At Genspect, we are unequivocal: after 25 years of vast, uncontrolled medical experimentation on children and adolescents, there is no need for further research. This week, we lead with an important piece by Genspect&#8217;s Canadian Director and author of <em>The WPATH Files</em>, <strong>Mia Hughes</strong>, who makes the case for the research we actually need to help gender-distressed young people.</p><p>Also, be sure to read <strong>D. Delaney&#8217;s</strong> piece, &#8220;Arrayed in the Trappings of the Feminine,&#8221; exploring the complex relationship between gay men and femininity through three classic novels. We are pleased to feature a piece by <strong>Jan Cor</strong> of the new Belgian parents&#8217; group <strong>Cry for Recognition</strong>, which is leading the charge against the authorities&#8217; indifference to the medical scandal unfolding in Belgium. They also highlight an important opportunity for members of the European Community to make their voices heard.</p><p>Finally read parents&#8217; unedited testimonies from the Genspect&#8217;s American College Survey featuring <strong>North Carolina State University</strong>, <strong>Yale University</strong>, <strong>The University of Chicago</strong>, <strong>Stanford</strong> and <strong>UW-Madison.</strong></p><p>Meanwhile, there&#8217;s big news on the &#8220;Events&#8221; front. Tickets are now on sale for <strong>The Bigger Picture Conference 2025</strong>, taking place <strong>September 27&#8211;28, 2025</strong>, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Miller</strong> on the little-known but crucial clause in Trump&#8217;s Executive Order that could bring about the downfall of <strong>WPATH</strong>.</p><p>Another must-read is <strong>Victoria G</strong>&#8217;s <em><strong>Notes on a Detransition: Fetish Scene Abuse, Dissociation, and the Formation of a Trans Identity</strong></em>, in which she recounts how a decade of abuse in the fetish scene fuelled her trans identity and reveals the little-known affinity between BDSM, gender ideology, and the manipulation of vulnerable people under the guise of "consent." <em>We&#8217;ve linked to Victoria&#8217;s appearance on Beyond Gender in &#8220;videos&#8221;.</em></p><p>Next, <strong>Stella O&#8217;Malley</strong> pauses to reflect on Genspect&#8217;s journey in <em><strong>Genspect is Growing Up</strong></em>. What began as a crisis-driven organisation in 2020 has gradually moved toward a more sustainable model, largely focused on providing support for individuals and families. Genspect is small but mighty, raising public awareness about the trans phenomenon and helping those who have been hurt by it on a shoestring.</p><p>Finally, <strong>Mia Hughes</strong> delivers a scathing critique in <em><strong>Be Bold</strong></em>, examining a leaked 2018 speech by <strong>WPATH</strong>&#8217;s <strong>Marci Bowers</strong> that reveals the extent to which WPATH has, then and now, prioritised ideology over medical ethics. Mia calls for a return to evidence-based care to protect vulnerable youth from irreversible harm.</p><p>This week, we also continue <strong>The Best of Genspect&#8217;s</strong> comprehensive look at how the routine use of <strong>puberty blockers</strong> became the treatment of choice for gender distressed children and who this created a crisis by putting thousands on an irreversible pathway to medical transition.</p><p><strong>Thank you</strong> for joining us at Inspecting Gender! </p><div><hr></div><h2><em>Articles</em></h2><div><hr></div><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;9ba21c28-d44a-4b3e-ac70-d89d6e32405a&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;On January 28, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order provocatively titled \&quot;Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.\&quot; Since then, public discussion has focused almost exclusively on funding provisions and insurance coverage restrictions.

Does it serve children&#8217;s well-being or a surgeon&#8217;s pursuit of aesthetic perfection? Next, <strong>Jason Watson</strong>, a New Zealand Registered Nurse, presents &#8220;<strong>Why We Watch and Wait.</strong>&#8221; why a measured, evidence-based approach to teens distress and careful assessment over hasty medical steps makes sense, especially as scrutiny of rapid affirmation grows. </p><p>Saturday marked the launch of &#8220;<strong>The Best of Genspect,</strong>&#8221; a multi-part series spotlighting key content from the Genspect vault.* This week, we begin an extended look at puberty blockers beginning with <strong>James Linehan</strong>, who was born with a rare condition preventing natural puberty. In a powerful vox pop from our 2023 Bigger Picture Conference and a recent Beyond Gender podcast, James shares how missing puberty shaped his life&#8212;physically, emotionally, and intellectually&#8212; and questions the ethics of intentionally blocking it as a supposed treatment for gender-distressed youth.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/p/puberty-blockers-under-scrutiny-insights?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://genspect.substack.com/p/puberty-blockers-under-scrutiny-insights?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p>Next, we&#8217;re excited to share series of cross-posts. The first is from the <strong>Open Therapy Institute (OTI)</strong>.<strong>Andrew Hartz,</strong> OTI&#8217;s Founder, introduces <strong>Frontiers in Mental Health</strong>, a new journal aimed at clinical issues sidelined by socio-political biases. Here, at last, is a journal following evidence, wherever it leads. OTI also announces a <strong>membership sale: 50% off the first year through April</strong> 30, inviting therapists to join a network offering clinical referrals, peer consultation, and discounted CE workshops, all focused on practical, unbiased care over affirmation-only defaults.</p><p>We&#8217;re also pleased to feature a cross-post from regular contributor <strong>Pamela Garfield-Jaeger</strong>. Her piece, <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s Humane to Ban Medically Assisted Self-Harm,&#8221;</strong> defends Trump&#8217;s executive order cutting federal funds for &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; for minors. Pamela argues that there is a place for safeguards against an industry exploiting vulnerable youth. Affirming self-hatred through medical harm, she says,  isn&#8217;t compassion&#8212;it&#8217;s cruelty.</p><p><strong>Genspect USA</strong> is fortunate to have <strong>Erin Friday</strong> of <strong>Our Duty</strong> as one of our board members. We are pleased to highlight the latest from Erin on Our Duty&#8217;s efforts in <strong>California</strong>. There&#8217;s also a mention of the event <strong>Genspect</strong> attended with detransitioners and <strong>Education Secretary McMahon</strong> for <strong>Detrans Awareness Day 2025 on Capitol Hill</strong>.</p><p>Finally, for our CME-tier subscribers we offer <strong>Dr. Julia Mason</strong>&#8217;s lecture, &#8220;<strong>The Complexities of Brain Development During the Crucial Stages of Adolescence and Young Adulthood</strong>.&#8221; First delivered at The Bigger Picture Lisbon conference, it is now CME-accredited. Julia explores how uneven brain maturation&#8212;especially in teens with ADHD or autism&#8212;shapes decisions around gender identity, grounding it in science that&#8217;s essential for clinicians.

The science of brain development offers fascinating answers! We're excited to announce that Dr. Julia Mason's illuminating lecture from our 2024 Bigger Picture Lisbon conference is now CME accredited. Drawing on her extensive pediatric experience, Dr. Mason examines how the adolescent brain develops unevenly from back to front, affecting decision-making particularly for youth with ADHD and autism. She explores how these neurological differences may make some young people more susceptible to gender ideology, which she notes \&quot;promises to explain why a young person isn't fitting in with their peers\&quot; and can become a hyperfocus or special interest. Her evidence-based perspective highlights why understanding adolescent neurodevelopment is crucial when young people face complex identity questions during this vulnerable developmental stage.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Complexities of Brain Development During the Crucial Stages of Adolescence and Young Adulthood &amp; How Normal Development Can Lead a Troubled Young Person into Dangerous Territory&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:223072718,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Genspect&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;A Healthy Approach to Sex and Gender&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ab6b9e76-5d73-481f-9cc1-02f53919e06f_2000x2000.png&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:null}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2025-03-28T14:46:47.363Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/wYdSpNkRgfQ&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/p/the-complexities-of-brain-development&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:&quot;Continuing Medical Education&quot;,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:160070465,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:4,&quot;comment_count&quot;:0,&quot;publication_id&quot;:null,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Inspecting Gender&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fada76ea0-2bd5-47a7-ba01-a20375724425_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><div><hr></div><h2><em>Events</em></h2><div><hr></div><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;fdbd01b3-de75-4488-b28b-8f7f8dd95dd8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Sasha Ayad and Lisa Marchiano are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the next Wider Lens Parenting Retreat* - Anchored: A Calming Center Amidst Chaos - designed to help parents find the support, tools, guidance, and connections useful for navigating the challenges of parenting a gender-questioning child.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;md&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;A Retreat for Parents with Lisa and Sasha&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:223072718,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Genspect&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;A Healthy Approach to Sex and Gender&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ab6b9e76-5d73-481f-9cc1-02f53919e06f_2000x2000.png&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:null}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2025-03-24T22:33:25.421Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc556c9ff-7999-4972-905e-afc5fa2684b7_1778x1064.png&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/p/a-retreat-for-parents-with-lisa-and&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:159786325,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:0,&quot;comment_count&quot;:0,&quot;publication_id&quot;:null,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Inspecting Gender&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fada76ea0-2bd5-47a7-ba01-a20375724425_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Inspecting Gender is a reader-supported publication.

In his latest post, "The New Frontier in the Battle Between Ideology and Reality?" Dr Haim expands on some of his remarks from the Medical Panel at Detrans Awareness Day 2025 on Capitol Hill. He examines the clash between ideology-fuelled medicine and biological reality, and highlights what is becoming a disturbing pattern in which those eager to transition children are dodging legal safeguards.</p><p>Meanwhile in Europe, <strong>Lisa M&#252;ller</strong> takes us into Germany&#8217;s sports arena, where the new Self-ID Act is wreaking havoc. In this latest <strong>&#8220;Dispatch from Deutschland,&#8221;</strong> M&#252;ller exposes shameful parallels with the doping scandals of East Germany&#8217;s past.</p><p>In videos, we&#8217;re pleased to crosspost two terrific episodes of <strong>Beyond Gender</strong>. First, <strong>Stella O&#8217;Malley</strong> and <strong>Mia Hughes</strong> speak with <strong>Carrie Clark</strong> of Genspect UK about the UK&#8217;s new <strong>Puberty Blocker Trial</strong>. Clark insists that, with 25 years of evidence exposing the harms of puberty blockers and the Cass Review&#8217;s urgent cautions against the use of puberty blockers, there are no excuses for holding a trial that bypasses science and makes guinea pigs of children. </p><p>In the second episode, <strong>Stella O&#8217;Malley</strong> and <strong>Bret Alderman</strong> speak with <strong>James Linehan</strong>, who was born with a rare disorder that prevented his body from naturally maturing; he remained stuck in a childlike state long after his peers grew up. He speaks about his experience and what it really means when modern medicine intentionally blocks puberty in gender-questioning youth.</p><p>We have also released two new videos from The Bigger Picture Conference in Lisbon, including the live episode of Gender &#8212; A Wider Lens featuring Billboard Chris.</p><p>Fans of Sasha Ayad may also want to check out an event for parents that she is co-hosting with Lisa Marchiano. Although it&#8217;s <em>not</em> a Genspect event, we think many Inspecting Gender readers will find it interesting.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/p/ideology-medicine-and-sports-in-focus?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://genspect.substack.com/p/ideology-medicine-and-sports-in-focus?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2><em>Articles</em> </h2><div><hr></div><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;abe746d3-459f-4a18-9096-64be74648581&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Since Trump's inauguration, there has been a whirlwind of activity with one of the most prominent being the aptly-named Executive Order \&quot;Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.\&quot;&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The New Frontier in the Battle Between Ideology and Reality?&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:223072718,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Genspect&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;A Healthy Approach to Sex and Gender&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ab6b9e76-5d73-481f-9cc1-02f53919e06f_2000x2000.png&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:null}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2025-03-20T12:01:57.543Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0c750b44-95c8-4a77-b207-0442a3a63f75_3543x2362.jpeg&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/p/the-new-frontier-in-the-battle-between&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:&quot;United States&quot;,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:159127616,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:31,&quot;comment_count&quot;:8,&quot;publication_id&quot;:null,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Inspecting Gender&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fada76ea0-2bd5-47a7-ba01-a20375724425_1280x1280.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><div><hr></div><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;c52c6b83-98a1-482f-a856-36cd2fd74922&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;On April 12, 2024, the German parliament passed the controversial Self-Determination (Self-ID) Act.

But first, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of <strong>Genspect Ireland</strong>. There is a lot of work to be done in Ireland, but if you are a regular reader of <em>Inspecting Gender,</em> you will know that the vibe shift sweeping the world has made its way to &#201;ire. This week <strong>Sara Morrison</strong>, the director of Gespect Ireland shares the story of how she became the subject of a witch hunt and why Genspect&#8217;s mission is so important to her. Meanwhile, Mary-Anne McNulty of <strong>Gaels for Fair Play</strong> writes about a new, short-sighted policy from the  Ladies Gaelic Football Association that will allow biological males to play against women and girls. Please sign the petition!</p><p>Meanwhile <strong>David Allison</strong> reports from Germany on the new S2k German-language guideline on Gender Incongruence and Gender Dysphoria. If you have been following along with Inspecting Gender&#8217;s regular series, <strong>Dispatches from Deutschland</strong>, you will know that all is not well. The ongoing theme of decisions outpacing evidence pops up again in Allison&#8217;s latest piece. This is no accident, as we learned in yesterday&#8217;s MCC Brussels event, &#8220;<strong>Does gender self-identification threaten women&#8217;s rights and child safety?&#8221; Stella O&#8217;Malley</strong> joined <strong>Faika El-Nagashi</strong> and <strong>Ashley Frawle</strong>y to trace Europe&#8217;s descent into gender ideology at the hands of the EU and NGOs.  </p><p>Back across the pond, Genspect USA are relaxing (just a little) following the success of <strong>Detrans Awareness Day 2025</strong>. In what felt like a breakthrough moment, detransitioners took center stage at the nation&#8217;s Capitol. In addition to holding a successful briefing, detransitioners met with Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Andrew Guernsey of the Department of Health and Human Services.

This is the first in a series lifting up detransitioners&#8217; voices, and it&#8217;s already resonating. <a href="https://genspect.substack.com/p/forrests-story-a-tale-of-detransition?r=3ot80e">Watch it here</a>.</p><p><strong>Nancy McDermott</strong> makes the case for adding &#8220;detransitioner&#8221; to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Today, we spotlight voices challenging the rush to medicalize young people questioning their gender. From detransitioners ignored by the NHS to schools grounding policy in evidence, these stories demand debate and reflection.</strong></p><h4><strong>Countdown to Detrans Awareness Day</strong></h4><p>In just over a week on <strong>March 12, 2025</strong>, <strong>Genspect</strong> hosts a landmark <strong>Detrans Awareness Day on Capitol Hill</strong>. This is a unique opportunity for lawmakers to sit face-to-face with detransitioners, medical experts, and advocates where policy takes shape. The agenda includes everything from medical harm and social contagion to litigation and the pressing needs of those who regret gender care, all grounded in accounts of their personal experiences. By considering science, law, and culture, we hope to amplify the voices, and the experiences of detransitioners at the highest levels of government. This event has been a long time coming,  we are thrilled to watch it unfold!</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Inspecting Gender is a reader-supported publication.

She terms it a 15-year unchecked experiment that betrays its casualties. </p><p>In "<strong>Nottingham Catholic Schools&#8217; Healthy Approach to Sex and Gender"</strong> we learn  how the Diocese of Nottingham&#8217;s 84 schools reject affirmation for compassion, using a Cass Review-rooted guide that prioritizes holistic care and legal clarity over ideology. </p><p>In "<strong>Dispatches from Deutschland: If You Know Nothing, You Will Believe Everything (Part 2)</strong>," German parents criticize Der Spiegel for not challenging Professor Georg Romer&#8217;s dismissal of Cass&#8217;s evidence critique, warning that unchecked experts endanger kids&#8217; futures. </p><p>Finally, a cross-post from the <a href="https://www.academyofideas.uk/">Academy of Ideas</a> reinforces Clark&#8217;s plea for the NHS to hear detransitioners before the trial, aligning with a free-speech ethos that underscores their critical, often-ignored perspective.</p><div><hr></div><h2><em>Articles</em></h2><div><hr></div><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;0029663f-0ba7-496c-bd99-a7141aeb2e4d&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;In part one we read about the collapse of S&#252;ddeutsche Zeitung Magazine&#8217;s standards in the face of gender ideology.

Drawing from Reuters investigations, clinical data, and social media analysis, Reilly examines the dramatic mismatch between officially reported detransition rates of 1-2% and evidence suggesting figures closer to 20%. Through a methodical analysis of youth transition statistics, treatment numbers, and historical research showing most gender-questioning youth naturally desist, he builds a sobering case for why current practices may be leading to what he terms \&quot;one of the great medical scandals of our

Then take a deeper dive with a fact check into the UK Government&#8217;s Women and Equalities Committee surreal hearing on puberty blockers, with supporting evidence on the known dangers of puberty blockers from Michael Biggs. This post highlights the dangers of relying on so-called experts whose claims are not backed up by good evidence. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://genspect.substack.com/p/time-to-block-the-blockers-detrans?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://genspect.substack.com/p/time-to-block-the-blockers-detrans?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p>Meanwhile in <strong>Germany,</strong> <strong>TransTeensSorgeBerechtigt</strong> begins a two-part series highlighting the poor record of the German Press when it comes to reporting on gender medicine. <br><br>Then we&#8217;re on to <strong>New Zealand</strong> where the Ministry of Health is considering a more cautious approach to puberty blockers. <strong>Dr. Isobel Ross</strong> offers forensic explanation of the folly of &#8220;informed consent&#8221; and critique of PATHA (Professional Association of Transgender Health Aotearoa) guidelines. </p><p>Check out these articles, the latest video from <strong>The Bigger Picture Conference</strong> and the latest on <strong>Detrans Awareness Day on Capitol Hill</strong>!</p><div><hr></div><h2><em>Articles</em></h2><div><hr></div><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;c0e7bbc7-a7bb-440f-819b-9406387f15f8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;When I first set about writing the puberty blocker report, I was advised not to bother &#8211; apparently, it would never get past an ethical review.

Genspect has been asked to spread the word about an important hearing taking place in Colorado. <br><br>The Colorado General Assembly is set to hear <strong><a href="https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1254">House Bill 25-1254</a></strong> tomorrow afternoon/evening, likely not before 4:00 PM MT. <strong>This bill aims to extend the statute of limitations for youth gender transition procedures, and your testimony could make a significant impact.</strong></p><h3><strong>Why Your Testimony Matters:</strong></h3><ul><li><p><strong>Share Your Experience:</strong> Your personal stories and insights are invaluable to legislators. They need to hear from those directly affected by these procedures to understand the full implications of this legislation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Influence Policy:</strong> Your testimony could help shape a law that protects future generations by ensuring they have the time they need to understand the full implications of their decisions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Support Others:</strong> By speaking out, you empower others in similar situations and contribute to a broader understanding of detransitioning issues.</p></li></ul><h3><strong>How to Testify:</strong></h3><ul><li><p><strong>Remote Testimony:</strong> Even if you can't attend in person, you can still make your voice heard. <strong>Sign up to testify remotely</strong> by visiting this <a href="https://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/clics2025A/commsumm.nsf/NewSignIn.xsp">link</a>. Registration is straightforward and will allow you to speak directly to the committee.</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Important Points:</strong></h3><ul><li><p>You do not have to be from Colorado to testify</p></li><li><p><strong>Hearing Time:</strong> The bill is expected to be discussed late in the day, likely after 4:00 PM MT. Given the potential for a large turnout, testimony might extend into the evening.</p></li><li><p><strong>Extended Testimony:</strong> If many individuals sign up to testify, the committee might allocate additional time or reschedule to Tuesday or Wednesday to accommodate everyone.</p></li><li><p><strong>Impact:</strong> The more voices heard, the more likely this bill will reflect the needs and experiences of detransitioners.</p></li></ul><p>Please, if you or someone you know has detransitioned or has insights into the effects of gender transition procedures, consider testifying. Your story is crucial for shaping a more informed and compassionate legislative response.</p><p>Let's make this hearing a turning point by ensuring every detransitioner's voice is heard.</p><h3><strong>Sign up below</strong> to secure your spot to testify remotely.</h3><p class="button-wrapper"
