This is an appeal from parents of kids caught up in gender ideology. If you have personal knowledge of inappropriate practice at gender clinics PLEASE consider whistle blowing. The more people that speak out, the sooner the atrocities of “gender medicine” can be stopped. Our children are being harmed, and they need you –please help!!
I’m just going to ask that we all keep to the topic of how this ideology is ruining our lives and the lives of our kids. Thank goodness for the whistleblowers who can come out and speak freely when most of us are unable to because we want to protect the identities of our kids. We do what we can in the moment. We are all coming from different walks of life and each of these walks is important. Please keep the kids in mind....not our party line, not our religion, not conservative or progressive, not male or female, not sexual orientation. Focus here will only keep us divided which is what the Transgender Activists want! This is not about any of that. It is so much deeper & darker. What I would encourage is to research the history of Nazi Germany and the different ministers assigned, the physicians who were experimenting on kids, the history of sexology, the history of Eugenics and the history of cults. Some other people to consider in this fight who are being quite vocal and making real changes with regard to transgender ideology are Genevieve Gluck, Matt Walsh, Dave Rubin, Jennifer Lahl, & Glenn Beck. Remember we do not HAVE to agree with everyone about every thing. We just have to agree on this one thing. And we might learn something from eachother along the way! I’m in this until the end. No looking back.
Although this did not happen in a gender clinic, I think it constitutes medical malpractice: I took my 16-year-old self-identified FTM child to a pediatrician for the first time. My daughter asked for birth control pills to stop her period. In response, the doctor offered my daughter testosterone. Not a single question was asked. We had met the doctor for the first time literally 5 minutes earlier.
Burnie, that's awful. Would you please send that to the same news organization that published Jamie Reed's piece? And to others, such as your state chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the national AAP, and to your state legislators, and Congresspeople, please? They need to all hear from us, or this will never end.
I hope it was also the last time you saw that doctor. Also, another reason to always say "No" when a doctor asks a parent to leave the room to talk to a child in private.
Let them think we are overprotective weirdos, why should we care.
We must all stand for Truth. Love without Truth is the opposite of good. Today any new sexual activity, sexual look, sexual dress anything someone does with their genitalia must be celebrated as adding to the height of humanity and our magnificence, what absolute rubbish. It's paganism, it is pure evil. The demons rejoice, God cries. Be on the side of God, we can all at least do that.
Can we better define whistleblower? My story https://pitt.substack.com/p/beware-of-sending-your-smart-kids is about my 17 who then turned 18 yr old before the university health clinic prescribed estrogen after three visits. But my experience (plus having part of his file with documented entries showing how the nurse practitioner ignored his possible Co morbidities) seems like it might qualify as a STORY to share, but there’s nothing in terms of legal action that I can take due to his age.
Serious question--Where would I go to blow that whistle?? can this be done without legal action? Thanks!
Political and medical association action. After 3 visits? With what professionals, each time, please? Please provide more details that you believe are significant from a medical or political standpoint, if you have more. 3 visits blows apart the claims of an in-depth relationship with the provider before providing hormones. How long had your son been identifying as trans? Is he still on the drugs? How long ago did this happen? Is he contemplating surgery? I would suggest putting any of that in both an email at each of the following websites, and a snail mail to Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, your Congressional representatives, your state legislators, your local city counci and board of Supervisors, the city council and board of supervisors for the city and county your son's school is in, the president and head of student affairs of your son's university, thr Board of Directors of the university and the clinic, and a letter of complaint to the head of that clinic. Also, the national and your state's chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the AMA. In short, anyone and everyone you can think of. Also, the chairs of your local and state Democrat and Republican parties.
Everyone should know what was done, why you believe this was wrong, and how it is affecting your son, your other kids, you, his father, and your son's future.
If we don't complain to everyone and everyone, nothing will change. They will be able to keep lying and deceoving and having their heads in the sand, and this will keep happening. Once you have your letter written (one page, max), including a few websites you want them to look at, you can and should send it to everyone you can think of. It helps to paste it into politician's web sites, as that's how they take email, at least those at the state and federal levels. Also, request a meeting with all of your electeds, local, state and national. Bring your son's father, or a friend, or a woman from the local Republican or Dem party. You can also contact local reporters and see if they'll let you correspond with them just using your initials. Tie your story into recent news items, so they can use it from a newsworthy angle, maybe theyll include your story as part of a piece about the current legislation happening nationally.
I'm sorry this hapoened, and wish you the best for your son and you, and in speaking up for your son and preventing this for other kids at his college.
I think the rule — not the exception — is a prescription after 1-2 visits. If everyone this happened to can email pitt@genspect.org and comment here, that would be very helpful.
Also, a great role model for taking all kinds of action is Erin Brewer, in Utah.. She's a dynamo. You can look her up on Facebook if you're on there. I'm not really on Twitter, so I don't know if she's active on there. I'm sure she would love to team with you or give you ideas.
The legacy press, I assume, is looking very closely to see if other whistle blowers come forward. It’s like Harvey Weinstein. As soon as one named woman went on the record, others followed suit. Ideally, a blue state whistle blower needs to come forward - legacy media can ignore Josh Hawley and red state politicians. Harder to ignore when it comes out of Boston or another blue state. Imo! If this is as wide spread as claimed, I bet a lot of clinics are very busy tidying up their paperwork and policies. And reviewing their D&O insurance!
Excellent! Now here is a challenge most of you won’t like. Will you consider that the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum is based on deception? It’s not just the T, but all of it. Unfortunately, the majority of people in our culture have become acclimated into thinking LGB is normal. This site effectively demonstrates that T is not. I’m challenging you to rethink the entire LGBTQ+ paradigm. Why draw the line at T? Most LGBTQ+ manifestations are responses to trauma. All LGBTQ+ ideology ends up harming people in the long run. There isn’t a shred of proof that any of it is intrinsic (born that way). Save yourself the time & energy of calling me homophonic & all the other ad hominem attacks that come with not affirming LGB. I’ve heard it all before. I’m the ultimate whistleblower.
If all this T stuff would actually come from LGB, and not mostly men, then the T would not be so hell bent on converting all LGB-people.
It all started from men, not LGB, men with different reasons; paraphilias, narcissism etc
It was that group that piggybacked on this.
Just as they then grab and piggyback on for example anti-racism. Lumping themselves in with an oppressed group / minority group is a manipulative and effective way of getting peoples automatic empathy.
It is a strategy, and visible in their fast succession as they then grab and take over each movement they ...well, infest.
Women, LGB, anti-racism, what’s next?
There in fact is scientific research that shows certain biological possibilities of certain variables more found in gay people, of course more research is welcomed-there is still to remember that these two, LGB and T etc are not in any way comparable, one of them does not want else than to have a right to a private life without judgement and harassment, the other harasses if they do not get all they want regardless of how it affects others.
They also demand and “need” operations, costly to society etc. and mutilation of even kids.
Homosexuality is also found in the animalkingdom, mammals, as transsexual tendencies of mammals only is shown for sc. very heterosexual reasons.
Thank you for this perspective. You're right, it is mostly men who are attached to their power positions in society, backed up by millennia of war mongering and dominant patriarchal institutions and structures. What we are seeing now is how far men will go to reinstate their dominance, particularly when women came into their own, and rose to power positions, and established sex based support groups around birth control, equal pay for equal work, demand for shared child raising etc., to lift up other women trapped in subservience and slavery. What a clever kind of trickery (I call it mind fuckery) of men to 'become' women and take charge of all achievements women have worked hard for to raise the status of women in society. And LGB people who tenaciously chipped away at homo-lesbophobic attitudes to claim equal human rights. Of course these disenfranchised men plotted to get to the kids of the future, the very core or heart of future humane and egalitarian societies. Disrupting their developments not only sees LGB conversion back into 1950s conservatism, but also divides progressive societies into age old violent war parties. HIStory repeated! We must find a way to expose and dismantle (=bring down patriarchy) this while safeguarding uprooted and vulnerable children (and women!) who are subjected to this and used for very dark secret agendas. I see shades of Marquis de Sade. Google his name.
Lesbian feminists divorced G&B decades ago due to persistent misogyny and lesbophobia among gay and bisexual males. When transsexuals aligned with men's rights movements, the women's and lesbian liberation movements were first targeted and invaded from the early to mid 1980s. Men hate to see women/lesbians become autonomous and powerful entities, and how dare they create a thriving and supportive culture and services for themselves and disempowered females in society! This is how concerted efforts began to undermine what once was, a powerful female centred movement, based on feminist principles. The T and Q ideologues manipulated themselves into the LGB rights movement on the back of the push for same sex marriage laws legislation in many countries. Having achieved that goal, they then went on to dominate the now LGBTIQA+ movement to quietly lobby government policy makers in most western countries to introduce 'gender equality' and 'transgender rights' legislation. They advocated for the abolition of rights of the basis of 'sex', effectively erasing any sex based rights suffragettes and feminists fought for for many decades. T and Q ideologues have powerful lawyer groups to back them up, like Denton's, and world medicine practitioners like WPATH, mostly dominant (transgender) males (Levine) driving their own (fetish and sexually deviant) agendas. Complete that with Big Pharma corporations smelling mega billions of profits, and you get the picture. LGB Alliances have formed in many countries, divorcing themselves from T & Q mass mind manipulation of world leaders and policy makers that prey on youngster in psychological crisis influenced by a very unsafe social media world where anything goes and nothing is regulated. Business modelling how to make 'gender affirming care' profitable have been rolled out online with little or no regulation. The gender transition business is booming! Tens of thousands of gender clinic 'professionals' and workers are making a living out of malpractices. We all need to be ultimate whistle blowers against this global contagion. The Time Is Now!
Thank you so much, Gaia. This is the best analysis I've seen. The lesbian-feminist critique of the male-centric LGBT is totally different than the uninformed, lesbophobic religious conservative one above it. The lesbian-feminist experience of this needs to be told, or told a lot more. There is more I'd like to add to it, from my observations and experiences. But mostly I'd like to get to know you better, if possible, as it's so refreshing to read what you're writing. Is there a way we can can "meet" online, outside of this post, to discuss what you've written further, and just get to know you? Substacks don't seem to provide a path to connect with other commenters that is private, such as DMs, to build ongoing working relationships or friendships. But I would appreciate that. There seems to be such a small community of lesbians familiar with the herstory you write of, who haven't been captured by the LGBT. Aside from a small number of women I talk with in WDI breakout rooms. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your compliment on my analysis. Much appreciated. The pennies still keep dropping in my head after decades of analyzing what has really happened since gender & queer ideology took over the world. Once upon a time California used to be THE hotbed of lesbian feminist activism and activity, specifically the Bay Area. Where are those feisty world changing lesfeminists now? Have they all died out or gone quiet? Are you on twitter GenCrit? I'm on there as @baubo60, you can DM me there. I sporadically use facebook, find me there as Baubina Phoenix. I follow WDI too but don't often attend live webinars but I do view their postings on youtube later. Excellent content & intelligent thinking womyn. Meanwhile until we have found a way to inter-personally connect, google Old Lesbians Organizing for Change, many of them are near you. See you soon! xx
I share that desire to meet lesbians and other feminists online who know this particular strain of LGBT/feminist history and the issues associated with it. (How does one join a WDI breakout room?) I read and listen to Kara Dansky, Gender Through a Wider Lens, Reduxx, Julie Bindel, Abigail Shrier, Lisa Selin Davis, Reality's Last Stand, etc. and wish I knew of more people to discuss these things with. One has to tread carefully in San Francisco, where I live. It's imperative to get the mainstream press to pick up on these issues, so gender critical won't be forever coded as right wing and transphobic.
It's time we get together! Form small groups in private settings and build and extend from there. What does this make me think off? Are we back in the 1960s? Such a set back! But if we must we will restart again. I'm saying this to young women too. Be autonomous, start small in trusted circles, bond and build up strength. Look above how to find me. You're following many of the criticals as I do. Awesome hard workers, all of them. See you soon Me! xx
I like your idea about small circles!. I've been thinking about big groups, but your idea about small groups is really smart. Yes, seems we're there again, back to the 60s. A small, group, even a few, or two, can get a lot done. And makes a big difference when speaking at a public meeting or visiting an elected in their office. And is a lot more fun. Thank you.
Yes, I completely agree. I'm an hour north of San Fran, so its nice to know you're in the same area. I have been trying to meet Bay Area and North Bay gen-crits, and it's really a challenge but here you are :)
The WDI breakout rooms are on Saturdays and Sundays. If you go to WDI's website, and look up the Saturday and Sunday Feminist Question Times, the breakout rooms are after the educational presentations from feminists around the world, all of which are women-only. To try to find women in my area, I include my region in my zoom name. I can't get to those meetings often, because they're at times convenient to the women in the UK who've created and staff them, but it would be nice to meet you there. If you find the info and plan to go this Saturday, please let me known in these comments, if you wish, and I'll try to be there. I can't even imagine how challenging it must be to be gen-crit in San Fran. Have you met other gen-crits in the City?
Don't confuse LGB and T. There's nothing wrong or harmful about being gay, just as there's nothing wrong with being straight -- no hormones or surgery. It doesn't matter whether you think sexual orientation is innate or environmentally influenced or both. If you read more on this subject, you'll see that trans ideology is most harmful to gay people -- many girls (especially girls) and boys who are gender-non-conforming are immediately categorized as trans, whereas until very recently it was recognized that most of them are just gay. Lots of studies show that a disproportionate number of kids who initially identify as trans eventually realize that they're gay. Trans ideology itself can be very homophobic.
I appreciate your respectful tone & desire to explain. Thank you. But I’ve heard all this before. I was a very active feminist myself many years ago. I’m sorry, but same SEX attraction isn’t normal. Desiring the emotional intimacy of friendship with someone of the same sex is normal. Sexualizing that relationship (i.e., seeking sexual gratification through physical stimulation & orgasm) is not normal. I don’t care if people engage in that behavior in the privacy of their bedroom, but it shouldn’t be normalized. Certain behaviors can be immoral without being illegal, such as gossip & gluttony. We don’t arrest people for those behaviors, but we shouldn’t condone them, either. Same is true with every aspect of LGBTQI+. It’s not normal behavior even though people practice it. Biology reveals & confirms this truth. I’m signing off on this topic because I’ve said all I want to say about it. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.
Compulsory heterosexuality has been very detrimental for scores of women & men. I rest my case too. We need to focus on the task at hand, and support the whistle blowers.
It's precisely this type of attitude that will stop many people from treating the issue of transitioning kids seriously and view everyone concerned as close-minded bigots. Comments like this make it easy for people on the left to lump talk therapy for trans identifying kids with conversion therapy. Nobody is medically harming gay kids for being gay. Homosexuality requires no medical intervention. If you are opposed to it on moral or religious grounds, that's your right but being gay in itself does not require dangerous hormones or surgeries. Can we please leave it out for now, while we are trying to save our kids' lives?
Why do we draw a line at T, really? Hmmm... maybe because we don't want our children to undergo irreversible and unneeded medical treatment, REGARDLESS of our moral, religious, or ethical differences?
While trying to understand your passion bc of the hurt you’ve endured it isn’t ok to trash someone who presents some valid points. We all here are outraged over the trans phenomenon & basically grooming of our youth.
However, per the comments you take issue with I have a thought. I’ll risk asking a question (but hope it doesn’t trigger attacks).
Would we be dealing with this trans phenomena without the LGB, etc. becoming so much in the forefront in the first place?
Read my comment above. Not so much about the LGB rights movement growing, but IMO, T & Q was a direct backlash against an autonomous women's sex based rights movement. And females coming into their own empowerment and taking on world leading roles. Now we see men who claim to be 'female', pushing those women out of the way so they can take on the patriarchal reigns again. Women's sport is the most visible form of this, being invaded by mediocre men with 'gender reassignment' certificates or even without that, to grab medals, trophies and top opportunities from female athletes.
I took the profanity out, that was indeed uncalled for. Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess if LGB wasn't in the forefront, who knows? That ship has sailed. My point is that if we want to win the war against unethical and dangerous treatment of trans-identifying kids, we should not antagonize everyone on the left and the entire gay community or we will most definitely lose. I am not arguing with Paula's view of homosexuality, we may have different opinions, but that's ok. Not a perfect comparison, but trying to go against all LGBT as a group, is a bit like being anti-guns and trying to ban all the guns. It's just not going to happen in America, but maybe we can get tighter regulations if people with different opinions talk (I am most certainly not interested in debating gun rights here, it's just an example).
Your analogy of a ship that has sailed is interesting. But I will take it a step further. If you think you can address the trans issue without exposing the underlying deceptions of the entire LGBTQ+ movement, then you’re just rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship.
Too bad you’ve been denied all the evidence of the damage that gay lifestyles do over time. The whistleblower medical professionals who’ve tried to expose these facts have been treated far worse than those who have told us about the dangers of the covid jab. Whether your left wing or right, truth wins in the end, even if it sometimes takes longer.
I'm drawing the line here Paula! You seem hell bent on finding a scapegoat! And I as a lifelong lesbian feminist who's happily reached 70 years of a fruitful life, won't be it. It could be a better idea to analyze what readily available and over-consumed online pornography has got to do with teens, and teen girls in particular, in crisis. And the portrayal of over-sexualized females in the male stream media.
Various theories about a biological basis for homosexuality (hormone wash, brain pathology, genetic variations, etc.) have been posited, but nothing has ever been proven. Even the LGBTQ+ activists have admitted there’s no scientific proof, but the legend of “born that way” has been a useful tool for advancing their agenda.
You are right. We parents know this stuff is happening everywhere, but I am still appalled and sickened to read about it. I will never become numb to this evil. I am so grateful for whistle blowers; may more come forward.
And for everyone else reading this, most of whom likely know firsthand similar stories to what she reported under oath, how do we support these people who speak out? Until the truth finally gets to everyone who's only heard that this is political (shame on those who pushed that lie!).
How about let's all write calm, respectful, logical, well-reasoned letters to the editor of her local newspapers.
She is going to need moral support in her local offline community, and backup for her facts. I'll look up the contact info and provide a brief sample letter, which all of you can modify as you wish. Please leave the other issues about LGBs out, (just as I will leave out how this is all a product of patriarchal religions and their claims of innate, male-dominant and female-subordinate sex roles.) We are here first and foremost for Jamie for her enormous risk taking, courage, and above all, telling facts many of us can corroborate from personal experience.
Great, thanks! I'll look her up. I usually write very short letters, just a few sentences, to get it done. (Otherwise, I'll turn it into a big project, get writer's phobia, and won't complete it.) But I will check her out. Thank you, amd thanks for your support for doing these letters!
By also following and supporting @Genspect on twitter and you tube. They are exposing malpractices backed up by professionals on a daily basis at the moment.
I’m a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents and young adults. All I can say is this: 8-12 months into just regular therapy, aka therapy that takes the main focus away from gender and reorients it back to what else is going on, most kids will begin to desist. It’s hard work. It involves kids who have multiple comorbidities and very often complicated, uncooperative families. It’s so much easier to turf them out to “gender specialists”, which is a bogus category in and of itself. Please understand that the shift from Gender Identity Disorder (DSM-4) to Gender Dysphoria (DSM-5) had a clear purpose: to de-pathologize disorders of gender identity while providing billable codes to enable access to transgender health care.
Thank you for your information and work, Magpie. Its terrific what you do, that you're here, and I really appreciate that we can learn from your expertise.
Gender Dysphoria is, in my opinion, a garbage category. And a dangerous one at that. Most people don’t know the first thing about the DSM, its evolution, its purpose, what it is and isn’t. And it’s treated like it’s some kind of gospel. It’s not. All it does is provide some common language and billable codes. It does not inform treatment or prognosis.
Thank you so much for posting that story link. The NYT doesn't cover this issue often but they do occasionally. When will the medical community finally realise the connections here: Highly intelligent - autistic/ADHD - sensitive - artsy - emotional dysregulation - depression - trauma - attention-seeking - Munchausen - Covid lockdowns - socially isolated - Tik Tok - trans/nonbinary???
Everything in this article applies so much - including the destructive use of drugs - antidepressants - that did nothing for the teenager's tiks but had negative side effects. He is still trying to get off of them.
The article left me wondering whether the reporter wants to close the loop but is stuck in this nonsense of calling the young man "they, and is generally unable to have an opinion regarding GI?
But, the doctors seem profoundly unable to close the loop. Aidan even says:
"“After a year of therapy, I came to the conclusion that labels are stupid,” Aidan said. “I’m just out here.”" But, he and the doctors do not apply that to his gender label.
Yes - astounding and a dereliction of care. Maybe experts like the "nonbinary" neurologist Dr. Z Paige L’Erario actively don't want to see it. All these confused kids help troubled adults feel good about themselves.
I'm very impressed that you're a genuine gender-critical psychologist who is not ideologically captured, and that you're able to work around the affirmative model. I know that in some places a psychologist who doesn't affirm can be accused of "conversion therapy." Without asking you to risk your identity or privacy in any way, does word-of-mouth bring your clients to you or are you able to advertise? As you know, we need hundreds more therapists just like you.
Magpie, I appreciate you being on the right side of history in this fight as a clinical psychologist. Thank you!
As a mom who trusted her daughter’s “therapist” in dealing with those comorbidities you speak of, only to be blindsided by a transgender coming out in a family meeting, I am hard pressed to trust ANYONE at this point with my family’s mental emotional and physical health care needs other than myself and my husband, and I am an RN!! I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years and I will say I am angry frustrated and ashamed at what has evolved into a very dark gaslit destructive invasion of autonomy in nursing. The demand for training in DEI under the guise of being kind, knowing full well how destructive this ideology is and not being allowed a platform to question anything makes me physically ill. DEI is everything it says it’s not, pretending that it is. It doesn’t get more toxic.
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this at work in the medical profession. It's absolutely shocking that so many in that field, even, have been captured. Are you affiliated with any organizations for science or healthcare professionals for support, idea-sharing, and organizing, please?
I used to work at a college for many years. I was told I had to display my pronouns in my bio and signature. I refused. I instead stated, “Don’t worry about misgendering me. Your perception will be spot on.” They really didn’t like that. So I left and I never looked back.
I love your reply. Calm, polite, professional, accurate, educational, and affirming of people's abilities of perception regarding one's sex. Thank you. May I borrow and share that?
Most families appreciate guidance in order to create a home environment that will support desistance. Very often that means being flexible about certain things that aren’t necessarily gender related (chores, grades, clothing, hair, etc...), but rather an attempt at individuation. The war isn’t with the child. It’s with the ideology. And with any war, some battle are best lost for a greater chance at winning the war. Some parents are simply unwilling to lose a battle or two.
Thank you for the important work you are doing. Jamie points out at the end of her affidavit that they did not use the gender dysphoria billable codes for prescribing puberty blockers for gender dysphoria but fraudulently used codes for precocious puberty — their on label use.
They may not be irrational, as it would be rational to assume given the awful things they are doing. They may simply be cold-blooded con artists only in it for the buck and not caring who they harm. There's probably a mix of both types.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) -- or Munchausen by proxy -- is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care. Münchausen syndrome by proxy or MSP is a relatively rare behavioral disorder. It affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in their care. As health care providers strive to identify what's causing the child's symptoms, the deliberate actions of the parent or caretaker can often make the symptoms worse-WebMD
In my experience as a working RN in the climate of transgender ideology, I am convinced MSP is a major force that should be investigated as one of the many driving factors moving parents towards affirmative care of their children claiming transgender identity.
The unspoken claim seems to be that the parents and others who affirm this ideology are somehow “above” or “more evolved” or “self-actualized” or “transcendent” as compared to those of us who do not ascribe to the delusion. Affirmation, therefore, is and must be on the right side of history as being part of the forward progression of the human rights movement.
I think that is part of it. But, if you are just a normal mom and you learn that you daughter has been going by a false name and opposite pronoun in high school and try to talk to a teacher about it - they will beam at you and patronize you. "It's so wonderful! No, we won't stop using the name and pronoun - you dinosaur mom who doesn't understand her own child." When you are upset, the counselor will try to send you to a support group for parents of trans identified kids. Those groups are really about getting the parents to become believers and move the kid along the psych and medical "affirmation of their true self" path. These groups are so evil. Lots of mothers fall into that trap. All the experts and neighbors say it's true!
"Affirmation, therefore, is and must be on the right side of history as being part of the forward progression of the human rights movement" That's certainly the line.
Yes LovingMother, I don’t disagree with you that the masses are lining up ready to fill parents with patronizing, dismissive responses for just wanting to ask questions about their ideological push on kids in schools. I’ve been on the receiving end of the looks & name calling. These people are EVIL! They ensnare our hearts by lying saying these kids will commit suicide if they are not affirmed!! It’s disgusting. Taking advantage of caring families and causing divide and separation has no room in this world. Permission granted for all of us to just say NO! To the teachers, counselors, doctors, nurses and the activist agenda. You keep being the best mom you know how and listen to your heart-it tells truth, not lies. My thoughts are with you!
Jamie’s story and affidavit make me more optimistic than ever that this horrible industry will fall. However, as someone who has been in this fight for 5 years, there are in fact many things that were beyond even my knowledge and are exceedingly disturbing.
I peaked in 2017 and I keep learning new things about this ideology and the harms done by it every time I think there isn't anything new to learn. It's like lobotomies, thalidomide for pregnant women, and blanket prescription of SSRIs for everything from depression to a patient going into a care facility, either for rehab or permanent residence, all rolled into one.
Those medical missteps had backing from the media (I can remember plenty of articles cheering SSRIs as "wonder drugs") but they never had the kind of cheerleading from governments and even support from the police that the trans/queer theory mess does. Fighter planes never flew overhead with banners proclaiming "I Heart Prozac." They did fly overhead making smoke trails in the colors of the trans flag. To me, this is extremely ominous, even more frightening than the way the pharmaceutical industry tried to keep the harms done by thalidomide or SSRIs from the public.
As for lobotomies, while they certainly happened and were an absolute horror, they were rare enough that many people didn't even believe they were a reality. The general public supports transgender surgeries to the point of ostracizing anyone who questions the safety or validity of such procedures and ostracizing anyone who questions the doctrine of Gender.
I’m just going to ask that we all keep to the topic of how this ideology is ruining our lives and the lives of our kids. Thank goodness for the whistleblowers who can come out and speak freely when most of us are unable to because we want to protect the identities of our kids. We do what we can in the moment. We are all coming from different walks of life and each of these walks is important. Please keep the kids in mind....not our party line, not our religion, not conservative or progressive, not male or female, not sexual orientation. Focus here will only keep us divided which is what the Transgender Activists want! This is not about any of that. It is so much deeper & darker. What I would encourage is to research the history of Nazi Germany and the different ministers assigned, the physicians who were experimenting on kids, the history of sexology, the history of Eugenics and the history of cults. Some other people to consider in this fight who are being quite vocal and making real changes with regard to transgender ideology are Genevieve Gluck, Matt Walsh, Dave Rubin, Jennifer Lahl, & Glenn Beck. Remember we do not HAVE to agree with everyone about every thing. We just have to agree on this one thing. And we might learn something from eachother along the way! I’m in this until the end. No looking back.
Although this did not happen in a gender clinic, I think it constitutes medical malpractice: I took my 16-year-old self-identified FTM child to a pediatrician for the first time. My daughter asked for birth control pills to stop her period. In response, the doctor offered my daughter testosterone. Not a single question was asked. We had met the doctor for the first time literally 5 minutes earlier.
Burnie, that's awful. Would you please send that to the same news organization that published Jamie Reed's piece? And to others, such as your state chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the national AAP, and to your state legislators, and Congresspeople, please? They need to all hear from us, or this will never end.
I hope it was also the last time you saw that doctor. Also, another reason to always say "No" when a doctor asks a parent to leave the room to talk to a child in private.
Let them think we are overprotective weirdos, why should we care.
We must all stand for Truth. Love without Truth is the opposite of good. Today any new sexual activity, sexual look, sexual dress anything someone does with their genitalia must be celebrated as adding to the height of humanity and our magnificence, what absolute rubbish. It's paganism, it is pure evil. The demons rejoice, God cries. Be on the side of God, we can all at least do that.
I am so proud of this woman and so thrilled that she has found the courage to speak out. May more follow!
What an amazing piece! I'm sharing. God bless the whistleblowers!
Can we better define whistleblower? My story https://pitt.substack.com/p/beware-of-sending-your-smart-kids is about my 17 who then turned 18 yr old before the university health clinic prescribed estrogen after three visits. But my experience (plus having part of his file with documented entries showing how the nurse practitioner ignored his possible Co morbidities) seems like it might qualify as a STORY to share, but there’s nothing in terms of legal action that I can take due to his age.
Serious question--Where would I go to blow that whistle?? can this be done without legal action? Thanks!
Political and medical association action. After 3 visits? With what professionals, each time, please? Please provide more details that you believe are significant from a medical or political standpoint, if you have more. 3 visits blows apart the claims of an in-depth relationship with the provider before providing hormones. How long had your son been identifying as trans? Is he still on the drugs? How long ago did this happen? Is he contemplating surgery? I would suggest putting any of that in both an email at each of the following websites, and a snail mail to Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, your Congressional representatives, your state legislators, your local city counci and board of Supervisors, the city council and board of supervisors for the city and county your son's school is in, the president and head of student affairs of your son's university, thr Board of Directors of the university and the clinic, and a letter of complaint to the head of that clinic. Also, the national and your state's chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the AMA. In short, anyone and everyone you can think of. Also, the chairs of your local and state Democrat and Republican parties.
Everyone should know what was done, why you believe this was wrong, and how it is affecting your son, your other kids, you, his father, and your son's future.
If we don't complain to everyone and everyone, nothing will change. They will be able to keep lying and deceoving and having their heads in the sand, and this will keep happening. Once you have your letter written (one page, max), including a few websites you want them to look at, you can and should send it to everyone you can think of. It helps to paste it into politician's web sites, as that's how they take email, at least those at the state and federal levels. Also, request a meeting with all of your electeds, local, state and national. Bring your son's father, or a friend, or a woman from the local Republican or Dem party. You can also contact local reporters and see if they'll let you correspond with them just using your initials. Tie your story into recent news items, so they can use it from a newsworthy angle, maybe theyll include your story as part of a piece about the current legislation happening nationally.
I'm sorry this hapoened, and wish you the best for your son and you, and in speaking up for your son and preventing this for other kids at his college.
I think the rule — not the exception — is a prescription after 1-2 visits. If everyone this happened to can email pitt@genspect.org and comment here, that would be very helpful.
Also, a great role model for taking all kinds of action is Erin Brewer, in Utah.. She's a dynamo. You can look her up on Facebook if you're on there. I'm not really on Twitter, so I don't know if she's active on there. I'm sure she would love to team with you or give you ideas.
Email pitt@genspect.org (added to top paragraph). There is likely something you can do.
The legacy press, I assume, is looking very closely to see if other whistle blowers come forward. It’s like Harvey Weinstein. As soon as one named woman went on the record, others followed suit. Ideally, a blue state whistle blower needs to come forward - legacy media can ignore Josh Hawley and red state politicians. Harder to ignore when it comes out of Boston or another blue state. Imo! If this is as wide spread as claimed, I bet a lot of clinics are very busy tidying up their paperwork and policies. And reviewing their D&O insurance!
Excellent! Now here is a challenge most of you won’t like. Will you consider that the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum is based on deception? It’s not just the T, but all of it. Unfortunately, the majority of people in our culture have become acclimated into thinking LGB is normal. This site effectively demonstrates that T is not. I’m challenging you to rethink the entire LGBTQ+ paradigm. Why draw the line at T? Most LGBTQ+ manifestations are responses to trauma. All LGBTQ+ ideology ends up harming people in the long run. There isn’t a shred of proof that any of it is intrinsic (born that way). Save yourself the time & energy of calling me homophonic & all the other ad hominem attacks that come with not affirming LGB. I’ve heard it all before. I’m the ultimate whistleblower.
If all this T stuff would actually come from LGB, and not mostly men, then the T would not be so hell bent on converting all LGB-people.
It all started from men, not LGB, men with different reasons; paraphilias, narcissism etc
It was that group that piggybacked on this.
Just as they then grab and piggyback on for example anti-racism. Lumping themselves in with an oppressed group / minority group is a manipulative and effective way of getting peoples automatic empathy.
It is a strategy, and visible in their fast succession as they then grab and take over each movement they ...well, infest.
Women, LGB, anti-racism, what’s next?
There in fact is scientific research that shows certain biological possibilities of certain variables more found in gay people, of course more research is welcomed-there is still to remember that these two, LGB and T etc are not in any way comparable, one of them does not want else than to have a right to a private life without judgement and harassment, the other harasses if they do not get all they want regardless of how it affects others.
They also demand and “need” operations, costly to society etc. and mutilation of even kids.
Homosexuality is also found in the animalkingdom, mammals, as transsexual tendencies of mammals only is shown for sc. very heterosexual reasons.
Thank you for this perspective. You're right, it is mostly men who are attached to their power positions in society, backed up by millennia of war mongering and dominant patriarchal institutions and structures. What we are seeing now is how far men will go to reinstate their dominance, particularly when women came into their own, and rose to power positions, and established sex based support groups around birth control, equal pay for equal work, demand for shared child raising etc., to lift up other women trapped in subservience and slavery. What a clever kind of trickery (I call it mind fuckery) of men to 'become' women and take charge of all achievements women have worked hard for to raise the status of women in society. And LGB people who tenaciously chipped away at homo-lesbophobic attitudes to claim equal human rights. Of course these disenfranchised men plotted to get to the kids of the future, the very core or heart of future humane and egalitarian societies. Disrupting their developments not only sees LGB conversion back into 1950s conservatism, but also divides progressive societies into age old violent war parties. HIStory repeated! We must find a way to expose and dismantle (=bring down patriarchy) this while safeguarding uprooted and vulnerable children (and women!) who are subjected to this and used for very dark secret agendas. I see shades of Marquis de Sade. Google his name.
Well written - trickery indeed!
What better and insidious of a way to negate all we’ve fought for.
Oh the shades are there, de Sade and all-it seems every generation gets a prominent archetype of those.
We do need to do all possible, we can’t let this slide - disrupt, dismantle and disarm the patriarchy.
We're on the way of doing just that! With combined female intelligence. The Amazon warriors of today are in extremely good company! :))
Yes we are :D !!!
Lesbian feminists divorced G&B decades ago due to persistent misogyny and lesbophobia among gay and bisexual males. When transsexuals aligned with men's rights movements, the women's and lesbian liberation movements were first targeted and invaded from the early to mid 1980s. Men hate to see women/lesbians become autonomous and powerful entities, and how dare they create a thriving and supportive culture and services for themselves and disempowered females in society! This is how concerted efforts began to undermine what once was, a powerful female centred movement, based on feminist principles. The T and Q ideologues manipulated themselves into the LGB rights movement on the back of the push for same sex marriage laws legislation in many countries. Having achieved that goal, they then went on to dominate the now LGBTIQA+ movement to quietly lobby government policy makers in most western countries to introduce 'gender equality' and 'transgender rights' legislation. They advocated for the abolition of rights of the basis of 'sex', effectively erasing any sex based rights suffragettes and feminists fought for for many decades. T and Q ideologues have powerful lawyer groups to back them up, like Denton's, and world medicine practitioners like WPATH, mostly dominant (transgender) males (Levine) driving their own (fetish and sexually deviant) agendas. Complete that with Big Pharma corporations smelling mega billions of profits, and you get the picture. LGB Alliances have formed in many countries, divorcing themselves from T & Q mass mind manipulation of world leaders and policy makers that prey on youngster in psychological crisis influenced by a very unsafe social media world where anything goes and nothing is regulated. Business modelling how to make 'gender affirming care' profitable have been rolled out online with little or no regulation. The gender transition business is booming! Tens of thousands of gender clinic 'professionals' and workers are making a living out of malpractices. We all need to be ultimate whistle blowers against this global contagion. The Time Is Now!
Thank you so much, Gaia. This is the best analysis I've seen. The lesbian-feminist critique of the male-centric LGBT is totally different than the uninformed, lesbophobic religious conservative one above it. The lesbian-feminist experience of this needs to be told, or told a lot more. There is more I'd like to add to it, from my observations and experiences. But mostly I'd like to get to know you better, if possible, as it's so refreshing to read what you're writing. Is there a way we can can "meet" online, outside of this post, to discuss what you've written further, and just get to know you? Substacks don't seem to provide a path to connect with other commenters that is private, such as DMs, to build ongoing working relationships or friendships. But I would appreciate that. There seems to be such a small community of lesbians familiar with the herstory you write of, who haven't been captured by the LGBT. Aside from a small number of women I talk with in WDI breakout rooms. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your compliment on my analysis. Much appreciated. The pennies still keep dropping in my head after decades of analyzing what has really happened since gender & queer ideology took over the world. Once upon a time California used to be THE hotbed of lesbian feminist activism and activity, specifically the Bay Area. Where are those feisty world changing lesfeminists now? Have they all died out or gone quiet? Are you on twitter GenCrit? I'm on there as @baubo60, you can DM me there. I sporadically use facebook, find me there as Baubina Phoenix. I follow WDI too but don't often attend live webinars but I do view their postings on youtube later. Excellent content & intelligent thinking womyn. Meanwhile until we have found a way to inter-personally connect, google Old Lesbians Organizing for Change, many of them are near you. See you soon! xx
I share that desire to meet lesbians and other feminists online who know this particular strain of LGBT/feminist history and the issues associated with it. (How does one join a WDI breakout room?) I read and listen to Kara Dansky, Gender Through a Wider Lens, Reduxx, Julie Bindel, Abigail Shrier, Lisa Selin Davis, Reality's Last Stand, etc. and wish I knew of more people to discuss these things with. One has to tread carefully in San Francisco, where I live. It's imperative to get the mainstream press to pick up on these issues, so gender critical won't be forever coded as right wing and transphobic.
It's time we get together! Form small groups in private settings and build and extend from there. What does this make me think off? Are we back in the 1960s? Such a set back! But if we must we will restart again. I'm saying this to young women too. Be autonomous, start small in trusted circles, bond and build up strength. Look above how to find me. You're following many of the criticals as I do. Awesome hard workers, all of them. See you soon Me! xx
I like your idea about small circles!. I've been thinking about big groups, but your idea about small groups is really smart. Yes, seems we're there again, back to the 60s. A small, group, even a few, or two, can get a lot done. And makes a big difference when speaking at a public meeting or visiting an elected in their office. And is a lot more fun. Thank you.
AND see you online somewhere! xx
Yes, I completely agree. I'm an hour north of San Fran, so its nice to know you're in the same area. I have been trying to meet Bay Area and North Bay gen-crits, and it's really a challenge but here you are :)
The WDI breakout rooms are on Saturdays and Sundays. If you go to WDI's website, and look up the Saturday and Sunday Feminist Question Times, the breakout rooms are after the educational presentations from feminists around the world, all of which are women-only. To try to find women in my area, I include my region in my zoom name. I can't get to those meetings often, because they're at times convenient to the women in the UK who've created and staff them, but it would be nice to meet you there. If you find the info and plan to go this Saturday, please let me known in these comments, if you wish, and I'll try to be there. I can't even imagine how challenging it must be to be gen-crit in San Fran. Have you met other gen-crits in the City?
Yes i get emails from them about zooms, but so far rhe times haven’t worked. I’ll try to make it this saturday! Thank you.
Ok, great! I will too.
Right on, sister.
Thank you! xx
Don't confuse LGB and T. There's nothing wrong or harmful about being gay, just as there's nothing wrong with being straight -- no hormones or surgery. It doesn't matter whether you think sexual orientation is innate or environmentally influenced or both. If you read more on this subject, you'll see that trans ideology is most harmful to gay people -- many girls (especially girls) and boys who are gender-non-conforming are immediately categorized as trans, whereas until very recently it was recognized that most of them are just gay. Lots of studies show that a disproportionate number of kids who initially identify as trans eventually realize that they're gay. Trans ideology itself can be very homophobic.
I’m confusing nothing. Denying biological reality is the underlying deception of all LGBTQ+ ideology.
Paula, that's your assumption about LGBs. And not all of us agree with the "born this way" theory.
Not true! LGB Alliances are 100% about biological reality and same SEX attraction.
I appreciate your respectful tone & desire to explain. Thank you. But I’ve heard all this before. I was a very active feminist myself many years ago. I’m sorry, but same SEX attraction isn’t normal. Desiring the emotional intimacy of friendship with someone of the same sex is normal. Sexualizing that relationship (i.e., seeking sexual gratification through physical stimulation & orgasm) is not normal. I don’t care if people engage in that behavior in the privacy of their bedroom, but it shouldn’t be normalized. Certain behaviors can be immoral without being illegal, such as gossip & gluttony. We don’t arrest people for those behaviors, but we shouldn’t condone them, either. Same is true with every aspect of LGBTQI+. It’s not normal behavior even though people practice it. Biology reveals & confirms this truth. I’m signing off on this topic because I’ve said all I want to say about it. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.
Compulsory heterosexuality has been very detrimental for scores of women & men. I rest my case too. We need to focus on the task at hand, and support the whistle blowers.
It's precisely this type of attitude that will stop many people from treating the issue of transitioning kids seriously and view everyone concerned as close-minded bigots. Comments like this make it easy for people on the left to lump talk therapy for trans identifying kids with conversion therapy. Nobody is medically harming gay kids for being gay. Homosexuality requires no medical intervention. If you are opposed to it on moral or religious grounds, that's your right but being gay in itself does not require dangerous hormones or surgeries. Can we please leave it out for now, while we are trying to save our kids' lives?
Why do we draw a line at T, really? Hmmm... maybe because we don't want our children to undergo irreversible and unneeded medical treatment, REGARDLESS of our moral, religious, or ethical differences?
While trying to understand your passion bc of the hurt you’ve endured it isn’t ok to trash someone who presents some valid points. We all here are outraged over the trans phenomenon & basically grooming of our youth.
However, per the comments you take issue with I have a thought. I’ll risk asking a question (but hope it doesn’t trigger attacks).
Would we be dealing with this trans phenomena without the LGB, etc. becoming so much in the forefront in the first place?
Read my comment above. Not so much about the LGB rights movement growing, but IMO, T & Q was a direct backlash against an autonomous women's sex based rights movement. And females coming into their own empowerment and taking on world leading roles. Now we see men who claim to be 'female', pushing those women out of the way so they can take on the patriarchal reigns again. Women's sport is the most visible form of this, being invaded by mediocre men with 'gender reassignment' certificates or even without that, to grab medals, trophies and top opportunities from female athletes.
Well said.
I took the profanity out, that was indeed uncalled for. Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess if LGB wasn't in the forefront, who knows? That ship has sailed. My point is that if we want to win the war against unethical and dangerous treatment of trans-identifying kids, we should not antagonize everyone on the left and the entire gay community or we will most definitely lose. I am not arguing with Paula's view of homosexuality, we may have different opinions, but that's ok. Not a perfect comparison, but trying to go against all LGBT as a group, is a bit like being anti-guns and trying to ban all the guns. It's just not going to happen in America, but maybe we can get tighter regulations if people with different opinions talk (I am most certainly not interested in debating gun rights here, it's just an example).
Your analogy of a ship that has sailed is interesting. But I will take it a step further. If you think you can address the trans issue without exposing the underlying deceptions of the entire LGBTQ+ movement, then you’re just rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship.
Too bad you’ve been denied all the evidence of the damage that gay lifestyles do over time. The whistleblower medical professionals who’ve tried to expose these facts have been treated far worse than those who have told us about the dangers of the covid jab. Whether your left wing or right, truth wins in the end, even if it sometimes takes longer.
I'm drawing the line here Paula! You seem hell bent on finding a scapegoat! And I as a lifelong lesbian feminist who's happily reached 70 years of a fruitful life, won't be it. It could be a better idea to analyze what readily available and over-consumed online pornography has got to do with teens, and teen girls in particular, in crisis. And the portrayal of over-sexualized females in the male stream media.
It's not only black and white. There are some studies about male homosexuality and certain kind of antibodies in mother's blood.
Various theories about a biological basis for homosexuality (hormone wash, brain pathology, genetic variations, etc.) have been posited, but nothing has ever been proven. Even the LGBTQ+ activists have admitted there’s no scientific proof, but the legend of “born that way” has been a useful tool for advancing their agenda.
You are right. We parents know this stuff is happening everywhere, but I am still appalled and sickened to read about it. I will never become numb to this evil. I am so grateful for whistle blowers; may more come forward.
Thank you, Jamie Reed!
Thank you so much Jamie Reed!!!!!
You are saving trans kids.
And for everyone else reading this, most of whom likely know firsthand similar stories to what she reported under oath, how do we support these people who speak out? Until the truth finally gets to everyone who's only heard that this is political (shame on those who pushed that lie!).
How about let's all write calm, respectful, logical, well-reasoned letters to the editor of her local newspapers.
She is going to need moral support in her local offline community, and backup for her facts. I'll look up the contact info and provide a brief sample letter, which all of you can modify as you wish. Please leave the other issues about LGBs out, (just as I will leave out how this is all a product of patriarchal religions and their claims of innate, male-dominant and female-subordinate sex roles.) We are here first and foremost for Jamie for her enormous risk taking, courage, and above all, telling facts many of us can corroborate from personal experience.
How about it? Check back here in 24 hours.
This is a great idea if you have time.
Lisa Selin Davis had a great article on this story too, maybe can be quoted or incorporated for ideas?
Great, thanks! I'll look her up. I usually write very short letters, just a few sentences, to get it done. (Otherwise, I'll turn it into a big project, get writer's phobia, and won't complete it.) But I will check her out. Thank you, amd thanks for your support for doing these letters!
Short is good!
Ok, thank you! <3
By also following and supporting @Genspect on twitter and you tube. They are exposing malpractices backed up by professionals on a daily basis at the moment.
Organize financial help and lawyers for the detransitioners through crowdfunding?
I’m a clinical psychologist who works with adolescents and young adults. All I can say is this: 8-12 months into just regular therapy, aka therapy that takes the main focus away from gender and reorients it back to what else is going on, most kids will begin to desist. It’s hard work. It involves kids who have multiple comorbidities and very often complicated, uncooperative families. It’s so much easier to turf them out to “gender specialists”, which is a bogus category in and of itself. Please understand that the shift from Gender Identity Disorder (DSM-4) to Gender Dysphoria (DSM-5) had a clear purpose: to de-pathologize disorders of gender identity while providing billable codes to enable access to transgender health care.
Thank you for your information and work, Magpie. Its terrific what you do, that you're here, and I really appreciate that we can learn from your expertise.
I will write Gender Identity Disorder from now on - not that these teens suffer from it.
Interesting idea. Thank you, Loving Mother.
Magpie, what would you suggest we refer to it as, if I may ask, please? In case there's another term?
Gender Dysphoria is, in my opinion, a garbage category. And a dangerous one at that. Most people don’t know the first thing about the DSM, its evolution, its purpose, what it is and isn’t. And it’s treated like it’s some kind of gospel. It’s not. All it does is provide some common language and billable codes. It does not inform treatment or prognosis.
See any similarities with this article? NYT How Teens Recovered From the ‘TikTok Tics’ https://archive.is/AQw7u.
Thank you so much for posting that story link. The NYT doesn't cover this issue often but they do occasionally. When will the medical community finally realise the connections here: Highly intelligent - autistic/ADHD - sensitive - artsy - emotional dysregulation - depression - trauma - attention-seeking - Munchausen - Covid lockdowns - socially isolated - Tik Tok - trans/nonbinary???
Everything in this article applies so much - including the destructive use of drugs - antidepressants - that did nothing for the teenager's tiks but had negative side effects. He is still trying to get off of them.
The article left me wondering whether the reporter wants to close the loop but is stuck in this nonsense of calling the young man "they, and is generally unable to have an opinion regarding GI?
But, the doctors seem profoundly unable to close the loop. Aidan even says:
"“After a year of therapy, I came to the conclusion that labels are stupid,” Aidan said. “I’m just out here.”" But, he and the doctors do not apply that to his gender label.
Oh, My, God. Thank you for that. They just have to connect the final dot... But, will they?
I hope so. It's astounding that they don't see it. A dereliction of care.
Yes - astounding and a dereliction of care. Maybe experts like the "nonbinary" neurologist Dr. Z Paige L’Erario actively don't want to see it. All these confused kids help troubled adults feel good about themselves.
And the rest are afraid.
I'm very impressed that you're a genuine gender-critical psychologist who is not ideologically captured, and that you're able to work around the affirmative model. I know that in some places a psychologist who doesn't affirm can be accused of "conversion therapy." Without asking you to risk your identity or privacy in any way, does word-of-mouth bring your clients to you or are you able to advertise? As you know, we need hundreds more therapists just like you.
You can find me and others like me at genderexploratory.com
Fantastic. Thank you very much.
Magpie, I appreciate you being on the right side of history in this fight as a clinical psychologist. Thank you!
As a mom who trusted her daughter’s “therapist” in dealing with those comorbidities you speak of, only to be blindsided by a transgender coming out in a family meeting, I am hard pressed to trust ANYONE at this point with my family’s mental emotional and physical health care needs other than myself and my husband, and I am an RN!! I have worked in healthcare for over 20 years and I will say I am angry frustrated and ashamed at what has evolved into a very dark gaslit destructive invasion of autonomy in nursing. The demand for training in DEI under the guise of being kind, knowing full well how destructive this ideology is and not being allowed a platform to question anything makes me physically ill. DEI is everything it says it’s not, pretending that it is. It doesn’t get more toxic.
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this at work in the medical profession. It's absolutely shocking that so many in that field, even, have been captured. Are you affiliated with any organizations for science or healthcare professionals for support, idea-sharing, and organizing, please?
The Center for Bioethics and Culture
& Do No Harm
These are the two that I know of. I’m sure there are more.
Wow, what an unbearable workplaces have been created. Keep seeing and telling the truth! Even if it cost us our livelihoods.
I feel rage every time I see a pronoun in someone's signature at work (and I work with MDs/nurses/PhDs). Thankfully, not many people do... so far.
I used to work at a college for many years. I was told I had to display my pronouns in my bio and signature. I refused. I instead stated, “Don’t worry about misgendering me. Your perception will be spot on.” They really didn’t like that. So I left and I never looked back.
I've taken to saying "I decline to identity signal."
MM - ha!
I love your reply. Calm, polite, professional, accurate, educational, and affirming of people's abilities of perception regarding one's sex. Thank you. May I borrow and share that?
Share away!
So, in other words, “follow the money”...
Complicated, uncooperative families? Where are your families referred from?
Most families appreciate guidance in order to create a home environment that will support desistance. Very often that means being flexible about certain things that aren’t necessarily gender related (chores, grades, clothing, hair, etc...), but rather an attempt at individuation. The war isn’t with the child. It’s with the ideology. And with any war, some battle are best lost for a greater chance at winning the war. Some parents are simply unwilling to lose a battle or two.
Thank you for the important work you are doing. Jamie points out at the end of her affidavit that they did not use the gender dysphoria billable codes for prescribing puberty blockers for gender dysphoria but fraudulently used codes for precocious puberty — their on label use.
Also they use ‘endocrine disorder’ as a billable code.
Then this must be easy to sue? Precocious puberty can be easy diagnosed. Pediatricians of the kids should have had records, if it really were the case
It is not easy because we need more whistleblowers.
It's hard to believe, that these kind of "doctors" who treated childreen, aren't the patients of psychiatric facility.
Some of them are just greedy.
They may not be irrational, as it would be rational to assume given the awful things they are doing. They may simply be cold-blooded con artists only in it for the buck and not caring who they harm. There's probably a mix of both types.
Or in jail. Sued first, and then in jail. I hope it happens soon.
I wonder if the female doctors would be ok with "transwomen" as cellmates.
Lol.
Parents have been demonized for trying to care for their kids by those who do not live with the kids.
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
Written by WebMD Editorial Contributors
Medically Reviewed by Smitha Bhandari, MD on August 25, 2022
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) -- or Munchausen by proxy -- is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care. Münchausen syndrome by proxy or MSP is a relatively rare behavioral disorder. It affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in their care. As health care providers strive to identify what's causing the child's symptoms, the deliberate actions of the parent or caretaker can often make the symptoms worse-WebMD
In my experience as a working RN in the climate of transgender ideology, I am convinced MSP is a major force that should be investigated as one of the many driving factors moving parents towards affirmative care of their children claiming transgender identity.
The unspoken claim seems to be that the parents and others who affirm this ideology are somehow “above” or “more evolved” or “self-actualized” or “transcendent” as compared to those of us who do not ascribe to the delusion. Affirmation, therefore, is and must be on the right side of history as being part of the forward progression of the human rights movement.
I think that is part of it. But, if you are just a normal mom and you learn that you daughter has been going by a false name and opposite pronoun in high school and try to talk to a teacher about it - they will beam at you and patronize you. "It's so wonderful! No, we won't stop using the name and pronoun - you dinosaur mom who doesn't understand her own child." When you are upset, the counselor will try to send you to a support group for parents of trans identified kids. Those groups are really about getting the parents to become believers and move the kid along the psych and medical "affirmation of their true self" path. These groups are so evil. Lots of mothers fall into that trap. All the experts and neighbors say it's true!
"Affirmation, therefore, is and must be on the right side of history as being part of the forward progression of the human rights movement" That's certainly the line.
Yes LovingMother, I don’t disagree with you that the masses are lining up ready to fill parents with patronizing, dismissive responses for just wanting to ask questions about their ideological push on kids in schools. I’ve been on the receiving end of the looks & name calling. These people are EVIL! They ensnare our hearts by lying saying these kids will commit suicide if they are not affirmed!! It’s disgusting. Taking advantage of caring families and causing divide and separation has no room in this world. Permission granted for all of us to just say NO! To the teachers, counselors, doctors, nurses and the activist agenda. You keep being the best mom you know how and listen to your heart-it tells truth, not lies. My thoughts are with you!
This is one of the clues for the detoriation of mental health. "Demonic" parents make the already unstable kids even more insecure.
Whistles also need to be blown on private practice clinicians providing letters of readiness for medical transition.
They're being named in at least one lawsuit I know of.
I assume you're referring to Chloe Cole. Her lawsuit names the perpetrators.
Jamie’s story and affidavit make me more optimistic than ever that this horrible industry will fall. However, as someone who has been in this fight for 5 years, there are in fact many things that were beyond even my knowledge and are exceedingly disturbing.
I peaked in 2017 and I keep learning new things about this ideology and the harms done by it every time I think there isn't anything new to learn. It's like lobotomies, thalidomide for pregnant women, and blanket prescription of SSRIs for everything from depression to a patient going into a care facility, either for rehab or permanent residence, all rolled into one.
Those medical missteps had backing from the media (I can remember plenty of articles cheering SSRIs as "wonder drugs") but they never had the kind of cheerleading from governments and even support from the police that the trans/queer theory mess does. Fighter planes never flew overhead with banners proclaiming "I Heart Prozac." They did fly overhead making smoke trails in the colors of the trans flag. To me, this is extremely ominous, even more frightening than the way the pharmaceutical industry tried to keep the harms done by thalidomide or SSRIs from the public.
As for lobotomies, while they certainly happened and were an absolute horror, they were rare enough that many people didn't even believe they were a reality. The general public supports transgender surgeries to the point of ostracizing anyone who questions the safety or validity of such procedures and ostracizing anyone who questions the doctrine of Gender.
