Quackery indeed. Thank you for your continuing work highlighting this nonsense. If the tide is turning, it’s not turning fast enough - and in medical circles! Unbelievable.
30 yrs as an NHS GP. Had the "Paedophile Information Exchange" infiltrated and corrupted academia they could not have caused so much damage, suffering and harm as the people you are exposing in medical academia! Well done, Graham! Spot on! About time somebody called this out! Any health professional aiding & abetting the poisoning and mutilating of delusional children with puberty blockers, inappropriate hormonal administration and mutilating surgery should be struck off, charged with child abuse, convicted and imprisoned for a long time. They ought to regarded with the same contempt inside as the nonces. That includes perverted academic institutions and "academics" like you describe in this excellent article. Doctors do not deserve respect or elevated social status. My Profession makes me sick and I will be delighted when society finally sorts the arrogant, conceited villains out. They have brought this on themselves and deserve whatever they have coming...
The trans reverse-Midas-touch in evidence again: everything it touches turns to dust.
Once-reliable sources of information on Evidence Based Medicine transformed into Snake Oil Outlets.
Eventually they will issue apologies and should publish corrections, not withdraw these academic travesties. They should stand as warnings and as indictments of the professional propagandists who perpetrated this conspiracy of lies.
As someone with a background in science, I'm appalled at these once respected scientific journals refusing to report facts, especially when trans 'healthcare' can cause such damage.
Quote: "When authoritative journals publish incorrect claims about known benefits and low regret rates whilst omitting less invasive alternatives, it looks almost exactly like fraud and medical abuse."
"Almost"?? No, not almost. In fact. In reality. 100%. It IS fraud and medical abuse.
These butchers should lose their medical licenses and be criminally prosecuted.
👍 Being hung, drawn, and quartered is too good for them! 😉🙂
I've periodically mentioned that I'd seen a photo from the aftermath of WW2 where American troops forced German townspeople to walk through various concentration camps to see what had been done "in their names". Similarly, a great many people need to have their noses rubbed in the rather odious consequences of "gender ideology". A whole bunch of "doctors" need to be strung up by their nuts and left to twist in the wind, figurately speaking, of course ...
> "These butchers should lose their medical licenses and be criminally prosecuted."
Amen to that. Though some reason to lay part of the blame for that at the doorstep of society itself for endorsing or condoning the Big Lie that it's possible to change sex. A view that goes back a long ways:
"Implications of sex-change act amendment have not been fully explored";
Daily Mail: "President Joe Biden said during an panel discussion that he doesn't think states should have the right to regulate sex change surgeries or treatments."
Wired; 1952: It’s front-page news when George Jorgensen Jr. is reborn as Christine Jorgensen, gaining international celebrity and notoriety as the first widely known person to undergo a successful sex-change operation.
And Eliza Mondegreen (Sarah Mittermaier) had an article on Unherd about transloonie Andrea Long Chu -- quite a mouthful ... -- on his claims on that score:
ALC: "We must be prepared to defend the idea that, in principle, everyone should have access to sex-changing medical care, regardless of age, gender identity, social environment, or psychiatric history.”
In the face of that "conventional wisdom" is it then any wonder that when various "gender-affirming doctors" claim to be able do so that far too many people accept it as gospel truth? That is how we got the "judge" in the infamous Tickle-vs-Giggle case accepting that "Ms." Tickle, with "her" brand-spanking new neovagina, had done so:
BBC: But Justice Robert Bromwich said in his decision on Friday that case law has consistently found sex is “changeable and not necessarily binary”, ultimately dismissing Giggle’s argument.
The rot goes rather deep and implicates much of society in those crimes, in the butchering of autistic and dysphoric children. Should be hell itself to pay for that.
Transwoman Erin Reed -- gutless wonder that he is -- has blocked me so his post doesn't show up in your Note in my feed. One of Substack's many deficiencies and outright bugs.
Though, for others in the same boat, his post on AOC is still available outside the Note format here:
Though while I sympathize with your "fascist buffoon" characterization of Trump -- I've often said that he was a bull in a china shop, and that he may well be a cure worse than the (Democrat) disease -- I figure that his EO on "restoring biological truth to government" covers a multitude of sins, that pretty much everything else he does is small potatoes beside that principle, that line in the sand.
So important that people know about the duplicity of these journals and medical affiliates. Of course it's all about filthy lucre. In the US alone there are billions of dollars flowing in from this absolutely fraudulent ideology. Thank you Graham.
There are three intersecting phenomena in this piece, well-done by the way.
1. Medicine is a practice, like hairdressing or architecture. It’s a body of knowledge, sometimes based on science, sometimes opinion.
The tell is the recent focus on “evidence-based medicine”.
Is there any other kind? Yes. For example, it took doctors 20+ years to stop treating peptic ulcers with bland foods, surgery and stress-reduction, and use ordinary antibiotics. Helicobacter pylori were known to be the cause for decades, but doctors ignored science.
Sometimes medicine rises above opinion, but not easily, and not quickly.
2. Science has shown us that, like all animals, humans have certain instinctive behaviors. Some are noble, like altruism or pair-bonding, some not so noble, like lying, cheating, freeloading and deception.
Like certain animals, from fish to turtles to birds and squid, humans can sexually mimic the opposite sex to avoid aggression, and avoid sexual competition. The rubric this falls under is “trans”. Considering “trans” from a biological standpoint of sexual mimicry, a small number of humans, persistently about 0.3% have a compulsion to do so as reported by trans advocacy groups. For men the behavior is demonstrably protective, reducing their rate of violent death by roughly 50%.
The entire film “Some Like It Hot” (1959) is a popular example of trans behavior. The film is built entirely on men imitating women precisely to avoid male aggression, and to gain privileged access to a female enclave - an all female band, where Tony Curtis manages to learn what Marilyn Monroe wants in a man and uses it to woo her.
Trans behavior is also maladaptive, since trans behavior is raises the incidence of criminal sexual activity by 2x to 3x for the population. Cheating to gain sexual access is clearly part of the equation too in humans.
3. Con artists since time immemorial have deceived people into giving them property, access, and privileges which are not theirs. Sometimes it is beneficial - Yentl imitates a boy to go to school - but sometimes not so benign. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is the object example of sex mimicry - the Fox - taking on the female persona of Grandmother after killing her, to lure Little Red Riding Hood to her death by abusing her familial and female trust.
Trans con artists use “social engineering” to manipulate systems of trust and protection for women to protect themselves from recognition of mimicry for what it is. They also use the manipulation of trust to gain rights and privileges not due them, taking them away from women.
In the world of medicine, this means that any questioning of the mimicry - the reality of sex, the compulsion, and the delusion - has been deemed unethical. This is contrast to medical response to all other types of mental conditions where people compulsively mimic others for gain.
The practice of medicine therefore has been socially engineered to reject science when it contradicts the practice of accepting mimicry at face value.
So in the end, medicine is what it always was, a practice like hairdressing, sexual mimicry is what it pretends it is not, a way for men to avoid aggression and sexual competition, and the two intersect where practice of medicine has been engineered to not only accept sexual deception at face value, but to actively intercede in the elimination of all scientific skepticism.
Well said. And yes, it's a brilliant article, from some brilliant work, by those managing to navigate through this with their sanity intact. Anyone in education, law, government, business, policy, health, generally STEM has seen this bizarre hollowing out but as to knowing how to counter it, first we needed to get a picture of what it is and as they screwed with data so successfully that's been only one of the ways some have been fighting back against this onslaught of total bollix. It's heartening to see how many are still managing to push back and connecting together data sets we do have. Too many I speak to are nice middle class liberal men and women stuck mimicking Billy Bragg circa 1991. They dip their toe in but it doesn't really affect them, so let's move on eh? Anyone who knows what is happening may appear a bit unhinged as others refuse to hear our warnings and then wring their hands over the damage.
To build on your sex selection, mimicry and competition points, the examples are there in nature, how we trashed it and studied it, and what was an evolved scientific method at a point in history that we seem to have moved away from - the cuckoos in nests, the other aggressions seen in species that we refuse to observe or acknowledge or admit or accuse others of in our own. The use of red and fancy colours to attract attention, the puffing of feathers, the displays, the mass distraction, the fighting, the appearing bigger or smaller than you are. Living off your host until you kill it. Establishing 'in' and 'out' groups. The hierarchies. The 'trans' umbrella seems to cover all these very obvious biological and behavioural elements and with the magic glitter dust that blinds observers. Their endless claims that these very privileged wealthy men are 'marginalised' and stupendously 'most marginalised'. That's the deliberately sown magic dust that this article is about - the 'glitter base' as it's not the evidence base of what they claim. More corruption - this time of the medico-industrial complex (Jennifer Bilek). I wonder what Jane Goodall would have made of all this. How tech leveraged it all. Trans is what anyone wants it to be and mean so it's slippery enough to always evade being held to account. I am alarmed by just how successful propandandising misinformation is and how violently so many young people are proudly claiming what we used to 'all know' to be patently false, unverifiable, unprovable, invalid. And not replicable. Look how the 'T' stuck itself to the LGB and is still resolutely there and too many still think this is a 'rights' and equality, sorry 'equity' issue. It is - their right to trample us. It's all about 'choice'.
It's also a way for the poor boys stuck in poor town to 'get out' to be something and to 'find themselves'. And find hugely lucrative positions, careers, limelight. Every one the BBC interview for drag queen story race century is that same old trope. A poor marginalised Northern or Welsh boy made good, from council house to glamour CEO of a billion pound whatever. It used to be the way (the narrative they stole of how) young gay men got out (still male everyone) and headed to the bright lights, fame and fortune. To be 'themselves' at last. Phew. Which is how they are still successfully falsely attached to that cause and experience. Jumping on the coattails of every other movement known to man. Whichever one suits them. All the time cuckoo-like claiming the vulnerability of the female sex and the HIV murder stats of Brasilian sex workers. Or the stuck bored attention-seeking and confused women, claiming the identity of a poor boy, stuck in his poor home town, railing against the constraints and bigotry, desperate to find his people, his freedom just like the bizarre example of Amanda Knox who was featured here recently. Heteros (spicy straights) wanting a bit of oomph in their lives, a bit of the danger of South-American-sex-worker-inner-city-drugs-die-early-violence-misery-danger, so they wear an earring and cut their hair funny and claim they're now a demi-semi-cutey-mid-maybe-curious they/them in their pollyannacule.
Kids in care and trapped with few options might go into the services, or be footballers. If that's not an option, now you too can be trans. Play with your sister's knickers and get some makeup and falsies and bob's yer uncle! New world here I come! Who failed them.
This demonstrates how ideology interferes with scientific intellectual rigour. It has been going on for much longer than this particular ideology of gender identitiy: scientism, which rejects evidence that contradicts a purely materialistic, Newtonian view of the cosmos.
This is what the main stream media should be reporting! But we know they won't, despite it being a massive case of medical fraud and abuse. They will report on it after it comes to light and wring their hands saying "who could have known"?
To explain that to someone unaware of just how bad this is appears paranoid. What I find is in pretty much all conversations now I can't mention anything as I then ask why do you think this, ask for references or where they built that view from and there is instant defensiveness then usually attack. If I accidentally or deliberately use that phrase 'main stream media' it gets an eye rolling, instinctive oh but that's a far-right talking point blah. I am being so ginger and careful about any conversation with almost anyone. Anger if I ask where their 'feed' is from. Where are you getting this from? But it's just on my phone! I'll still try but we've totally lost how to talk, share, have any dialogue as I get vague inferences and insults shoved at me. Doubt over things we never used to doubt as we agreed on things. You know, male and female. Now an entire generation of doctors and scientific researchers think that's false. Open to debate. 'Just' opinion. Farage, Reform, Tommy Robinson. Huh? That's it, don't ask any questions or you have 'far right!' levelled at you. Facts are now opinions, opinions are now facts. Huh?
When I say, sure, okay, let's discuss it, let's openly face why they or certain politicians might be popular, why might that be? Who might feel they speak for them? Where? I get a waffle and 'talking points' back. I kept being told, very calmly, very smugly, I'm not competing, you're the only one competing. That shook me. I wasn't 'competing' with them, I just happened to provide a fact, a piece of evidence. A way to look at an issue in an informed way. I have knowledge and experience in one area and someone who knows f*ck all chose to argue the toss with me. That extreme overconfidence, the gall to dismiss me, my career, my professional knowledge - it came down to 'prove it!'. How can you to someone unable to hear, unable to balance out information to detect an integrity to what they hear or see? My relative literally said 'my friend said' and then that friend is a top, top professor, so there! This online trolling debate style is pervasive. We trashed experts and now anyone claims they are an expert, then we corrupted the evidence base for what were actual experts. We destroyed trust. Experts are often wrong, that's the point, and to be able to say so, then look again, to try again. But but my evidence says this. My truth is this. I gave this person (because they are a member of my own family) a quick summary of one current national situation, numbers and mitigations. And they refuse to accept my 'opinion'.
But that's just not true...prove it! The earth isn't flat...prove it! Er, I have? Prove it!
I would think there are enough children these Frankensteins have experimented on by to do a large follow up study of some kind to assess the efficacy of this experimental and cruel treatments. The key players don’t want to do it because they are terrified if the results.
A study could start way back at origin at Magnus Hirsch’s Institute of Sexual Health in the Weimar Republic.
"Then the editor requested other personal information unrelated to gender medicine or the letter."
few groups are more ardent and entrenched in gender propaganda and beliefs than the woke bro who i suspect are the gate keepers at these entities. in any case, certainly cant trust employees of these groups to maintain any personal information.
Quackery indeed. Thank you for your continuing work highlighting this nonsense. If the tide is turning, it’s not turning fast enough - and in medical circles! Unbelievable.

That's it, don't ask any questions or you have 'far right!' levelled at you. Facts are now opinions, opinions are now facts. Huh?
When I say, sure, okay, let's discuss it, let's openly face why they or certain politicians might be popular, why might that be? Who might feel they speak for them? Where? I get a waffle and 'talking points' back. I kept being told, very calmly, very smugly, I'm not competing, you're the only one competing. That shook me. I wasn't 'competing' with them, I just happened to provide a fact, a piece of evidence. A way to look at an issue in an informed way. I have knowledge and experience in one area and someone who knows f*ck all chose to argue the toss with me. That extreme overconfidence, the gall to dismiss me, my career, my professional knowledge - it came down to 'prove it!'. How can you to someone unable to hear, unable to balance out information to detect an integrity to what they hear or see? My relative literally said 'my friend said' and then that friend is a top, top professor, so there! This online trolling debate style is pervasive. We trashed experts and now anyone claims they are an expert, then we corrupted the evidence base for what were actual experts. We destroyed trust. Experts are often wrong, that's the point, and to be able to say so, then look again, to try again. But but my evidence says this. My truth is this. I gave this person (because they are a member of my own family) a quick summary of one current national situation, numbers and mitigations. And they refuse to accept my 'opinion'.
But that's just not true...prove it! The earth isn't flat...prove it! Er, I have? Prove it!
I would think there are enough children these Frankensteins have experimented on by to do a large follow up study of some kind to assess the efficacy of this experimental and cruel treatments. The key players don’t want to do it because they are terrified if the results.
A study could start way back at origin at Magnus Hirsch’s Institute of Sexual Health in the Weimar Republic.
I haven’t trusted the health system since covid.
"Then the editor requested other personal information unrelated to gender medicine or the letter."
few groups are more ardent and entrenched in gender propaganda and beliefs than the woke bro who i suspect are the gate keepers at these entities. in any case, certainly cant trust employees of these groups to maintain any personal information.
