Saturday PITT Review - November 17 to 21, 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 Turning the Language Around: “For years, parents like me have been given a terrifying but untrue ultimatum: “Would you rather have a dead son or an alive daughter?” This question, repeated by doctors and therapists, has become a script used to manipulate families into compliance. It is not compassion; it is emotional blackmail and plants the seed of despair.”

IN THE NEWS
Woman’s Gym Membership revoked for calling out man in women’s locker room
Woman’s side of the story here - ‘I’m being punished for not wanting to be naked in front of men in the restroom.’
Man’s rebuttal here - “I began using hormones this year in February … you know, name change, and it says female on my ID — and hormones. I’m registered as a female with the gym,” they added.
The man’s claim to have a right to be in women’s spaces is predicated on the belief that people can change sex and that “transwomen are women”.
The woman’s objection is based on history of humankind since the earth cooled.
Final HHS Report on Gender “Affirming Care” Questions Benefits
On November 18, HHS published the final version of their systematic review of the evidence behind gender medicine for minors. The report, the initial draft of which was published in May, was sharply critical. It argued that given the risks, providing minors with medical gender transition interventions even in clinical trials would be “in tension with well-established ethical norms.” As NPR reported it: “Health care for transgender children questioned in 400-page Trump administration report”, proving, once again, that they are in the ideology, not news, business. Gender medicince is not health care. It is the exact opposite. There are no “transgender children”. That is akin go “child bride”. And this is science based so the Trump administration inclusion is editorial here.
