Saturday PITT Review - May 12 to 16, 2025
Welcome to the PITT weekly roundup where you’ll find a list of the week’s postings along with links to some of our favorite books, videos, 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 transitioning of children and distressed young adults is crumbling due to evidence-based findings.
Quote of the Week from My Thoughts on Estrangement: “Build a golden bridge so they can return. Create a change in you so they will want to return. They may not initiate contact but they might be receptive if you do. You can also learn how to talk to your child who may have a mental illness. Find a way to communicate with them so they feel heard and understood.”

IN THE NEWS
Has hell frozen over? Are pigs flying? These are questions to consider when the editorial board of The Washington Post asks some “Good questions about transgender care”. Because they are good questions. They are not knee-jerk arguments for the gender affirmation model. Per the editors….
“Clocking in at more than 400 pages, including appendixes, the HHS report is a careful, thorough and definitely skeptical tour through the subject, including the history of gender medicine, the evolution of pediatric interventions, the evidence for pediatric medical transition, and the ethical conundrums that researchers and practitioners face. Critics have been scathing about what they see as the report’s bias and shortcomings. But it makes a legitimate case for caution that policymakers need to wrestle with.
The HHS report lays out these concerns in clear and careful language, and describes the ethical quandaries involved in intervening in the sexual development of minors, who might not be mature enough to give fully informed consent.
This PITT editor is astonished. I did not think I’d live to see this day. I didn’t have faith that the truth, that science, would prevail. But I was wrong. Now, if my daughter would detransistion……

Looking for a way to anonymously promote books that are critical of gender affirming care? Goodreads maintains a list of books that are “critical of transgender politics, or of the standard treatment for people who are gender-nonconforming...” If you would like to add books to this list but are afraid of backlash from doing so, you can message the list owner message privately and they will add them for you.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
How did a group of fringe activists at WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) manage to dupe the entire international medical establishment? That’s the question Peter Boghossian posed to Mia Hughes, an Ottawa-based British journalist and director of Genspect Canada. Mia is also the world’s leading expert in this subject and author of The WPATH Files report. The report exposed widespread, ghastly medical mistreatment of children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults in the ideologically captured field of “gender-affirming care”.
