Thanks for another excellent round-up. The Leor Sapir article is truly excellent, including a number of really good links. The article is not only topical, but also provides a terrific overview of the issues discussed. The Endocrinology opinion piece is also excellent, and now available through archive, so without hitting a paywall.

I also want to note, for those who haven’t seen it, Jo Bartosch’s article on the Dana Rivers case in California, which has been all but ignored by mainstream press. https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/06/25/the-shameful-silence-over-dana-rivers/

Finally, with full credit to Coastal Elite for spotting this: here’s a really good fact-filled article about who the AMA actually represents: https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/campbells-scoop/80583

Full credit, also, to Lisa, for sounding the alarm early on about what these “medical” associations actually are.

Thank you for the round up, Kate! If you're quoting me regarding the Harvard panel, then yes, it was definitely "holy cow". I wrote to the HSPH Dean that all the panelists seemed to be sticking their fingers in their ears and singing "la la la" (I was angry) about Europe, irreversibility, and detransitioners. She acknowledged my concerns, but punted to the panelists (none of them Harvard faculty). It's alarming to me that this presentation is up there on the public health school's "studio", intended for students, with "the power of pets" and "combatting tuberculosis".
