I never say this because it's already a overused statement by some folks in these subjects, but those Olson-Kennedys are evil. Awful people. No sane medical professional would speak like that, full of subjective considerations and sort of silencing any dissent by downplaying the counterpart in a single sentence.

Therefore, it's intentional, she's lying, and that's disgusting.

All doctors who harm children must be named, shamed, and punished. Plume health mails surgery support letters and drugs across state lines after a brief telehealth consultation. Other doctors gloat about child castrstion on social media.

Prosecute these creatures for child abuse and medical malpractice until there are at least 5,000 of these "professionals" in prison. After all, 5,000 is such a small number of people.

Thanks, Pamela. I hope that your voice is heard in the social work and psychology communities. I have a strong sense that you/we are engaged in a battle of truth and common sense over agains cynical and manipulative ideology. As a retired pediatrician, I cannot believe that so much of society has been willing to give up confused children to a powerful interest movement which is willfully blind to its crimes.

I have an endocrine disorder that messes with my hormones. Any fluctuation in the levels can completely ruin me for weeks or months until the doc hits the right levels. And guess what? They give adult women hormones blockers for certain types of cancer. And you know what most women do? They stop taking them long before the full course of the dosage is one (lasts for years) because the lack of estrogen in a woman's body wrecks your body and mind. Don't believe me? Look it up. Hormone blockers are dangerous, and messing with the endocrine system is dangerous. Please stop acting like taking a pill makes you the opposite sex. It doesn't. And messing with your natural hormone balance can wreck your life.

Thank you Pamela. As a retired licensed clinical social worker (since 2014) I find it absolutely shocking and terrifying that our profession, along with all the other "helping professions" seems to have been completely taken over by this utterly irrational madness posing as "science." I look forward to reading your blog posts.

They should be afraid. For their reputations and careers.

This is a good article with which I agree, but there are spelling errors, “helth” instead of “health.” “It’s,” which should be “its” in the context used. Errors like this can be fodder for those who might want to discredit the article.

What is even more disingenuous than characterizing these child protection laws as "anti-trans" is characterizing them as anti LGBTQ, as if all people under this broad umbrella acronym are somehow harmed by them. That is nonsense. Blindly affirming gender dysphoria and medically transitioning a young healthy body is the real harm.

Thank you for this, Pamela. Good work. I would say to those who point to "only" 5,000 kids being on puberty blockers that it's not a great enough amount to have created all this brouhaha over in the first place.

My newsletter is about "untangling and rewriting the fictions that drive the world." In the end, we're talking about a fictionalized narrative entitled, "The Terrible Perils of At-Risk Teens in the Midwest" versus "The Cautionary Tale of a Children's Book Author Who Dared to Stand Up for Biology and Women." In other words, it's not the numbers — even though you're absolutely right, even one wrong diagnosis and prescription is one too many, as with capital punishment and the government murdering a single innocent person being enough to abolish it — it's about how the narrative has blazed out of control and caused so much unnecessary social destruction and physical harm to individuals with mental health issues.

We know it will die down and go away eventually, but the damage... I mean, the stories on Reddit r/detrans are so heartbreaking I've stopped following the subreddit.

As pediatric psychiatrist, Miriam Grossman, stated before congress: Finland change the policies for treating children with cross-sex ideation in 2020 and do not immediately affirm. There has been no tsunami of Finnish children taking their own lives.

Furthermore, from another angle, members of racial minorities who have religious beliefs along the lines of 'we are created in the image of God' are getting fired for their beliefs. The clip here is concerning AMETEK Rotron manufacturer in Woodstock, NY, where an African American man was immediately fired for questioning a man in make-up using the women's toilet.

It’s high time for people to realize that gender affirming care is just an euphemism for sex denying abuse.

Boston Massachusetts:

Six transgender males in filthy apartment containing drugs, sex toys - one dead of drug overdose with four children , ages 5 to 10, hidden in a bedroom. Not drag queen story hour?

Every “lecturer” in that seminar should be arrested and the physicians executed. Enough of playing these idiotic games with these mentally ill monsters.

Every war produces collateral damage -- innocents are killed. Same here. Watched Independent Lens last night, this kid -- probably a 'real' trannie and you'd swear xe was a girl. In a calm and sane world I'd not have an issue with 'her' using the girls washroom in elementary school. But we can't give ground to The Enemy, can we? No, perhaps we can't.

Too bad, on all fronts, it wasn't possible to return to centering normalcy -- build a world designed around the needs of regular, functioning people. Yes, we have our freaks and perverts and nut cases and The Marginalized and Victims of all sorts -- and we love every one of them, but just as the world is dextrocentric (too bad for lefties), so it should be sane-centric (too bad for folks who think they are Napoleon or who think that men can get pregnant -- you have our deepest sympathies.)
