The Cass Review
The WPATH Files
Why is it so difficult to talk about gender?

Ignace Demaerel
Gender remains a sensitive issue in our society. Polarisation is asserting itself here too, making open and nuanced dialogue no longer possible.
Dispute arises over World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s involvement in WHO’s trans health guideline
theBMJ

The New Statesman
Hannah Barnes

The New Statesman
Hannah Barnes
Nearly 900 doctors have written to the British Medical Association (BMA), expressing “dismay” and disappointment” at the stance being taken by the doctors’ union on puberty blockers and the Cass Review, the New Statesman can reveal
Why are BMA Council’s confidential discussions on the Cass Review a matter of public interest?
The New Statesman
Hannah Barnes
That a significant number of the trade union’s governing body were contemplating a rejection of the Cass Report is something that the BMA should be open about.
What was the wording of the final motion the BMA Council voted on? And how did its members vote? I think BMA members and the public, whom so many of them dutifully serve, have a right to know.
WPATH Influence Undermines WHO’s Transgender Guidelines
Reality’s Last StandVerbond
SEGM
The heavy representation of members of WPATH on the GDG has always been a concern, but this concern has now been increased by a new development. New evidence has emerged that two prominent WPATH members involved in the production of the WHO guidelines were directly involved in suppressing unfavorable evidence related to the availability of cross-sex hormones in the process of creating their society’s official guidelines: WPATH Standards of Care 8

The Dutch Protocol in transgender care is unsustainable
NRC
Jan Kuitenbrouwer and Peter Vasterman
The Health Council should conduct an independent enquiry into transgender care in the Netherlands.
From its publication, all eyes were on the Amsterdam UMC Gender Clinic, the birthplace of this treatment. The research that cannot stand the test of criticism was conducted here. The only response issued by the clinic is baffling.

New study: trans youth not at elevated risk of suicide
Unherd
Mary Harrington
A new study challenges the common assertion that gender-dysphoric youth are at elevated risk of suicide if not treated with “gender affirming” medical interventions. If it’s true, it ought to have a seismic impact on the accepted medical approach to gender-confused youth.
Breaking News: What Future for WPATH as Membership Plummets?
Critical Therapy Antidote
Peter Jenkins
The future for gender affirming healthcare at a global level now looks rather uncertain. WPATH global membership stood at 4,119 in January 2023. As of 4th January 2024, it stood at 1,590. If taken as correct, the figures represent a massive fall in global WPATH membership in the order of a 60% drop within the space of a year. This seems to be an important development, the full causes and significance of which remain yet to be clarified.
Transgender health: WHO under fire from international critics
An international reaction mobilising various organizations has denounced clear violations of fundamental principles of governance by the World Health Organisation. WHO has appointed a working group of trans-affirmative activists, most of whom have no scientific expertise, to establish international standards for the “provision of gender-affirming care, including hormones”, and to promote the legal recognition of gender self-determination as a universal human right.

Dutch experts: evidence gender treatment insufficient
The research on which medical treatment for transgender youth in the Netherlands is based is scientifically flawed. So say four leading methodologists and a professor of remedial education to Zembla. The research is the basis for the much-vaunted Dutch Protocol, the treatment method developed by the VU University Amsterdam in the 1990s and adopted in many other Western countries.

Human Events
Erin Friday
For the fourth consecutive year, a group of pediatricians submitted a resolution requesting that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) take an evidence-based approach to treatment recommendations for gender-confused minors.

The Trans War on Tomboys
Compact
Nina Power
Today, the boyish girl is in danger of being told she was “born in the wrong body,” and whisked off to a gender clinic. Setting children on this path is an obvious grotesque harm. We have taken a terribly wrong turn in allowing pharmaceutical companies to construct lifelong patients out of healthy children.
