      I was really shocked to see a piece published on @ScienceBasedMed last week where the claims from an anti-trans book were repeated uncritically and without evidence. The piece is now retracted, for which I am relieved. (Though it was immediately given a platform elsewhere.)pic.twitter.com/kLcbU6Ic1E

      This is no different than giving anti-vaxxers a platform, "only asking questions" about rise of autism diagnoses, or "just being concerned" for kids receiving many vaccines. Broadcasting claims that mislead and distort our best understanding and published literature are harmful.

      We should always take care to accurately refer to scientific sources, even more so when it concerns vulnerable groups who already face high levels of prejudice, discrimination, and hate-crimes. The retracted piece did not use citations, instead it repeated misleading claims.

      I am happy so many people took the time to address the many failings of the piece in the comments (w citations). One of them, a doctor with long experience in medical care of transgender youth, was asked by many to write a guest rebuttal on SBM. (link to comment in next tweet)

      A piece addressing these flaws is very much needed. SBM shouldn't give pseudoscience on gender issues a platform, no more than they would publish a citationless uncritical review of an anti-vax book.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/irreversible-damage-the-transgender-craze-seducing-our-daughters/#comment-5422297373 …

      I want to thank @gorskon and @stevennovella for retracting the article. I also hope that you are inviting Rose Lovell to post a rebuttal, to give an accurate portrayal of the science a platform to begin to correct the harm caused by the earlier piece.

          Thanks for this thread. I was very disappointed by the book review and was grateful it was taken down. Thanks for keeping the pressure on and advocating for a rebuttal.
