Medicalised pathway for children is not a "standard of care"

Interesting thread about WPATH admitting that their treatments for children/adolescents including puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones, and sterilizing surgeries are NOT STANDARDS OF CARE.

The lawyers have had a word and now it has been downgraded to "guidelines" and so the buck stops with the individual doctor.

They're starting to admit it's experimental.

Susie Green of Mermaids is of course a member of WPATH

Strangely, Susie's own tweets on this seem to have disappeared Hmm

Neville Southall (I know he's an idiot, but he's an idiot with a large platform who's set himself up as some sort of champion for the oppressed).

Hope you don't mind, just archiving some evidence.

There are days when I still can't believe how far down this awful road we have gone. Today is one of those days.

WPATH should be abolished for this.

Yes we should remember all the enablers. We have the receipts. I personally won't be happy until they are all hung out to dry for this.

Every single one of them should have to face the consequences of allowing this horrible scandal to happen.

Was Jolly-on citing them too?

Someone ought to tell mermaids given they tweeted wpath quote the other day...

All is the evidence for adolescents are low, very low quality, or absent evidence.

Says it all really

OhHolyJesus · 21/12/2020 08:33

We should remember all those who held WPATH in such high regard. All of them.

ArabellaScott · 21/12/2020 08:21

I suppose this is good news but frankly it makes me feel sick. At least there's a chance that the people who continue to loudly advocate for the affirmative medical route are misguided but well intentioned.

All the swerves and disclaimers at the prospect of lawsuits exposes the fucking mendacity and lack of actual conviction behind many of the people pushing this shit.

It's abhorrent that anyone would do what they do without evidence of benefit and with such very clear risk of harm. To children.

Raging.

Funny how a potential lawsuit can focus minds

MoleSmokes · 21/12/2020 07:21

The buck-passing starts. Good news, all the same.

How the hell an advocacy organisation like WPATH was ever regarded as an arbiter of clinical care anyway? It’s no better than one of those “Trusted Trades” organisations where all you have to do to get an “Approved” badge is pay a joining fee.

This should be a big lever to help all those who have been concerned but were stymied by the WPATH “Standards of Care” propaganda.

Next, the equally sketchy “Yogyakarta Principles”!
