Yes, that’s what WPATH really is. They’ve been showing the world for years. Where Benjamin and I talk about doctors transitioning patients who claim to have multiple personalities, hand-waving psychosis (after all, we let psychotic patients consent to stool softeners!), the shift to ‘embodiment goals,’ and much much more at WPATH’s 2022 conference in Montreal:
I've been following you for about a year and read most of your great articles. I've also read the reduxx article about high profile scientists engaging in horrific stuff and also advising wpath. again males are suddenly established as the whistle blowers, while women have done the digging (hello matt). Even findings of reduxx's are found in their aritcles without any citation. really disappointing.
significant amounts of work and time have been spent into doing this over a long period of time. I see you and am thankful for your work.
Thanks, Eliza, for all of your research and excellent writing. One of the things I’ve learned is the early alarm bell ringers are often forgotten, and at some point the general population will say things like ‘we knew this all along…’ which annoys me to no end. I will be happy when we reach that point but I will keep sharing your work with everyone who will listen. You have endured so many of these conferences, someone needs to give you a survival medal! Keep up the fight!
I won't tire of reading WPATHs downfall, it's been a long time coming! Child abuse is a crime, people should be arrested and the idea should be taken out of schools! Great piece - thanks, Eliza XX
I'm re-reading some of the articles you linked and I'm seeing such an obvious theme now, one that is front and center in the latest wpath files. "We KNOW this works no matter how much we see it not working." I know I'm not saying anything new with this observation, and we talk all the time about the cognitive dissonance these people have, but I don't think I realized until now how intense, how central to their thinking, and how far they will go to continue believing "it works" until just now. This is a level of cognitive dissonance that we rarely see in people because it also involves repeated instances of doing harm and career-ending legal liability. How do we break through that dissonance?
Eliza’s coverage has been outstanding. I don’t think it’s necessary to wrangle over who has worked harder or earlier to expose this horror. I see some people angry at new allies for not getting there faster. This seems absurd and counterproductive. The best we can hope for is that more people will see this for what it is. We need the biggest tent possible, not the most exclusive.
"OK--but we already knew this, didn't we?" I kept saying to myself reading through the WPATH files. Thanks to you and a few others working for years to expose this scandal. I appreciate you so much Eliza!
And at what point do the insurance companies' claims people start asking each other, as Jamie Reed's Clinic Nurse Supervisor put it in response to encountering 'clown/mushroom/honk' pronouns, "not to be that guy but is there a point at which we say we're not indulging this"?
Great reporting for years allowing continued progress to end this medical scandal. Thank you for all your hard work and exposure.

Has anyone seen Freddie DB’s comment on the WPATH Files? He says medicine evolves, naturally, and it’s none of his or our business.
Ugh, he’ll never see that this isn’t “medical” care, will he?
Ironic that such an activist insists no action need be taken here.

What's the billing code for "Embodiment Goal"?
