During the 1960s and 1970s, the psychiatric-survivors movement emerged with the aim of “liberating” the mentally ill. The activists found a sense of purpose as they saw themselves as heroic figures fighting against oppression within the psychiatric institution. However, their

Listen to Dr. Miriam Grossman's (@Miriam_Grossman) powerful testimony at today's Congressional hearing. She expertly counters the assertions made by Dr. Meredithe McNamara, whom you might recall from the Florida Boards of Medicine Workshop in 2022.

For those on the left who think this is justified retribution: Imagine visiting the clinic to see your PCP, and you notice a MAGA flag displayed in the lobby. You politely express your concerns about the flag, and shortly afterwards, you are unexpectedly discharged from the

After an interaction with a Trans identified individual who said that HRT and puberty blockers are safer than Tylenol, I did a simple twitter search to find out how commonplace this idea is. Apparently, it is widely held. Are these doctors really not educating them about the

This study claims a 0% regret rate among trans patients who underwent mastectomies. However, after skimming through, certain issues come to light: Among the 235 individuals considered eligible for the study, approximately half (~41%) did not provide responses. Additionally, the

Suicide is a serious matter, and an individual's suicidal ideation should be regarded as a compelling reason to proceed with caution, avoid simplistic explanations, and refrain from implementing radical measures. However, according to trans-activists, this is precisely the

The existence and significance of the field of “obstetrics and gynecology” rely on its exclusive focus on biological females. If this specialty were to “include” individuals of the other sex (i.e. males), it would, by its very definition, cease to exist. Otherwise, the terms

This conversation would have ended a lot earlier if Trevor Noah had responded by saying, “No, I don’t think that transwomen are women”. Perhaps, like Trevor, you find yourself questioning how many more falsehoods you need to rationalize to prove that you are not transphobic. You

Is it truly conceivable that people who oppose "gender affirming care" for minors look at a photo like this and actually hold feelings of hatred towards this child? How could anyone possibly think that I feel anything other than deep sympathy for a child in this situation?

I do not claim to know everything. As a doctor, I have been trained to think using basic scientific principles & to apply that knowledge upwards. This why I can make certain “bold” statements… because I know the principles. No medical doctor who was taught endocrinology should

The use of demeaning language, particularly directed at women and mothers, is very misguided. Mothers are not birthers, birthing bodies, birthing parents, or gestational parents. Such language reduces women and mothers to their reproductive functions and implies that their

The trans movement seeks to assert its subjective perception of reality as being equally valid, if not more so, than the objective reality that the rest of society is grounded in. When trans activists say that their existence is being denied, they mean that their existence is

I recognize that for numerous trans-individuals, activism might serve as a therapeutic outlet, providing focus, purpose, community, and a means to channel your frustration. But your activism is misguided in many ways. You are doing an exceptional job at undermining your cause.
