The world has had several weeks to digest The Cass Review, which prompted the UK to end puberty blocking Rx for gender distress along with a general reckoning across Europe. In the US, MD groups and media are still processing. My new The BMJ piece🧵1/ bmj.com/content/385/bm…

The use of puberty blockers has been halted in Scotland. Our government chose a nice, quiet news day to slip out the announcement that they'll be implementing the recommendations of the #CassReview.

OK, amid the chaos that most journalists are using as misdirection, what *did* we learn at the IBA conference yesterday? The two boxers were tested twice. (This is a good thing. Duplication of tests is necessary to ensure reliable data.) The testing was done by reliable lab

'We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children.'

With the US election, many people have come across the debate about how “trans rights” affects society, drawn here by the obvious: women’s sports, and childhood transition. Those issues are the screwed-up tip of a disastrous iceberg. Here’s an incomplete primer, in no order: 🧵
