He’s such an overt hypocrite and toady to the right wing anti-trans grift. I’m astonished anyone, even the TERFs to which he curries favor, takes him seriously.
Right, wild that he’s shameless enough to use a trick that should be so immediately obvious to his audience, usually they only cite the euro nations bans so they can say “even liberal commie gay Europe is banning this, must be because the evidence is undeniable!!”
Oh yeah, I grew up in Europe so the idea that because the continent is politically to americas left on healthcare budgeting, specialty doctors are too was a big warning flag
hes such a dishonest piece of shit. no man, you're not against "youth gender medicine" you're against TRANS YOUTH getting proper medical care. there are no Idiot Singal articles decrying the growth treatments Lionel Messi received or breast reduction surgeries for boys with gyno
"It would be a tragedy if these children I have built a career attacking were cruelly abandoned in ways that are slightly more than what I have advocated for tirelessly"
Wonder if he’s going to be as concerned about the quack RFK tapped to study autism and vaccines. You know, since he used to prescribe puberty blockers to autistic kids without a license and he’s super concerned about those. https://www.mbp.state.md.us/BPQAPP/orders/GeierCharge05162011.pdf
Like, very charitably presuming good faith, what kind of methodological standard do you think would please these people? We can't even objectively prove that sex determining chromosomes accurately determine sex, without a whole bunch of caveats
nothing would please them because their standard is 100% good outcomes, 100% of the time, and that's if they believe trans people should exist. Which is a big if.
Anyone who hires propagandist Jesse Singal to write about trans people should lose their fucking job. He has so much blood on his hands, and and he loves it because it pays his bills.
When states started banning care he complained that it was unfair to point the finger at him, because he supported trans healthcare and these states were being terrible to trans kids which isn't at all what he wanted. Now he's pointing to them and using their bans to justify his own position.
I don't want to think about what he'd do for a job once we're all put into internment camps. Probably say it was necessary but that the government needs to use more sheep dip for our lice.
You demonstrate your bad faith when you cite "half of American states" knowing full well all those states are fully Republican controlled and operating out of Christianist animus and political ambition, not because "the science says" any damn thing.
he also got mad when people pointed out that a bunch of those states used his writing (esp the atlantic article) in support of the bans, saying that’s not what he wanted, but well well well now here he is using the bans to *support* his skeptical position about gac for minors. disingenuous hack
It frustrates me that politically motivated bans are used by the 'appeal to authority' folks all the time, while they ignore the results from people actually doing research. A pet peeve of mine.
It's not that doing research is wrong, just that the research so far has come to the wrong conclusions. Pope Paul V during the Galileo affair couldn't have said it better.

Fucking hell, just because he only found out about it a few years ago doesn't mean that's when it started.
Downplayed to the nth degree 🙄
*"tomfoolery" is any finding I don't agree with
Citing bad faith actors for support is stupid.
