Riittakerttu Kaltiala steht im Zentrum massiver Kritik: Die Chefärztin der Jugendpsychiatrie in Tampere forciert ein restriktives „Gatekeeping“-Modell, das trans Jugendlichen lebensnotwendige Hilfe vorenthält. Berichte über traumatisierende Verhöre und ihre Nähe zu trans-feindlichen Netzwerken wie der #SEGM zeigen: Ihr Einfluss gefährdet #trans Rechte weltweit.

Kaltialas Registerstudien wirken wissenschaftlich schmal und politisch folgenreich: Sie blenden zentrale Faktoren aus und werden dennoch genutzt, um trans Jugendliche zu delegitimieren. So entstehen Narrative, die mehr Ideologie als Evidenz transportieren.

So entsteht ein wissenschaftlich seriös wirkendes Papier, das klinisch einseitig bleibt und die Lebensrealität trans Jugendlicher kaum berücksichtigt.

Das Geld dahinter: Unterstützt wird dieses Netzwerk durch massive Finanzflüsse aus ultrakonservativen US-Stiftungen und „Donor-Advised Funds“, die anonyme Einflussnahme ermöglichen (GPP, 2020).
Es ist Zeit, hinter die Kulissen der „Gender-Kritik“ zu blicken und die ideologischen Wurzeln dieser Bewegungen freizulegen.

Mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit Organisationen wie die #DGPPN und damit affiliierte Behandler sich in den inhaltlichen Kontext der #segm stellen und damit auf Konfrontation gegen die Position aller Betroffenenverbände, muss erschrecken.
Therapien, die gegen den erklärten Willen der Betroffenen propagiert und vollstreckt werden, werden wir niemals akzeptieren.

Nun muss sogar die Ärztekammer Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ran, um der "Evidenz" Legende der #SEGM beizustehen. Wir erinnern uns, für die "hinterfragende Therapie" gibt es gar keine Evidenz (schon gar keine "medizinische"):
-
Guyatt und vier Kollegen von McMaster haben sich von #SEGM distanziert, ihre Arbeit sei „falsch dargestellt und falsch interpretiert“ worden. Die Verwendung von GRADE zur Rechtfertigung von #transgender Behandlungsverboten sei „ein klarer Verstoß gegen die Grundsätze der evidenzbasierten gemeinsamen Entscheidungsfindung“:

Intervententionen, die darauf gerichtet sind, die selbstempfundene geschlechtliche Identität einer Person gezielt zu verändern oder zu unterdrücken und das Werben hierfür sind verboten.

Dr. D’Angelo forderte auf der #SEGM Konferenz ‚explorative Psychotherapie‘ insbesondere für Jugendliche. Das ist keine in Deutschland zugelassene Therapieform, noch gibt es dafür auch nur den geringsten Nachweis einer Wirksamkeit. Es ist zu mutmaßen, dass hier verschleiert Konversionstherapie propagiert wird. Diese ist in Deutschland an Jugendlichen ausdrücklich verboten. Es muss erschrecken, dass sich der Ärztekammerpräsident in solchen Kontext bringen lässt.

Auf X wird schambefreit über den transfeindlichen Zweck der SEGM Veranstaltung geschrieben: „Was ist der Sinn einer geheimen Konferenz, die mit affirmativen Klinikern zusammenarbeitet? Wir sind 5 Jahre über all das hinaus“

Dgti-Vorstandsmitglied Cornelia Kost verweist auf eine Empfehlung des Deutschen Ethikrats von 2020: Kinder und Jugendliche müssten in Fragen der eigenen Identität ihrem Alter entsprechend gehört werden. „Diese Grundsätze sehen wir durch Veranstaltungen, die Kindern und Jugendlichen die Transition verbieten wollen in besonderer Art und Weise verletzt.“

Ich könnte hier jetzt einen Artikel aus dem @gwup verlinken, in dem eine Veranstaltung der "Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine" #SEGM als internationales Fachtreffen bezeichnet wird.
Stattdessen verlinke ich auf den #Wikipedia-Artikel zu dieser Organisation.Dies kann ein guter Startpunkt für eigene Recherchen sein.

man, the #Economist’s science policy reporting has gone downhill. The reporters of their critique on the science behind #adolescent #gender care didn’t do any homework on the notorious and misnamed Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine (#SEGM), which has a history of dodgy anonymous funding, pulled papers, fundamentalist Christian motivated positions, and banning from the American Society of Pediatrics conferences.

I can't stop fucking cackling at the moment so a quick appreciation post:
First, to #posieparker, AKA #kelliejaykeen, AKA #KJK, the notorious #antitrans activist
She just got big mad about her #wikipedia
article, which has encouraged numerous trolls to create accounts and try and flood the talk page: "The defamatory page about me on @Wikipedia
@JWalesF
has been semi protected and cannot be edited. All edits in the history have been undone. The sad little incels are ensuring the lies remain."https://twitter.com/ThePosieParker/status/1616126626533892096
I mean, literally nothing there is false but go off. Funny how an article can be filled with so many lies yet you and your cronies can't point out a single untrue statement... And only unverifiable edits like she and her cronies have made have been undone, others have raised no issue.
Should be noted, this is immediately following the addition to the article of what happened at her latest rally: a #terf just flat out quoting Hitler (with attribution, to make it worse) to support why trans people shouldn't have rights.
Special shout out goes to PaddyKumar, a transphobic editor who was recently topic banned for their nonstop TERFy garbage, and was blocked for a week for evading the ban to post more garbage. Their first edit after being blocked? To add KJK's tweet to the wikipedia article (not considered a reliable source, to say the least). The edit was promptly reverted, and something tells me a fresh block is coming for once again shooting themselves in the foot
This is all too funny to me. So far, #genspect has complained about their article and KJK's complained about hers. Waiting for #segm and the #iftcc to drop complaints too lol

Astonishing thread on twitter by Zinnia Jones, about organised #transphobia
Begins: "The anti-trans group SEGM, via apparent regulatory capture of the state of #Alabama, is the subject of various state subpoenas into #SEGM's enemies including the American Academy of Pediatrics, #WPATH, Endocrine Society"

This played out a few days ago while I was busy but it was hilarious so I'll share here. So many TERFs have complained about or tried to edit the Posie Parker article, but none have identified any actual issues or factual inaccuracies. When complaining, they seemed to pick the most badass screenshots from my user page as a gotcha. Then a bunch started begging the walking midlife crisis Elon Musk to buy Wikipedia...
One called me a "transactivist who's working on pushing loads of anti-woman stuff." I mean, that's ridiculous in general, but even if you do the mental gymnastics necessary to call the conversion therapy organizations SEGM and Genspect pro-woman (since they call themselves "gender-critical" and that's apparently the same thing), it's not like the IFTCC can be described as anything other than blatant conversion therapy advocates (should be noted that Wikipedia won't let me add the fact that SEGM and Genspect have worked with the IFTCC anyways)
I write every article with the same algorithm: systematically search through every source mentioning the topic and take extensive notes then draft and publish an article. More specifics are on my user page, but they seem to believe I'm spewing propaganda instead of just sticking to reliable sources like the sources themselves aren't critical of them when outside their echo chamber...
I guess, in short, facts don't care about their feelings lol

CW: Several Problems Press: Several problems — The Courier-Mail, 27 November 2022; CW: transphobia
12. "However, psychologist Roberto D'Angelo said some kids are still only having up to half a dozen sessions before being prescribed drugs."
News Corp somehow forgot to mention that Roberto D'Angelo is a clinical advisor to the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine (#SEGM), a pseudoscientific anti-trans pressure group [1] [2] [3], which pretends to be supported by crowdfunding while actually being supported by large donations of opaque origin [4].
News Corp knew this, of course, but even if they hadn't, D'Angelo isn't exactly subtle about his views. His interaction with the public discourse is primarily through contributions to academic journals, so we can get a good idea of it by looking at his public profile on the academic social network ResearchGate [5].
On the list of publications which D'Angelo authored or co-authored, every publication since May 2018 [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] has been open advocacy for trans hostile views. That's 10 of his 13 listed publications since 2003, incidentally; talk about #RileysLaw [16]!

3. "One person [1] wrote on Reddit how they were prescribed 'gender affirming' drugs at a walk-in clinic in Queensland, after waiting about "'30 minutes for the informed consent and prescription, and another 15-20 minutes for the pharmacy next door to fill it."
"Gender affirming" appears in quote marks, as if there were some debate about the wording. In the literature, gender-affirming therapies are referred to as such even by their most ardent opponents; here are three examples from a major anti-trans pressure group, #segm, which we'll discuss later in this thread:
— https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1039856218775216
— https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp.2020.19111149
— https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-022-02472-8"Gender-affirming" is very, very standard terminology; News Corp is putting it in quote marks to make a suggestion which it can't make out loud because it doesn't have the authority, and won't because it doesn't have the guts.
While we're on the topic of conveying suggestions, while the word "drugs" is perfectly clinically accurate here and often used in the technical literature, that's not why News Corp uses it; it's used because compared to "hormones" or "medication" it is much scarier, and therefore, for News Corp's purposes, ideal.
It also ties into a common anti-trans narrative theme: namely, projecting artificiality onto trans people, portraying them as somehow unnatural and fake. Calling hormones "hormones" runs the risk of someone pointing out that hey the human body produces those too [2]. Even "hormone blockers" sounds too close to something natural and real. "Drugs"? Now those could be anything. That's the ticket.
Honestly, though, the weirdest part of this paragraph is how Cross leaves in "and another 15-20 minutes for the pharmacy next door to fill it," as if that were suggestive of something nasty. My pharmacy takes about 2 minutes to fill my prescription for #estrogen; 5 on a slow day. Should they artificially take longer because I'm trans? What's the intended outcome here?
