Doctors afraid to tell the truth about gender medicine care more about their jobs than their patients.

Activist based medicine is the enemy of science. Santos & Zempsky assert conclusive proof that gender affirming care is life-saving based on a questionnaire by an activist organisation and a policy statement that claims no such thing. Fantasy-based medicine harms children.

My contribution to @bernard_lane's detailed analysis of the many failings of the external review of Queensland Children's Gender Service: Essentially, [the Allan report has] cherry-picked the parts of the Cass review that suggest increasing the level of services, while

As a psychiatrist, I'm increasingly convinced psychiatry's failure to address the absurdity that desire for castration isn't a form of mental illness proves there's no scientific basis for any of our claims. This explains the effort to defeat human nature with medication/surgery

According to the gender affirming care model, these two people are "healthy variants of normal". I don't believe it. What about you?

The cultural atrocity of the #OpeningCeremony was an exercise in seeing how far they can push us & how much degeneracy & mocking we will tolerate Things are looking grim

The common thread that binds the overprescription of antidepressants, medicalization of normal emotional reactions, and reinforcement of gender pathologies, is that modern psychiatry doesn't prioritise patient safety. We need a SAFE PSYCHIATRY that will first do no harm.

I'm not Christian, but Christianity is the winner of this comparison. One of these tableaux shows narcissism masking despair. The other shows compassion revealing humanity. This may be the greatest own goal in the history of performative perversion.

Rejecting late converts to the reality that sex is immutable/gender is fantasy is emotionally satisfying but strategically mad. Trans activists ally with Hamas to get what they want. Dr. Naomi Wolf should trace the logical train from boxing to blockers to birthing persons. All mad.

A webinar with the wonderful Helen Joyce, Jillian Spencer, Prof. John Whitehall and host Aniello Ianuzzi covered a lot of ground on the harms being done to Australian children in pediatric gender clinics. youtube.com/watch?v=YpoUfk…

The bond between mother and baby is the foundation of human nature. Attempts to deny this are harmful to women, babies, and society. Changing the name of Mother-Baby Units to Parent-Baby Units is a betrayal of psychiatric science and medical ethics. x.com/AP_RANZCP/stat…

As a psychiatrist it is clear that if #TickleVGiggle is legally sound, then our society must be sick. Unwilling women like Sall Grover can now be compelled to deny the reality of their experiences to accommodate the preferences of men like Roxanne Tickle. x.com/salltweets/sta…

AusDoc readers interested in a different reading of the Cass Review can read my opinion, published a few days before Norman's. There's no doubt the Cass Review provides the best understanding of the treatment of paediatric gender dysphoria available. ausdoc.com.au/opinion/why-im…

New paper by Patrick Clarke & I Gender-affirming care through the lens of abnormal illness behaviour & abnormal treatment behaviour. We show how the rapid increase in gender confused kids may be caused by unhealthy interactions between patients & doctors journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

Great paper defending the Cass Review led by Alison Clayton. We show the flawed logic/misrepresentation of the evidence behind the most common attacks, & argue refusal to review Australian protocols/practices is a serious failure of clinical governance. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

Excellent new article explaining why criticisms of the Cass Review are inadequate and why Australian gender clinics’ claims that their practice accords with the CR are false. Article provides very good higher-level reflections on the field. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…
