Mira Lazine for Erin In The Morning:

On Monday, a team of nine international experts on transgender care drafted a 39-page response paper to the Cass Review. The paper argues that the Cass Review, including the additional York Reviews, has numerous methodological problems in both how it was conducted and how it interprets its data, and that it has been grossly misused by governmental bodies across the world in justifying bans on gender affirming care, especially for minors. The Cass Review is a review of the literature on puberty blockers’ effects on transgender youth conducted by Dr. Hillary Cass, a researcher who has no prior experience working with transgender youth, and who has consulted with Ron DeSantis appointed Florida medical board members in establishing the Review. In addition to the main document outlining clinical recommendations, it also has several systematic reviews conducted by researchers from the University of York. The Review has been used to justify bans on puberty blockers in England, and has been cited in court cases restricting gender affirming care across the United States.

“The Review repeatedly misuses data and violates its own evidentiary standards by resting many conclusions on speculation. Many of its statements and the conduct of the York [systematic reviews] reveal profound misunderstandings of the evidence base and the clinical issues at hand,” says the paper. “The Review also subverts widely accepted processes for development of clinical recommendations and repeats spurious, debunked claims about transgender identity and gender dysphoria. These errors conflict with well-established norms of clinical research and evidence-based healthcare. Further, these errors raise serious concern about the scientific integrity of critical elements of the report’s process and recommendations.” The article is entitled “An Evidence-Based Critique of ‘The Cass Review’ on Gender-affirming Care for Adolescent Gender Dysphoria,” and is authored by Dr. Meredithe McNamara, Dr. Kellan Baker, Dr. Kara Connelly, Dr. Aron Janssen, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, Dr. Ken C. Pang, Dr. Ayden Scheim, Dr. Jack Turban, and Dr. Anne Alstott. It was announced both by Turban in a post on Twitter, as well as on the Yale Law School’s website. Both McNamara and Alstott are professors at Yale who co-founded the Integrity Project, a project that aims to provide legal justice to marginalized peoples.

The core of the paper is divided into seven sections that each tackle a different element of the Review. The first section focuses on how the Review actually is compliant with established standards of care recommendations for providing legal protections for gender affirming care. The authors compare it to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s (WPATH) eighth rendition for standards of care and the Endocrine Society clinical practice guidelines, finding that recommendations for individualized and evidence based care are consistent across these different documents. The authors state, “the Review does not conclude that gender-affirming medical care for adolescent gender dysphoria should be banned. Thus, it should not be cited in support of bans on medical treatments for gender dysphoria.”

[...] This paper shines a new light on interpretations for the Cass Review, suggesting that it’s based on low quality work and has been falsely interpreted in legal proceedings across the world. The lack of expertise from Cass herself contrasts with the expertise of the authors of the paper, all of whom represent institutions across the world that have decades of research and clinical practice on transgender individuals. Legal decisions made using the Cass Review need to be reevaluated in light of the sweeping critiques found within this paper.

Yale Law School researchers wrote an article debunking the anti-trans Cass Review that has been used to justify bans on gender-affirming care in the UK and USA.

Books of 2018

And here is my my annual book round up! This year I bumped my Goodreads challenge up from 70 to 80, and wound up reading 113 (which is a little less than last year, but some of these books were very long). But I once again benefited from my friend group being so dedicated to harassing each other with more books to read (and also the Silent Book Club that meets in Boston which has given me some time to focus on reading).

But as usual, I’ve bolded my top 18 books, and italicized my next 10 honorable mentions. And I’ve put a strike through my bottom 5 books that I managed to finish. This was a little difficult to do because I reread a few books this year (like Harry Potter, and The Princess Diaries) and I’m not including those.That said, the rereads affected my ratings, and I really didn’t find myself blown away by as many books. This is also possibly because a lot of these books were part of series, but ultimately I felt I had a significant majority of books that were either pretty good or meh.

(I would also link to all my monthly posts for these, but I’d read that links will interfere with searching tags on Tumblr (because this website is working overtime to dig its own grave), so you can just search Books of 2018 on my page for yourself.)

Tech Resources That Help Kids Navigate Puberty

“I don’t forget the initial time I ever shaved my legs, I didn’t even inform my mom,” Bortner says. “I was like, ‘Mom, appear what I did.’ She was like, ‘Oh, I hope you did it the ideal way.’”

Bortner, now an intern at Oomla, said she did not observe any unique channels. And she recognized that occasionally the info she uncovered was not legit—like the time she came throughout a couple of splendor YouTubers providing some sketchy suggestions.

“I remember I viewed a movie titled a thing like, ‘What to do to ease agony on your period of time,” Bortner claims. “They stated to take a laptop when it is seriously incredibly hot and area it on the spot … All of the reviews were being like, ‘Why are you telling persons to do this??’”

While Bortner was savvy more than enough to understand undesirable suggestions when she noticed it, some others could not be. Puberty is commencing before and lasting extended , commencing as early as eight or nine years old. So youthful youngsters are very likely scanning the very same matters that were being the moment viewed as teenager subjects.

Normally, parents fret about what their young children will find.

“There’s a gigantic fear, not unwarranted, that kids will wind up on porn websites when they get started executing lookups for details,” Natterson suggests. “Many do, so it’s not an unreasonable issue. So how do you navigate that?”

Natterson describes that it commences with currently being the trusted grownup who can support vet information—and all over again, preserving the dialogue open.

Dr. Meredithe McNamara agrees. An assistant professor of pediatrics at the Yale Faculty of Medication who specializes in adolescent medicine, McNamara implies grown ups enjoy articles with teenagers.

“I would advise that mother and father, guardians, and cherished types and vendors request this youthful man or woman what they have uncovered and what they have go through,” McNamara states. “I do not believe that in unfettered entry to social media. I believe that it has to be a frequently open up conversation. I imagine the method to this is with the grownup getting type of humble, and ‘What can I learn from my young person who’s heading through this phase?’ is massive.”

McNamara claimed some of her patients pull up YouTubers who demonstrate ideas definitely nicely, and some others whose articles is a little different or perhaps inaccurate. Even when correcting misinformation, McNamara usually will make sure to thank her patients for showing her the content and tells them she’s learned a thing that aids her comprehend them much better.

“It seriously puts the youthful particular person in command of what’s most vital to them, which is their physique and their lifetime,” she explained.

Means for Trans and Nonbinary Young ones

McNamara was a coauthor, alongside with six other healthcare and lawful specialists, of a report in May perhaps that criticized the scientific claims applied as justification to criminalize medical remedy for transgender youth in Texas and Alabama. She has also coauthored a amount of op-eds on the make any difference .

Whilst the net can be severe, specially for marginalized groups, McNamara said she’s located positives for the gender-diverse local community.

“There’s so considerably attention-grabbing data that reveals that social media networks are quite protective of and supportive for gender-various youth, that they come across one yet another and that they build definitely supportive and constructive friendships, that they attain out to each individual other when they could possibly not be reared in supportive residences,” McNamara claims.

11 true crime books that'll give you goosebumps and keep you up all night

Give me all of the true crime content. I want more true crime documentaries, true crime podcasts, and true crime series based on real events. And I especially want more true crime books.

After the successes of the Serial podcast and Making a Murderer on Netflix, there's been a huge swell in true crime stories. True crime fans have devoured docu-series like Wild Wild Country, Evil Genius, and The Staircase. They've heavily debated them as well. Is Adnan Syed guilty? Did Steven Avery murder Teresa Halbach? How did Kathleen Peterson fall down the stairs? (And does the Owl Theory have any merit?) We want answers. And we want more true crime stories.

It's clear that people are fascinated by the shocking true stories of murderers, serial killers, cult leaders, and court cases gone completely wrong. As strange as it feels to say, I totally get the obsession; I'm right there with them. If you've binged every true crime documentary and are looking for more, these true crime books will definitely satisfy your inner Marcia Clark.

1. The Manson Women and Me: Monsters, Morality, and Murder by Nikki Meredith

Citadel Press

available at Amazon | $19.05

Shop Now

In 1969, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel committed horrible acts under the orders of Charles Manson. After they were convicted, Nikki Meredith visited them in prison for decades. In The Manson Women and Me, she seeks to understand what could lead such “normal” young women to commit such violent acts.

2. The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South by Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington

PublicAffairs

available at Amazon | $18.23

Shop Now

How chilling is that book title? The word “cadaver” is creepy on its own (and conjures terrifying images of Robert Durst in The Jinx). The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist tells the story of medical examiner Dr. Steven Hayne and dentist Dr. Michael West. For years, prosecutors in Mississippi considered them go-to experts; they helped put many people behind bars. But one day, their convictions stopped holding up. In the book, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington blame institutional racism, crooked officials, bad forensics, and ignorance for the false imprisonment of many.

3. Little Shoes: The Sensational Depression-Era Murders That Became My Family's Secret by Pamela Everett

Skyhorse Pubilshing

available at Amazon | $18.12

Shop Now

In 1937, three innocent girls were murdered in a shocking California crime. Decades later, after her father made an offhand comment about losing his sisters, Pamela Everett learned that her father was their brother - making her their niece. Everett did some digging on the case and without giving anything away, she stumbled upon some deep family secrets she never expected to find.

4. Sex Money Murder: A Story of Crack, Blood, and Betrayal by Jonathan Green

W. W. Norton Company

available at Amazon | $15.99

Shop Now

People often say that New York City in the '80s was dirty and dangerous. But have you ever wondered what it was really like? Sex Money Murder paints a picture of the rise and fall of a violent gang in the Bronx of the same name. True crime lovers will appreciate Jonathan Green's years of research and his access to gang leaders, police, and prosecutors.

5. You All Grow Up and Leave Me: A Memoir of Teenage Obsession by Piper Weiss

William Morrow

available at Amazon | $17.97

Shop Now

Piper Weiss is leading the charge on a new trend in true crime books: the true crime memoir. In You All Grow Up and Leave Me, she details the story of child predator and stalker Gary Wilensky. But in addition to digging up police records, Weiss also examines the life and death of Wilensky - who was her tennis coach when she was a teenager - from her own adolescent perspective. The result is a deeply felt true crime memoir, and it's going to be your new favorite genre.

6. Hell's Princess: The Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men by Harold Schechter

Little A

available at Amazon | $16.99

Shop Now

There's something fascinating about female serial killers. If you agree, you'll want to check out Hell's Princess. It tells the story of Belle Gunness, a.k.a. Helle's Belle, a.k.a. the Black Widow, a.k.a. Lady Bluebeard, who lured men to her “murder farm,” butchered them, and buried them. Gulp.

7. Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession by Alice Bolin

William Morrow Paperbacks

available at Amazon | $12.79

Shop Now

Have you ever wondered why our society is obsessed with abused, disenfranchised, and dead women? In Dead Girls, Alice Bolin examines how literature, pop culture, and the media perpetuate an environment where these types of stories live and thrive. Further, she explains how stories of dead girls help develop male narratives.

8. A False Report: A True Story of Rape in America by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong

Crown Publishing Group

available at Amazon | $14.66

Shop Now

In 2008, a teenager named Marie reported that a man broke into her apartment and raped her. She was charged with lying about it, but a few years later, detectives Stacy Galbraith and Edna Hendershot uncovered what really happened.

9. In Plain Sight: The Kaufman County Prosecutor Murders by Kathryn Casey

William Morrow

available at Amazon | $5.98

Shop Now

While many true crime books, podcasts, and documentaries explore cases from the past, In Plain Sight tells a more recent story. In 2013, with the help of his wife Kim, Eric Williams sought revenge on those who had wronged him. One by one, he murdered people in his small Texas town. Kathryn Casey investigates who Williams' victims were and seeks to understand why he did what he did.

10. The Trigger: Narratives of the American Shooter by Daniel J. Patinkin

Arcade Publishing

available at Amazon | $24.58

Shop Now

We need stronger conversations around gun violence, and The Trigger is an interesting place to start. Daniel J. Patinkin profiled six people who have shot and killed someone, describing the unique circumstances that led each of them to pulling the trigger.

11. I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara

Harper

available at Amazon | $15.72

If you haven't read Michelle McNamara's posthumously published I'll Be Gone in the Dark, read it. In fact, start with it. Her dedication to searching for the Golden State Killer helped put him behind bars. It's one of the best true crime books of the year, if not ever.

Happy reading!

Dr. Meredithe McNamara for Boston Globe:

Lane was 12 when she told her parents she was a girl. Lane’s birth certificate listed her sex as male and everyone had always assumed she was a boy. Her mother, a clinical psychologist, was frustrated that her parental instincts hadn’t kicked in sooner. Her mother told me that despite her professional background, “I was remarkably clueless about the transgender experience.” She did, however, know that her smart and silly kid was fading away under the specter of male puberty. Lane’s emotional decline was fast, with no quick solution for relief. It took her parents eight months to get their first appointment with a specialized clinic, even after pulling strings with a physician they knew. Still, they were in no rush to pursue treatments until they were fully informed.

As a physician who cares for transgender youth, I have seen this situation play out time and again. Parents move mountains to soothe their children’s distress, and in practice that translates to some of the most measured, thoughtful, and slow-paced decision-making in pediatric health care. While Lane (which is a pseudonym I’m using to protect her privacy) wasn’t my patient, I met her family and many others through my work in debunking anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation — an unusual niche for a physician and one I wish weren’t needed. But a hostile political climate has led many people far removed from the intimate dynamics in families like Lane’s to worry that a child’s disclosure of gender dysphoria leads to impulsive, irreversible decisions. This is one of many misconceptions that has fueled a cruel crackdown on health care for transgender people.

In sorting through several of these misconceptions, Lane’s parents learned that their daughter’s gender identity was neither an anomaly nor a fad. Their research convinced them that over 90 percent of youth who receive gender-affirming care continue treatments as adults, while regret is vanishingly low. They were reassured to see that the claim that transgender identity spreads through social media hadn’t been replicated by sound research methods. And they failed to see how this could apply to their daughter, who didn’t have a phone or transgender friends. Moreover, Lane’s parents couldn’t understand how something so painful, that Lane could barely talk about, could be a passing phase. “There was nothing whimsical or mercurial about this. She knew transition would be hard, and yet it was just . . . true that she was a girl,” her mother recalls. The evidence corroborated their gut feeling — that accepting Lane as her true self was critical for her well-being.

Though eight months of waiting gave them time to recalibrate, they also worried every day about the permanent physical changes of early male puberty. Lane was a beautiful singer and loved her voice, but it was dropping. Would she lose it forever? During the four hours of their first appointment, they met a psychologist, a physician, and a social worker. Each family member filled out a 30-page packet of questionnaires. Time with a psychologist who understood youth gender dysphoria helped Lane say things aloud that she’d been trying to find words for on her own. She revealed that she had felt like a girl for years before she told her parents. She remembered times where she overcompensated with excessive displays of boyishness because being her authentic self was scary. Delays between knowledge of one’s non-cisgender identity and disclosure are often long, a phenomenon well documented in the literature.

The care team carefully reviewed the results and their impressions: that Lane had what we in the field call a “persistent, insistent, and consistent” gender identity that was different from her sex. But they made no prescriptive medical recommendations. First, they wanted to spend more time getting to know Lane and her family. This followed the clinical practice guidelines from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health and the Endocrine Society. If Lane’s family chose to return, this visit could be the first of many. The conversation then shifted to her parents’ list of informed questions about puberty-pausing medications. Her doctors explained the process for monitoring bone density, which can be affected by these treatments, and described the rationale behind using this medication for a maximum of two years in Lane’s case. They talked about potential side effects and plans to manage them. At their follow-up a few months later, Lane’s parents opted for a medication called leuprolide, which temporarily pauses puberty and was given at a dosage that would wear off after three months. Lane’s mood didn’t suddenly change for the better, but her body didn’t change for the worse. That stability gave Lane’s parents what they craved — a break for their daughter and more time.

[...]

With a privileged view into the lives of transgender youth, I know that no two of their stories are the same. Lane and Max evince this clearly. One identifies as a girl; the other identifies as a boy. One spoke up about her gender identity when puberty hit, and the other expressed it for as long as he had the right language. Lane’s parents were hit with a ton of bricks, while Max’s parents always knew who their son was. Their expectations of gender-affirming care are shaped by their different talents, goals, and worldviews: Lane wants to sing in a voice that sounds like her own, while Max wants to pursue life as a different kind of man from what he thinks society expects him to be. Lane’s and Max’s stories do, however, have one thing in common that I see universally in the care of transgender youth: The decisions on whether, when, and how to pursue medical interventions are slow-moving, rigorous, and individualized.

[...]

Nationwide data on youth gender treatments show that the careful approaches I see in my practice are the norm. Although the number of youths diagnosed with gender dysphoria has been increasing in recent years, the proportion of them who receive medically affirming care appears to be roughly the same. In 2017, 4 percent of those aged 6-17 with this diagnosis received puberty-pausing medications; in 2021 the figure was 3 percent, according to an analysis by Reuters. Thirteen percent with this diagnosis received hormones in 2017; in 2021 the figure was 10 percent. When I tell my patients that “the best is yet to come,” I do so with caution because their stories increasingly have something else in common — the threat of political interference. Twenty-three states have now banned the care that helped bring Lane’s and Max’s bodies into alignment with their true selves. The benefits of gender-affirming care have drawn more transgender youth into the light only to generate public fear and scrutiny. I may despair at this societal bait and switch, but my patients carry on. They adjust their college application strategies to avoid half the country and build protective communities. The truth is that politicization and public scrutiny make this care harder to obtain but don’t make it any less effective. They also don’t change who Lane, Max, or any transgender person is.

Dr. Meredithe McNamara wrote an opinion column in the Boston Globe detailing the process of gender-affirming care for trans youth and the careful steps taken during the process.

Maggie Baska at PinkNews:

The Republican-dominated Louisiana legislature overrode a veto from governor John Bel Edwards on Tuesday (18 July), instigating a ban on gender-affirming healthcare for all trans youth in the state. Under the legislation, which is set to go into effect at the start of next year, trans youth currently receiving gender-affirming care will be taken off the course of treatment by the end of 2024, forcibly detransitioning them. Louisiana joins 19 other states that restrict how trans people, particularly those who are young, can access healthcare. Some states – including Alabama and North Dakota – consider it a felony to provide gender-affirming care to trans youth. The Louisiana bill’s lead sponsor, representative Gabe Firment, described gender-affirming healthcare as “life-altering irreversible medical experiments”.

But Dr Meredithe McNamara, an expert in gender-affirming healthcare and adolescent medicine at the prestigious Yale School of Medicine, says such claims ignore the “reality” that trans healthcare has a long history in the US and beyond. She believes that few, if any, of those seeking to restrict such care “have ever been to a gender clinic and talked with people”. Speaking to PinkNews, she says: “I haven’t seen anything along those lines. If you came in and saw how long these conversations are with young people, with their parents, how much we talk about everything, every bit of disinformation would be dispelled. “But the problem is nobody really seems interested in reality, and that’s the thing that I struggle with because I know that’s true. These politicians know that it’s true, but the truth doesn’t matter.”

Gender-affirming healthcare is the ‘only evidence-based treatment for gender dysphoria’

Opponents of trans healthcare often claim that it is an untested area of care. When signing Utah’s gender-affirming healthcare ban into law in January, Republican governor Spencer Cox said “more and better research” was needed into the “long-term consequences”. However, last month, Dr McNamara testified before the US House’s Energy and Commerce Committee, in Washington DC, saying that gender-affirming healthcare is the “only evidence-based treatment for gender dysphoria”.

She explained that this “life-saving care” can include anything from social transition to counselling and medical interventions, such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Dr McNamara stresses that gender-affirming treatments are “far better tested than most things” physicians “provide in paediatrics”. Any claims that gender-affirming healthcare is “new and untested”, or that society doesn’t “understand long-term outcomes”, suggests to Dr McNamara that Republicans haven’t talked to medical professionals about it.

“That suggests that he [Cox] never had a conversation with a group of physicians who provide this care, who devised the clinical practice guidelines and had honest, reality grounded counselling sessions with real scientists,” she says. “I would like us to all move forward as a society where expertise guides health policy.” Trans healthcare bans are part of a broader legislative attack, backed by religious groups and right-wing organisations, on the rights of LGBTQ+ people in the US.

A ‘superpower’ for trans youth

The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Medical Association and many other medical organisations support gender-affirming care for trans adults and young people. Research indicates gender-affirming healthcare leads to improved mental-health outcomes for trans youth, with those who have access to hormone therapy reporting an increase in positive emotions, life satisfaction and self-confidence. [...]

“Trans youth possess the superpower of self-knowledge, which is something that’s really hard for people to get that early in life. For those who know who they are, who are brave and share that with their family members, or maybe their family members have known all along and they get the affirmation they need, it’s just powerful.

Yale School of Medicine expert Dr. Meredithe McNamara told LGBTQ+ outlet PinkNews about the anti-trans attacks on gender-affirming care do harm to everyone, not just trans people.

Many medical organizations support gender-affirming care as life-saving care.
