Saturday PITT Review - June 10 to 14, 2024
June 15, 2024
Welcome to the PITT weekly roundup where you find a list of the week’s postings along with links to some of our favorite books, social media, and podcasts. Please continue the fight against the harms of gender ideology by sharing.
Access to all PITT content is free. Our objective is to inform the public of the devastating impact of gender ideology on families through our personal experiences. And it’s working - Support for transistioing of children and distressed young adults is crumbling.
Quote of the Week from Sorrow: “Sorrow is a lonely weight, and it was helpful to be reminded that to be human is to know sorrow. All any of us can do is live with sorrow as best we can. Sorrow is soothed by the compassionate company of PITT essays and readers’ comments. Writing this essay offers the solace of voicing the sorrow that lives underneath words.”

Doctors Revolt Against ‘Gender-Affirming’ Child Mutilation In Defense Of Basic Biology
The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) teamed up with the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM), the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), and several other groups of medical professionals to condemn genital mutilation surgeries for minors. The full statement is here: https://doctorsprotectingchildren.org/
But our work is not done because then there’s this: Judge Strikes Down Florida’s Ban on Transgender Care for Minors. Yes, a federal judge ruled that Florida could not “prohibit transgender minors from receiving specific kinds of widely accepted gender-affirming medical care.” Since when is “widely accepted” a rationale for a medical treatment? On children. One commenter put it best: “Is the court even aware of the Cass Report in England and the WPATH files? ‘Gender Affirming ‘care’’ may be widely accepted in the US , but literally anywhere that does systematic reviews of the evidence pulls back from the use of puberty blocker on children.” Apparently, the court is not.
