I'm not currently an academic. I'm a general pediatrician who is getting worried about what's happening with medical treatment of transgender children, so I wrote a thing:.

I'm worried about the rapidly rising numbers of children being diagnosed as transgender and being treated with hormone blockers, cross-gender hormones, and surgery.

The goal is $20K, they've gotten to $6K, but I'm worried because in the past Paul's Kickstarters would fully fund in the first day. You get a TON of cool stuff at just the $1 level (if you are interested in permaculture and sustainability) for earlybirds. How do I help my friend?.

Excellent short (18 minute) documentary:.
Some dems think the fight over "gender affirming care" is just a political distraction. Here's why gay adults (among others) are sincerely concerned about medicalizing gender nonconforming kids via @YouTube.

How did the FTC end up hosting a whole conference on pediatric gender medicine? (🧵).
Ferguson: FTC’s statutory mandate is to protect people from deceptive cures and health claims. For decades we’ve acted against deceptive health claims, from shyster snake-oil salesmen to powerful pharma companies. The issue we address today is no different. #FTCProtectKids.

Excellent news! Thanks for speaking up, Jennifer.
Tomorrow I'm releasing my first doc short on youth gender Rx and a new Substack, Unpopular Science. Because this isn't my first rodeo with evidence that complicates medical and cultural consensus, and there's always more in the pipeline! Featuring @JamieWhistle @hannahsbee & more

Yes. My Dad survived, but later had post-polio syndrome.
Polio is much much much worse than the polio vaccine . That's why you should get the polio vaccine . These analyses are how all decisions in life are made . Some are difficult . Some - like that one - are incredibly easy.
