One can only hope for some justice for these people who have exploited innocent children for their own ideological purposes.

Thank you son much for this. The point that it is not WHO wrote the HHS Report, but WHAT it said - the substance - is what matters cannot be stressed enough.

I don’t care who says the Earth is round or gravity is a real force or 2 plus 2 equals 4. I care whether those things are true.

I care about treating young vulnerable individuals in distress with proper interventions (which may mean no interventions, talk therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary changes, or many other things - with the most drastic being chemicals and surgeries to alter their appearance and their bodily functions). If Donald Trump’s administration funded proper research that can help these individuals, I want to hear about it and fairly critique it - despite the fact that I disagree with much of what he has to say on other topics. If this is the one good thing his administration does to help this country and maybe the world, we should certainly take that and use it to our advantage.

If someone wants to deny facts, it is incumbent on that dissenting party to explain why those facts are not true. If someone wants to challenge the principles of gravitational force, they must explain their alternative theory, not scream about what a bigot Isaac Newton was (not that I know anything about Isaac Newton’s opinions about race and ethnicity).

Clearly, the AAP and APA and Endocrine Society don’t care about the vulnerable individuals they are pushing into extreme interventions or they would have properly engaged in the HHS Report.

Perhaps the historians of the future will have some explanation for how a once vigorously sane culture managed to so completely decay so very quickly and seemingly without a fight. It would seem that by the time civilized people realized that the woke were taking over, it was already too late. One gets the impression that the APA is already past reform, there are no adults in the room anymore, the only choice is the Trumpian one of shutting the thing down entirely. Are their any of our once trusted public institutions that have withstood this?

Shameful. Just so unbelievably egregiously sickeningly shameful.

I was waiting for this Colin, and wasn’t disappointed.

The key to refusal to engage of AAP and EP is due to the constancy of the need to hide sex in the sex mimic model.

All those who concur with or affirm sex mimicry must logically abandon any other objectives of their organization, and maintain strict secrecy about sex mimicry because there are never any upsides to examining the condition.

All examination can only conclude the sex mimics are men - there is no other endpoint in objective reality - and that any medical approaches to denying reality create iatrogenic harm.

It’s like not opening bills. If you don’t open the bill you don’t owe anybody money. If you never discuss sex mimicry, then it can never be challenged. If you don’t study harm it doesn’t happen. Remember Trump - if you don’t count Covid deaths they didn’t happen.

This creates humorous conditions - the more evidence that men mimicking women are men, the less likely anybody affirming the deception will ever possibly engage at all.

1000 parents should create a class-action lawsuit to force these organizations to confront data, and remove all statements in any way about male and female sex mimics from their literature.

I suspect that the professional associations are still operating on the belief that they can treat with contempt anyone who disagrees with them. In blue state environments and blue organization environments the inhabitants are completely convinced that their beliefs correspond to the one and only one reality. I know this because they tell me that when they are around "conservatives" they counter any "conservative" opinions with comments like, "Well, that isn't really how it is." They talk about their conflict between wanting to "educate" conservative people versus writing them off and ending all contact with them. They are all terrified of Trump, but no Democrat I know believes that the "gender" madness is literally madness, let alone that it is on its way out.
