INBOX: the last dedicated science reporter at The Wall Street Journal, @aylinwoodward.bsky.social, has left the newsroom. This came after the Murdoch-owned newspaper dissolved its Health and Science Bureau last October. NPR, CBS, and WaPo also gutted their climate desks in the last eight months.

Ah yes when you don’t like reality attack science

Tonight, he goes after the National Academy of Sciences, regarding climate change:

It is now in fact, being treated like an inherited estate with a title.

This 2024 paper doesn’t get enough attention in the media.

Four papers under review. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Happy Friday! I may have a slipped disc, but Kodi is supporting me, and we submitted one paper revision and a new paper submission this week. ☺️

BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from requesting or receiving patient information about those who have received gender-affirming medical care as minors at Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford). The is the second order blocking these grand jury subpoenas: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-trans-...

A little promotion update today!

Sending love to trans kids who just want to play sports with their friends at school.

Happy pride! A perfect time to grab a copy of my book to learn about trans kids, so you can defend them. ☺️ a.co/d/0gg7B4a5

I was thrilled for this but sad to report that I had a medical issue (disc reherniation) and will unfortunately need to miss the conference this year.

Against all odds.

People understand gender differently, and I was taught to respect all ideas. But the vitriol I recently experienced was not a healthy debate

Happy Sunday!

Excited to be back at Stanford next week to give grand rounds!

A new study of 445 adolescents treated at pediatric gender clinics in Canada found that after a mean 2.4 years, 94.6% still identified as trns. Of the 353 who started hormonal treatments, 1.1% discontinued them. www.jahonline.org/article/S105...

So nice to see my book at @harvardbookstore.bsky.social for my 15th reunion!

A little Kodi to brighten your day:

I'm urging all of you, especially young persons, to get out and vote on Tuesday if you are in CA.

AI has not improved my life enough for it to feel worth the 20% increase in San Francisco rents from the money influx.

Good morning!

Henlo from Kodi! He misses you all.

Sadly, some trans youth are kicked out of the house when their parents find out they are trans Because of this, schools have policies giving staff discretion regarding when and how to share information with parents This political theatre from the GOP is dangerous

ACLU@aclu.org · 3mo ago

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

As the UK works on a trans bathroom ban, a reminder that such policies are hate-based, not evidence-based: open.substack.com/pub/jackturb...

When offered under current guidelines, regret following gender-affirming medical care for adolescent gender dysphoria is rare. In Texas, “detransition” is not a personal medical decision. It is forced upon people by law. My latest for MSNBC: www.ms.now/opinion/texa...

Texas will now have a ‘detransition clinic’ for minors. It’s unclear what that means.

As a physician-scientist, I am always in favor of expanding support for patients and collecting more research. But a new “detransition clinic” ordered by the state of Texas feels much more driven by p...

The most common “detransition” patients they will likely see are those who have been harmed by the state taking away their medical care. My latest for @msnownews.bsky.social: www.ms.now/opinion/texa...
