Fact-Checking the HHS

Two months ago, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued an official document “Gender Affirming Care and Young People.” In a recent blog the Society For Evidence Based Gender Medicine fact-checked this important document and found an alarming number of errors and misrepresentations.

SEGM is an international group of over 100 clinicians and researchers concerned about the lack of quality evidence for the use of hormonal and surgical interventions as first-line treatment for young people with gender dysphoria. They represent expertise from a range of clinical disciplines.

Here are the bullet points of their fact-check:

Inaccurate Claims
  • Misstatements of the effects of social transition
  • Unsupported claim of the reversibility of puberty blockers
  • Inaccurate statement regarding the age eligibility for surgeries
  • Overreaching claims of “proven benefits” of gender transition on adolescent mental health
  • Omission of any discussion of risks
  • Conflation of distinctly different concepts
Insufficient Process
  • Inadequate literature review
  • Biased recommendations that do not acknowledge the low quality of evidence
  • Failure to consult a range of stakeholders with diverse views
  • Lack of identification or acknowledgement of alternatives

Twitter Suspends Jordan Peterson For ‘Misgendering’

Jordan Peterson
 by Gage Skidmore is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0. 

Peterson referred to actor Elliot Page by her birth name Ellen Page and the “her” pronoun.

Twitter informed Peterson that his comments…

Violated our rules against hateful conduct.  You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.

Peterson’s daughter, Mikhaila, announced the suspension on her own Twitter, tagging Elon Musk and adding that the site is “Definitely not a free speech platform at the moment.”

Dave Rubin (who is gay) is also suspended for mentioning Peterson’s suspension.

Years ago Peterson opposed Canadian Government Bill C-16 on free speech grounds. He argued that bill would open up the floodgates for prosecuting people who refuse to use a transgender person’s preferred pronouns.

British Triathlon Announces Significant Change

British Triathlon becomes the first British sport to create an ‘open’ category for transgender athletes, banning transgender females from competing in elite and age-group female events.

Why? Because of fairness. Because transwomen are not women. They are biological males. And the Truth matters. 

The Female category, meanwhile, will be “for those who are the female sex at birth.”

Source: 220Triathlon.com

I so glad they didn’t say “those assigned the female sex at birth.” Sex is not assigned. As Gender Identity Activists claim. That is a gross mischaracterization of reality.

DSD’s and Sex “Assignment”

Have you noticed many requests to allow trans-MALE competitors in elite male sport? I haven’t. Perhaps there is a good reason.

Full Story Here.

As a Christian who believes in the doctrine of Creation, Incarnation, Bodily Resurrection, Bodily Ascension, and future bodily resurrection for believers, I could never agree with Gender Ideologues nor the bodily harm they often recommend to confused people.

As a Classic Christian I encourage everyone to “Embrace, Don’t Affirm.”

Individuals with a Gender Identity Disorder (Gender-Dysphoria) need Truth-filled Love. Please read this post for more details.
