The "field" of gender "medicine" is a monstrosity. It's just monstrous. From Biggs paper we know that the original study in Amsterdam was a lie. They committed scientific misconduct by removing a child that died. They compounded this with "measures" that were subjective, and thus meaningless. And then no other group has been able to reproduce those results. That's the foundation.
But the claims of children dying from suicide due to NOT getting trans intervention? A horrendous lie. Dhejne, then Straub confirmed a 19X and 12X INCREASE in suicide after transition. The truth is completely opposite of what the PR firehose has to say, and I am quite sure I know why. A key player writing WPATH standards is a sadist pedophile (and a racist son of a bitch). Thats what penning fantasies about cutting off genitals of black boys without anesthesia means. That's sadism.
These WPATH standards appear to exist for children because it gets these pedophile sadists and their related fetishist pedophiles off. They want these kids to be destroyed, broken, and to die in despair. It gets them off to see that.
This is key to understanding what is going on here.
I say this as a scientist who wrote the only sound biological explanation for trans identification. I have had a number of people who feel trans contact me. I have known some closely enough to feel some really seem like women internally.
But that does not mean I'm an idiot who believes in rainbow 🦄 unicorns and elves dancing on the lawn.
This whole trans-medicine for kids is beyond a disgrace. This is a heinous crime committed against children. It is absolutely heinous, unbelievably so -- an outrage that they get away with it. This is RICO case that should take down its billionaire backers and imprison them for life.
Don't throw parents of trans-kids at me, even if they are celebrities. Munchausen by proxy explains that all too well. There are mentally ill parents that want attention and will kill their own children to satisfy their mental illness. Celebrities can be attention needy too.
Is there perhaps a go fund me page for this courageous lady? She’s taken a helluva hit to do the right thing and the least I feel I can do is buy her groceries for a week. It takes tremendous nerve to speak up when you have kids at home and your job on the line. Which is why it so rarely happens. Thank you Ms Pietzke
Doctors should be in the business of affirming the gender that people were born with rather than creating a world of make believe that will bedevil the patient all their lives. Biology doesn't lie.
Distresses young people are being sold the lie that their problem is simple with a simple solution: change gender. True transgender is about 1/20,000, there are observable brain differences to biological sex.
This is a good start. But it’s Pride week, and so I’m sitting here looking at a restaurant with a big sign proclaiming “all genders welcome!” I have questions. Is the assumption implicit in that sign that elsewhere restaurants are actively excluding men, women, or gender nonconforming people? Is Pride week all about gender now and not sexuality? Nearby are public “universal restrooms,” whatever that may mean. I went to a show and all of the performers (barring one lone brave man) list their pronouns in the playbill. Not one is the least bit androgynous or would make you question which pronoun to use. One of the obviously male cast members says he goes by either he, she OR they! (It must be noted that “he, she, or they” has a beard, and is named Richard.) So, we’ve still got a ways to go with this collective denial of reality. The harm to youth from this stuff is not limited to medicalization and surgery. They are being taught falsehoods, and it’s almost impossible to counter them when they are all around us. Young people see this stuff and think it’s normal and factual. They are being taught that gender nonconforming people face hostility everywhere that doesn’t actively proclaim support for them. They also are being taught that gender nonconforming men and women are either the opposite sex or a third sex. They will no doubt start indicating their pronoun on everything, because why not? But the list of reasons why not, are legion. None of it is good for gender nonconforming people, a significant majority of whom are homosexual. Pride, indeed.
The UK has upheld a ban on puberty blocks , and EU counties have realized the studies done on this are just crap and have also stopped this but the US marches on because this is not science but politics and it effects our current presidential hopeful Harris . Yes I really don't think anything will be done until we get enough law suits against these people and they start having to pay, then there insurance rates will go through the roof and then it will shut down . But in the years it will take this to happen we will be the nation that destroys our kids futures .
At some point they really should prosecute everyone who was involved in the provision of "gender-affirming care" to minors who were not competent to decide for themselves. Puberty blockers and sex change surgeries are no different than Mengele's experiments.
Good for her! I’m glad she landed on her feet. You’re never really down and out when you’re an LMHC. You just go into private practice where you don’t have a boss that makes you compromise your morals.
This woman will never work again. The progressive enforcement machinery is relentless. Any time she tries to get any job some progressive coworker or boss will google her, and then if she’s already been hired they’ll work to destroy her; or they won’t hire her. She’ll be lucky to get a job at 7-11. Woke totalitarianism is the norm in Washington, Oregon, California. The punishment never ends and you are never free. And Kamala and the rest want to continue to make the federal government the same way.
Also, the Feds push Gender Ideology/Idoctrination as the law of the land. Today is the first day of the new Title IX rules which basically replace "sex" with "gender". If one can believe it, Harris is even worse than Biden on this issue.
I do like that Musk left TX for CA over AB 1955 (the last straw). But, that will not be enough.
Thank you Tamara and TFP! Courageous whistleblowers and journalists at their best. Pray for Dr. Ethan Haim, who the Biden regime is putting in trial the week after his daughter is due to be born.
I'm sitting here shaking my head, reading this right after the moronic IOC permitted two males to to beat up females in boxing, despite having been previously disqualified from women's boxing due to being...male. The first woman, Angela Carini fought Imane Khelif for less than a minute before she ended the match, having never experienced the force of a man's fist. The next match is scheduled for tomorrow. IOC says the two male fighters, who were previously disqualified from global female boxing events because tests showed they were...male - didn't convince the IOC, who said they were in fact female, because the "their passports said they were male."
If we can't protect adult women from men, if female boxers are beaten to a pulp by men - as a form of entertainment - what chance do children have? God bless Tamara Pietzke for her courage, her convictions, and sense of right v. wrong. But after this thoroughly demoralizing event in Paris, I'm despairing, losing hope.

"Holistic" is a garbage word, like "Green." Beware garbage words.
I agree. Just like "holistic" college admissions versus merit.
Doctors should be in the business of affirming the gender that people were born with rather than creating a world of make believe that will bedevil the patient all their lives. Biology doesn't lie.

She is a true heroine. It would be great if she could be on the IOC. They are desperate for both brains and morals.

It’s mumbo jumbo, there is not one firm statement in there.
They are hoping people will stop watching so they can continue
Good for her! I’m glad she landed on her feet. You’re never really down and out when you’re an LMHC. You just go into private practice where you don’t have a boss that makes you compromise your morals.
Very happy to see she has a practice going.

And Kamala and the rest want to continue to make the federal government the same way.
She needs to move to a not-Blue state (i.e. not-Woke/Totalitarian/Communist).
It's obvious that the Blue states are imploding under their massively increasing non-value budgets, unjustified tax loads, and taxpayer exodus.
Meanwhile, rational companies are moving their important operations to Red states where their employee-taxpayers get good value for their taxes.
The "mainstream media" (e.g. Pravda) will keep pushing Blue states into bankruptcy and Woke dystopian misery.
It is actually everywhere these days, see:

I'm highly skeptical of the scicentific validity of psychotherapy, but at least she is providing some option for distressed parents.

yes.
