Friendly reminder that Canadian media continues to manufacture consent for anti-trans policy north of the border.

SEGM is an anti-trans hate group and a source of scientific disinformation. Platforming such groups and their bogus research only furthers their ability to spew anti-trans cruft.
An extract from a National Post article titled "'Considerable uncertainty' remains about gender treatments for kids, Canadian researchers warn". The extract reads as such: "The second review to assess the impact of hormone therapy (testosterone for females, estrogen for males) included 24 studies. That review also provided “very low confirmatory evidence of any substantive change” in gender dysphoria, depression or overall health, according to a release from the publishing group, BMJ Group. Article content Many studies suffered from missing data, small sample sizes or lacked a comparison group. The researchers said they didn’t find data for outcomes of death by suicide. “Since the current best evidence, including our systematic review and meta-analysis, is predominantly very low quality, clinicians must clearly communicate this evidence to patients and caregivers,” they wrote. “Treatment decisions should consider the lack of moderate- and high-quality evidence, uncertainty about the effects of puberty blockers and patient’s values and preferences,” they added. Guideline developers and policy makers should be transparent “about which and whose values they are prioritizing when making recommendations and policy decisions,” they said. The research was funded by the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine, or SEGM, and McMaster University. SEGM has been accused of being an “anti-trans psychological and sociological think tank” by transgender rights groups. Despite the sharp push back, SEGM “has inarguably brought together clinicians and researchers who believe that the United States is becoming an outlier in its approach to pediatric gender medicine,” Undark’s Frieda Klotz wrote in a profile last year of SEGM co-founder, endocrinologist Dr. William Malone."

With Trump's assault on trans existence, freedom and rights, it's critical for Canada to step up on the global stage to support trans refugees, ensure safety for trans folks traveling through America, etc.
