- BREAKING: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, an organization representing 92% of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the U.S., becomes the first major medical association to break from the consensus over “gender-affirming care” for minors. This is big news. 🧵
- I’m surprised it was bunker busters that took out Iran’s nuke program and not clause 52(a)(iii)(13)(f) on page 14,762 of Appendix 71(d)(ii) of the Obama nuclear deal.
- American pediatric gender medicine has its first major whistle blower. This was inevitable. There will be more. Jamie is courageous beyond words. The things she has seen shock the conscience. These are kids. Enough. Enough. open.substack.com/pub/bariweiss/…
- BREAKING: 21 leading experts on pediatric gender medicine from 8 countries have written a Letter to the Editor of @WSJopinion expressing disagreement with the @TheEndoSociety and its new president @StephenHammes over the treatment of youth gender dysphoria. This is huge. 🧵

"Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes."I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

- Wow. Justice Alito: the Cass Report finds of no evidence that gender Rx prevents suicide. Strangio: "completed suicide is thankfully and admittedly rare," the studies apply to suicidal ideation/behavior. Has the @ACLU just abandoned the "dead daughter/live son" narrative?
- BREAKING: 8th Circuit reverses lower court decision, rules 3-0 in PDE v Linn Mar Community School District (Iowa) that a school may not compel its students to use gender identity-based language as doing so likely violates the 1st and 14th Amendments. This decision to grant a
- BREAKING: Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, Finland's leading expert on pediatric gender medicine and chief psychiatrist at its largest gender clinic (Tampere University), just gave an interview to the country's leading newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat.
