REGISTER NOW: Jamie Reed, Anna Hutchinson, Bernard Lane & Moi: Zoom Webinar, Friday July 5, 4PM EST
The perfect vacation activity!
I’ll be moderating a panel discussion for FAIR in Medicine this Friday, July 5th at 4PM EST with Jamie Reed, whistleblower from the Washington University gender clinic and founder of the LGBT Courage Coalition; International journalist of mystery Bernard Lane of Gender Clinic News; and Anna Hutchinson, whistleblower from England’s GIDS clinic, who has been training staff for the new iteration of gender services for England’s NHS.
We’ll be discussing the Cass Review; the reality of setting up the new gender services in England; responses from multiple countries, including Australia and other European nations; and the resistance to the Cass Review in the U.S., among other subjects.
If you have questions for the panel, please leave them below. And if you’re wondering why this is mid-afternoon on a holiday weekend well, you try scheduling people across four time zones very different! And also: this is a good pool-side listen, or post-BBQ cleanup watch. Please join us. It’s free. Register here!
(PS: Sorry about the many-year-old headshot. I have aged quite a bit since then.)
Hi Lisa, two questions:
1. Will you record and post to youtube for those who can't be there for the live session?
2. Will you discuss that report from Yale prepared by Jack Turban and Meredith McNamara, among others, criticizing the Cass Report?

(Note especially that now the gender peeps say it's all about looks, not mental health.)
For Jamie Reed.
Since you emerged as a whistleblower, Dr. Ethan Haim has also emerged in a similar role, exposing that Texas Children’s Hospital had lied when it claimed it had discontinued controversial procedures that are part of (so-called) gender affirming care.
Now Dr. Haim is facing charges for HIPAA violations, which many are portraying as a political prosecution intended to silence potential whistleblowers. Without going into the merits of the case against Dr. Haim, would you please comment on your own approach to becoming a whistleblower, how and why you have avoided prosecution, whether you have experienced any other form of retaliation, and what advice you might offer to anyone considering becoming a whistleblower?
