The World Professional Association for Transgender Health commissioned a systematic review of existing research on cross-sex medical treatments in 2020, but found “little to no evidence” supporting these treatments for children and adolescents, according to newly unearthed emails.
🚨🚨BREAKING: New documents released in the legal defense of North Carolina's age limits on pediatric sex-trait modification are shocking.
They reveal that WPATH hired experts at Johns Hopkins to do a series of systematic reviews on the evidence supporting “gender affirming”…

Never one to be bogged down by reality, WPATH blocked researchers from publishing their findings, and went on to release updated standards of care in support of child medical transitions. The development comes after a deluge of evidence earlier this year revealed that WPATH and its members knowingly pushed irreversible and unproven interventions onto minors without being able to obtain meaningful consent.
Then, when the Cass Review similarly found weak evidence for child gender transitions, WPATH complained that this review was “rooted in the false premise that non-medical alternatives to care will result in less adolescent distress”. When in doubt, double down.

SubscribeA medical and safeguarding scandal that has been hiding in plain sight.
Charlatans, grifters, ideologues and worse have used the masquerade of “inclusion” and “kindness” to harm children. Cheered on by celebrities and politicans who put their desire for progressive acclaim above the safety of the vulnerable. While the brave and conscientious individuals who called out this outrage have been defamed, attacked and lost their livelihoods.
There needs to be a public enquiry into how this was allowed to happen.
