      4/The vast majority of the other findings didn't reach statistical significance. This could just be a sample-size issue, but obviously SBM would not tout evidence of this quality if it was in the service of arguing *against* blockers or hormones. They also cite Jack Turban'spic.twitter.com/tNcVqSaUv1

      5/ "2020 study of pubertal blockers and suicidal ideation" which supposedly found an important link. That study has been torn to shreds, in part because the participants demonstrably did not know what puberty blockers are.https://mobile.twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1407459263111389193 …

      3/One point I make is that a study by Jack Turban et al purporting to find a causal link between access to blockers and reduced suicidal ideation received viral coverage but is so broken, on such a basic level, that it simply can't be treated as evidence for this. It isn't close. pic.twitter.com/zHCPMzVD15

      6/After citing a study conducted on young people clearly confused about whether they had been put on blockers, the authors write "You cannot blind a trans individual to whether or not they received a gender affirming intervention." I guess not, but clearly there can be confusion!

      7/ Zooming out, what's worrisome here is the way @gorskon and @stevennovella gesture vaguely at uncertainty in the lit without mentioning *any* of the major European medical authorities that are alarmed about what's going on in youth GD care.

      8/ Also worrisome for an ostensibly evidence-based org: the recitation of plainly false activist talking points. It is not simply not the case that you could be diagnosed w/something in the DSM IV just by "having a gender identity that differs from the gender assigned at birth."pic.twitter.com/jk8pPjo3Cq

      9/ Ppl have been confused about this for *years*, in part because the listing was "gender identity disorder" in IV and "gender dsyphoria" in 5, but it's still a disorder, and in neither case was "My gender identity is different from my sex assigned at birth" sufficient to qualify

      10/ I do think what's going on here is, to a certain extent, ideological capture. It's anecdotal and Twitter nonsense, yes, but for someone like Gorski to tweet "OK Karen" at J.K. Rowling suggests he might see this as a matter of allyship more than careful scientific evaluation.pic.twitter.com/TFxstIBIln

      11/ I had planned on writing about this and reached out to Gorski and Novella for comment. What they sent me in response suggested they had bought some clearly false claims, as I tried to point out! They stopped answering my (admittedly pointed) questions.pic.twitter.com/YtOrOy8aDo

      12/ At the very least, @gorskon and @stevennovella should correct their claim that a study in which the authors said they didn't have the stats to truly measure suicidality showed reduced suicidality. That is undeniably an error from a science comms perspective. I would argue

      13/ that, as science communicators, it is also imperative for them to highlight the problems with the Turban study given how large it looms in a research ecosystem with so little data on that vital question. fin

      14/ Last thing: Compare the authoritative-sounding way the authors, who have no expertise in this area, summed up the evidence, versus how the NHS did in a systematic review. This is irresponsible. Full-stop. https://www.evidence.nhs.uk/document?id=2334889&returnUrl=search%3ffrom%3d2021-03-10%26q%3dEvidence%2bReview%26to%3d2021-04-01 …pic.twitter.com/g5g0Ybi22C

          15/ If you are a long-time SBM reader, the most pressing question should be about this discrepancy. I'm really baffled by this and think it is genuinely dangerous when trusted institutions give such slanted guidance that runs so far ahead of the evidence.

          17/ Now there's another piece. SBM is botching this completely. This is a very confusing mish-mash of mostly-false activist claims that have been circulating for years. For example, the author means the Dutch, not the Canadians. But the Dutch very specifically differentiatedpic.twitter.com/X6R6aAemAu

          18/ between merely GNC and GD kids, because their entire model depending on figuring out if the GD was going to stick around (or do you think their goal was to put kids who liked wearing dresses but who weren't dysphoric on puberty blockers)? This will mislead so many people.
