11 years ago tonight, Obama illuminated the White House with the colors of the Pride flag after the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land.

My paper on how politics is tying the hands of psychologists working with young people on gender issues is now available online. Thanks to my coauthors and to SEGM for supporting open access (link follows).

Wow, Erica Anderson, a veteran psychologist, trans woman and former head of WPATH’s US arm, does not mince words about the psychologist in the detransitioner lawsuit. Nor did she on the stand. She landed blow after blow on Kenneth Einhorn for what she characterized as shoddy and rushed care. The case called into sharp question the “gender affirmation” ethos and how it can shortchange troubled youth who need an adult who is willing to get them to stop and reflect, as opposed to providing what in this case was characterized as tacit approval for having a mastectomy at age 16.
I’m the psychologist expert witness who worked with Fox Varian and her attorney to win the case in New York. As I testified, he was wholly unqualified, failed to observe standards of care and simply blew it with a 16 year questioning her gender.

BREAKING: The United Arab Emirates is restricting their nationals from enrolling at British universities over fears that UK campuses are being radicalized by radical Islamist groups. THIS IS BEYOND HILARIOUS! The UAE has a lower tolerance for radical Islam than the freaking UK.

I report for @UnHerd on the tangled and tortured case of Gordon Guyatt, the towering figure of evidence-based medicine who has caved to transgender-activist pressure and thrown under the bus the funder of his systematic reviews of pediatric gender-transition treatment, @SEGM_EBM. He and his colleagues also contradicted their own research findings by adopting activist language touting the benefits of these interventions as “medically necessary.” My reporting plumbs the depths of the internal tensions at McMaster University, where Guyatt is a star professor, over the mounting activist pressure. I spoke with one of the authors of the review papers, who was sharply critical of Guyatt’s decision to take sides on how his work should be used in the policy arena. This source shared with me internal emails diagramming the thought process of Guyatt and one of his key McMaster colleagues as they tried to quell the furor over their commissioned work for SEGM. I also report on how Guyatt’s team is seeking to sink or at least divorce themselves from two other systematic reviews about youth gender medicine, and also kill an analysis of @WPATH’s trans care guidelines.

In a recent SCOTUS amicus brief, WILL & @eanderh strongly condemn the radical idea that gender identity decisions can be made by local school districts without parental involvement. We will continue to fight this injustice at every turn, in every state. More:  will-law.org/wp-content/uplo…

@eanderh, one of the most trusted gender psychologists with decades of experience, tried to submit an op-ed warning about the risks of youth gender medicine when it isn’t practiced with caution and @katiekings didn’t run that either. Detransitioners deserve their own voice.

“Israel is committing genocide!” Ali: I’m an Arab and I serve in the IDF. We target terrorists, not civilians. “Israel is discriminating against Arabs!” Ali: I am an Arab citizen of Israel and I vote, work, and speak freely. “Israel doesn't let Arabs into bomb shelters!” Ali: We Arabs and Jews go to bomb shelters together. “Israel is erasing Arab culture!” Ali: We have Arabic theaters, TV channels, radio stations, websites, and cultural organizations — all running freely in Israel. Try a new lie.
There are a lot of lies and misconceptions going around about Israel, especially about how it treats Arabs. But that’s not the reality on the ground. This is what life in Israel actually looks like. It’s time to challenge the false narratives and see the truth for yourself. #ArabIsraeli #TruthMatters

@eanderh has been urging caution and careful screening for awhile now too. We need to see more clinicians and politicians understanding this & getting on board.

The new publication also discuses the Cass Review, which is a comprehensive review of pediatric gender medicine in the UK, with significant worldwide implications. Those uncertain about what the Cass Review is will find a succinct summary helpfully provided by the authors. /6

Da Vinci was wise as well as talented. We all deceive ourselves most of the time. Learn to question everything, especially your own assumptions! That's one of the lessons from "The Wizard's Way" #innovation #success #leadership #yourmagic #wizardsway

Parents have a fundamental right to direct their children’s upbringing. Today, the 9th Circuit reasserted that principle—vacating a lower court’s dismissal in Regino v. Staley. We fought for this result in an amicus brief filed with @wilawliberty and @eanderh. This marks another victory in California as we continue to fight for parents' rights.
