serious journalist to cover pediatric medical transition back then. The attacks on him, even from people in media outlets, were vicious.

9) REDUXX has done thorough journalism in reporting disturbing cases that involve policy input to WPATH from men who host boards featuring castration/rape/murder fantasies involving boys, funding for surgeries for fetishists, & experiments on dogs. reduxx.info

10) The experiments on dogs are for phalloplasties, a severe surgery with very high complication rates, often dangerous complications & the procedure has very poor aesthetic results that leave the patients severely scarred. Yes, showing this is needed & not gratuitous.

11) People critical of this circulated stories of doctors providing men, likely w/ physiologic autogynephilia, w/ chemicals to induce lactation so they could 'nurse' babies, unethical given the sexual nature often associated w/ men’s desires to mimic female bodily functions.
