@MorrellMDmph @AmerAcadPeds

This pediatrician asked a woman dating a man, “what body parts are you using [during sex]?” It’s time we talk to @AmerAcadPeds about the birds and the bees. I know they’re kid doctors, but we should still let them know how this works.

More evidence is emerging every week signaling major criminal insurance fraud in gender clinics. Great work from @HiKidHey and @MorrellMDmph. This time it's Colorado Children's which appears to be using fraudulent diagnosis codes to conceal thousands of cases of hormone and PB prescriptions in pediatric patients. You can see the image for a simple breakdown but also outlined below... Court docs show in 2024, clinic saw 1,203 pediatric gender patients, 549 on hormones, 260 on blockers. The Stop The Harm database, analyzed data between 2019-2023 and relied on narrow filter using gender diagnosis codes (the only diagnosis codes that are lawful to use) and found a total of 297 gender patients with 240 on hormones AND blockers. The one year total is nearly four times greater than the one year total the clinic reported in the court documents.Worth saying again... ONE year total in court records is 4x greater than FOUR year total found from using strict criteria based on gender-related diagnosis codes. This means there are potentially thousands of cases being hidden! Could they be relying on fraudulent diagnosis codes to avoid public scrutiny and make insurance coverage easier for pediatric patients? I suspect that is exactly what is happening. Remember, people go to prison for crimes much less egregious than this. I am confident the wheels are in motion at the DOJ but we need to start seeing results.

Dear WH, I found the person you are searching for:

It’s MATCH DAY! What program did you match into today?  I’ll never forget how excited I was to match at the @AlbanyMed Emergency Medicine Program.  July 1st is right around the corner, and 4th-year medical students today will be walking into the hospital for the 1st time as physicians.  🩺 Your life’s work of caring for patients started in Medical School, but it culminates during Residency.  📁 Behind the scenes, you also start quietly building something most don’t think about until after graduating from Residency… your permanent professional record: (NPI, PTAN, DEA, and procedure logs) start accumulating starting July first. Most physicians manage these manually for decades until retirement We’re automating this from the start, so managing it always feels easy. Start your professional career off right @evercred: app.evercred.com/register Welcome to the profession. We’re proud to be in your corner. Want a free year of Credentialing?

🔬Scientific progress depends on discovery, but also the freedom to question, debate, and examine evidence wherever it leads. In the spirit of that ideal, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of our NIH Scientific Freedom Lecture Series, an exciting new forum aimed at advancing transparency, rigor, and open scientific inquiry. Please join me March 20 at 2:30pm ET for our inaugural talk, titled “Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19” featuring a conversation with Matt Ridley, D.Phil. Guests can attend in person at the Masur Auditorium in NIH Building 10 or online via the NIH videocast page. bit.ly/3PsHAu5

This social contagion memidemic has run its course and will soon fade into history. Except, unlike other playground crazes (yo-yos, jacks, hula-hoops, marbles) this one will never fade for those unfortunate children irreversibly damaged by chemical or even surgical mutilation skeptic.com/article/transg…

@QuestionPDX @prof_curiosity1

@prof_curiosity1 Yep. Bandura, Vygotsky, Piaget, Erikson. All crucial reading, all absent from most education now. Add Popper, so that people understand falsifiability, and gender-woo wouldn't even have gotten past "go."

The Detransition Wave: What Developmental Psychology Predicted All Along The rates of detransition - reversing a gender transition and returning to one's biological sex - are growing rapidly, particularly among young women who transitioned in their teens. Forums for detransitioners now number in the tens of thousands. The phenomenon is not surprising. Five foundational frameworks in developmental psychology effectively predicted it. Their common message: adolescence is characterised by social contagion, conformity pressure, and identity instability. Gender identity ideology both ignored all of this and then exploited it, and young people are paying the price. Bandura: Social Contagion is Not Self Knowledge Bandura showed that adolescents construct identity primarily through observing and imitating others, not through genuine introspection. Online communities have created a near perfect reinforcement loop: transition narratives earn affirmation, community membership, and status. Behaviours adopted through social modelling rather than authentic self knowledge are prone to revision when the individual escapes the modelling environment. The documented clustering of transgender identification in female peer groups, consistent with Lisa Littman's research on rapid onset gender dysphoria, is a textbook Bandura phenomenon. Gender identity theory, which treats self report as the sole diagnostic criterion, has no framework for distinguishing real distress from socially transmitted identity. Kohlberg: Conformity Is Not Conviction Kohlberg established that adolescents reason at the conventional level, they make decisions to secure peer approval, not from independent reflection. Post conventional reasoning, which involves genuinely autonomous judgement, develops only in late adolescence and adulthood. A teenager immersed in communities that celebrate transition and frame hesitation as bigotry is operating under conditions of maximal conventional pressure. Treating that teenager's self report as a reliable clinical guide is a category error. Gender identity theory conflates conformity with conviction. Kohlberg's fifty years of empirical research show they are categorically different things. Vygotsky: Ideological Scaffolding Shapes, Then Traps Vygotsky showed that development is shaped by the interpretive frameworks - the scaffold - provided by one's social environment. A young person whose every expression of distress is channelled through the single lens of gender incongruence, with all alternative explanations excluded, will construct a self understanding built from those tools. This is not support; it is ideological capture. When detransitioners describe how affirmation only environments made it impossible to consider other explanations for their suffering - trauma, autism, depression, homophobia - they are describing Vygotsky's scaffold failure. The language of gender identity does not merely describe inner experience. It constructs it. Erikson and Marcia: Foreclosure Has Consequences Erikson identified adolescence as requiring a protected moratorium, a period of identity experimentation before commitment. Marcia operationalised this: identities adopted without prior exploration (foreclosure) are predictably unstable and prone to crisis in adulthood. The gender medicine pathway abolishes the moratorium entirely, moving distressed teenagers toward hormones and surgery as though these were routine interventions. The detransition wave is the deferred moratorium asserting itself in adulthood, the identity work that should have occurred at fifteen happening at twenty five instead, with permanent physical consequences already in place. Conclusion These five empirical theories converge on the same verdict: the conditions under which a generation of young people has been encouraged to medically transition are precisely the conditions developmental psychology identifies as most likely to produce regret. Gender identity ideology proceeded as though a century of research on adolescent vulnerability did not exist. The detransition wave is the empirical reply. It will grow larger, and the reckoning - clinical, legal, and ethical - is only beginning.

Most kidney stones are made of calcium and were long believed to be free of bacteria. NIH-funded researchers have now found that bacteria are a key part of kidney stones, including types once thought to contain none. This discovery could lead to new treatments to prevent or remove kidney stones. bit.ly/4sCP9wO

Dr. Julia Mason, fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and founding board member of SEGM, examines the weak evidence behind pediatric puberty suppression, the risks often left out, and asks: are these interventions reducing distress, or reinforcing it? archive.ph/g0a1z

It’s good for medical students to learn about nutrition science during their pre-clinical years. If not only for the benefit of their patients, but also for themselves!

DPC IS MEDICINE as it should be practiced: PHYSICIANS caring for PATIENTS. Trusted relationships. Directly paying physicians for their expertise without all of the administrative BS non-needed extra. No one needs insurance. Everyone needs care!
