3/ "The theory seeks to avoid letting kids transition." That is fascinating, particularly given that the biggest published study in "the theory" specifically says that intensely dysphoric kids are less likely to desist.pic.twitter.com/aJ4jQpd0Ze
4/ Here he is conflating an (overstated) diagnostic distinction between DSM IV and V criteria and "therapy protocols." This is a total misunderstanding of how the two clinics responsible for most of the desistance research operated.pic.twitter.com/K7VGvz6M75
5/ "Conservative echo chambers" like the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's Standards of Care. Or any clinician you ask about this ever. Or the APA. Or SAMHSA. Or the Endo Society. You know, the alt-right. Nazis, basically.pic.twitter.com/l7tXRDrkKh
6/ By this standard, if you are a guy and take an implicit association test -- the source of this claim -- and don't identify as quickly with the concept of maleness as other guys do, you aren't really a guy. Sorry, bruh.pic.twitter.com/1aTeeXAvI8
7/ External Review didn't say that. It said the authors, who messed up many details, *couldn't rule out* the possibility. But you can't check b/c after my article went up CAMH pulled the whole review off the website, likely because of a major libel issue. The mini-documentpic.twitter.com/kMOtCXsMo0
8/ CAMH replaced it with contains neither the terms 'reparative' nor 'conversion.' This is legally dangerous language for ThinkProgress to be using given that they are misrepresenting what the original doc said. But hey, gotta be an ally! https://www.camh.ca/en/hospital/about_camh/newsroom/news_releases_media_advisories_and_backgrounders/current_year/Documents/GIC-Review-26Nov2015.pdf …
9/ They screwed this whole part up. Zack and everyone quoted. As did I in my coverage! So I can't hate too much. But I emailed Zack 5 days ago notifying him and the error's still there. (Teacher's pet voice:) Corrected my own piece the next day. https://medium.com/@jesse.singal/everyone-myself-included-has-been-misreading-the-single-biggest-study-on-childhood-gender-8b6b3d82dcf3 …pic.twitter.com/rKHLEjUJdR
10/ Maybe five days isn't enough time? But after my reporting showed that an accusation he echoed about Zucker was 100% false, it took him six months to correct it. You know, just normal journalism stuff.pic.twitter.com/UyH2WAGBMR
11/ Oh wow I missed this one. How can you possibly extrapolate me saying "meet all the necessary criteria" to me saying "meet all the criteria"? Is this a severe-reading-comprehension-issues thing or a genuine dishonesty thing? I'm torn.pic.twitter.com/x8dJBJXlvR
