Last week saw the release of leaked documents from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Running to over 100 pages, the documents given by one or more whistleblowers to Michael Shellenberger provide a disturbing insight into the realities of what “gender medicine” looks like in practice around the globe in the words of those directly involved.
WPATH is a group of self-appointed experts who draft the influential “Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People,” now in its eighth edition. These standards are used by health professionals worldwide and are held out as “best practice” in this area. However, beneath a veneer of medical soundness, respectability, and certainty, the files paint a very different impression.
