Psychiatrist DEBUNKS Gender Ideology Lies

my name is Miriam Grossman I am a board certified child Adolescent and adult psychiatrist author and Senior fellow at Do no harm I have been taking care of patients for 45 years I'm going to use my time to respond to Dr McNamara first I'm struck by her use of the phrase sex assigned at Birth sex is not assigned at Birth sex is established at conception and it's recognized at Birth if not earlier Dr McNamara claims that her views are science based but to claim that sex is assigned at Birth is without any scientific basis whatsoever its language misleads people especially children into thinking that male and female are arbitrary designations and can change that is simply not true Dr McNamara claims that social and medical interventions are the only evidence-based treatment and that scientific evidence shows it is life-saving without it she's warning us kids will commit suicide well a growing number of countries have effectively banned the care to which she's referring and thank God there's been no wave of suicides or other mental health catastrophes three years ago Finland placed strict Limitations on medical interventions for minors Sweden did the same thing after a 14 year old girl was found to have osteoporosis and spinal fractures from puberty blockers an investigation concluded quote the risks of anti-puberty and hormone treatment for those under 18 currently outweigh the possible benefits the UK conducted a review and called the evidence very low they've also placed severe restrictions on the care that Dr McNamara calls life-saving Norway also analyzed the data and has made similar changes in policy the National Academy of Medicine in France France warned quote great medical caution must be taken in children adolescence given the vulnerability of this population and the many undesirable even serious complications the therapies cause doctors in New Zealand and Australia have published similar statements is Dr McNamara suggesting that all these countries are rejecting evidence-based treatment and placing their kids at risk of suicide regarding that point of view finland's gender expert Dr Rita calteola said quote it's purposeful disinformation the spreading of which is irresponsible all seven countries and Florida too of course concluded that kids don't need their development interrupted the girls don't need their periods stopped and their voices lowered and the boys don't need to grow breasts what they need is psychotherapy I have other objections to Dr McNamara's testimony she insists that her position only hers represents standard medical care what she doesn't want you to know is that there is no standard there's a debate there's a fierce debate and on the side opposite her stands such prominent figures as Stephen Levine Kenneth Zucker Paul McHugh and James Cantor among others these doctors are giants in the field they have been treating transgender patients and Gathering data and Publishing papers about them and I mean no disrespect here but since before Dr McNamara was born the point is that those veteran clinicians and others who have wisdom and experience are ignored because they disagree with the current narrative they're against medical interventions for the same reason those seven countries are there is no evidence of long-term benefit but there is evidence of harm I'll end by quoting Jamie Reed the courageous whistleblower from the children's gender clinic in St Louis I believe that that hospital receives the medical education funding that we're discussing today she said that doctors at that clinic said we are building the plane while we are flying it we are building the plane while we are flying it that's how they described the treatment at their gender Clinic our precious tax dollars should not support such a perilous experiment thank you
