WPATH individual membership dropping like a stone

Carmichael was deffo on the EPATH scientific committee for children and adolescents in 2014-15

I think everyone joins WPATH and then gets an automatic membership of their nearest offshoot?

Carmichael gave a talk at a WPATH event in 2016, so probably was a member at some point:

Previous UK members who are no longer listed include Susie, Helen Webberley, Bernadette Wren and Dr Harrop. There's also no Polly Carmichael although I can't remember if she was previously a member or not.

American membership fell to 39% of its Jan 2023 total and overall membership to 38%. So Americans very slightly less likely to have left than other nationals.

As a resident of the US I will guess that in the USA this is for 3 major reasons:

1. The voices of the majority who think so-called "Gender Medicine" for children should be banned (except for therapy) are finally breaking through. Together with laws across many states banning hormones and therapy for children with Trans identities. Detransitioners and their testimony at these hearings for new legislation have also been going viral.

2. Professionals are now finally frightened of being sued and are disassociating with organizations linked to Gender Ideology.

3. WPATH have been exposed as not being experts and having no medical basis for their recommendations. Many professionals had believed their PR and assumed they knew what they were talking about. Now they realize they are a facade.

Thoughts and prayers...

Well maybe only thoughts.

Wow. 60% drop in one year. Looks like it's mostly Americans who are saying no which is quite surprising too.

WPATH global membership stood at 4,119 in January 2023. As of 4th January 2024, it stood at 1,590. US membership was 3,104 in January 2023, compared with 1,234 in January 2024, i.e. currently comprising 78% of WPATH global membership. UK membership is minimal in comparison with 2% of total membership, although it appears to have experienced a similar proportionate decline, from 93 members in January 2023 to 34 in January 2024.

WPATH are now pleasing no one. The Genderbelievers think WPATH is too conservative and restrictive, the old schooler Genderdoctors think WPATH has become too lax and that it’s been to quick to bin the more gatekeepery policies.

The paediatric endocrinologists are making the adult surgeons cases more difficult/less lucrative.

The therapists and psychologists are referring pretty much all comers to surgeons, even though the reason for the two tier process was to weed out the future regretters and those with differential diagnosis such as OCD or eating disorders.

Planned Parenthood have undercut the old processes entirely and will flog hormones to anyone who can fill out a form and see at the bill.

The only people currently happy with
WPATH are the Eunuchs.

I've no idea who wpath are but it makes for a good read. The reasons given for their failing fortunes have cheered me up no end.

Thanks for posting that link OP 👍

My thoughts go out to them at this difficult time.

Wow, that’s a hell of a change in a year. Any big names who’ve left?
