FDA, challenging the expansion of the abortion pill mifepristone, the states of Texas and Florida claim that “inadequate adverse event reporting” has led to the undercounting of “true rates of risks associated with chemical abortion drugs,” meaning that the risks are “therefore… unknown.” Read more here.

ACTIVIST-BIASED MEDICINE?, by Bernard Lane. “Canada’s McMaster University offers ‘gender-affirming care and support for 2SLGBTQIA+ students’ at its Student Wellness Centre. And yet McMaster is also a famous centre for evidence-based medicine. The Faculty of Health Sciences declares itself the ‘birthplace’ of this discipline, noting on its webpage that the British Medical Journal regards evidence-based medicine to be ‘one of the most important medical advances in the past 150 years.’ More recently, the faculty celebrated the advance of a newly launched Equity and Inclusion Office.” Read more here.

THE PROFESSION THAT FAILED, by Drs Jillian Spencer, Roberto D’Angelo and Patrick Clarke. “Transgender influencers use social media to disseminate positive stories about gender-affirming care that encourage transition. The transgender movement provides an explanation for the discomfort associated with the overwhelm of adolescence, while promising the hope of connection and belonging. Adolescent discomfort is normative but often increased in children with histories of adversity or developmental disorders, who are over-represented in children and adolescents identifying as trans.” Read more here.

PRIDE WAS NEVER ENOUGH: THE LGBT WAR ON BIOLOGY AND CHILDREN, by Eli Shepherd. “Truth is not hate. Biology is not bigotry. Children are not political experiments. Not long ago, the conversation in America centered on ‘equal rights’ for gays and lesbians. The rallying cry was simple: Let people live and love without government intrusion. Even many conservatives, skeptical at first, began shrugging their shoulders with a kind of live-and-let-live attitude. Marriage was redefined, cultural acceptance expanded, and for a moment, it seemed like that would be the end of the story. But it was not. It never was.” Read more here.

THE TRUE NATURE OF THE GENDER INDUSTRY, by Jennifer Bilek. “The gender industry is not merely a medical scandal, a women’s rights issue, or a cultural phenomenon. It operates as a profit-driven machine, not an ideological or emotional struggle. Framing it as a medical issue, social contagion, or gender conflict oversimplifies the problem, ignoring how both sexes are ensnared in a sophisticated technological sales campaign. This campaign, backed by influential business interests, normalizes the commodification of reproductive biology, as seen in the rebranding of transsexualism into transgenderism, particularly among young people.” Read more here.

STUDY: HAVING A HUSBAND AND KIDS DOUBLES WOMEN’S LIKELIHOOD OF BEING HAPPY, by Glenn T. Stanton. “It has been a long feminist trope that marriage and motherhood are garbage chutes to misery for women. Feminist sociologist Jesse Bernard warned in her 1972 book, The Future of Marriage, ‘[M]arriage introduced such profound discontinuities into the lives of women as to constitute genuine emotional health hazards.’ Lyz Lenz, in her 2024 New York Times bestseller This American Ex-Wife: How I Ended My Marriage and Started My Life, holds the same hellish view of matrimony. Early in, she explains, ‘Marriage, it seemed, was this: the eternal return of trash on my floor.’” Read more here.

THE BROKEN CHAIN OF TRUST IN PEDIATRIC GENDER MEDICINE, by Leo Sapir. “The American Medical Association (AMA) is the largest and most powerful doctors’ organization in the United States. It has also consistently supported pediatric medical transition, or “gender-affirming care,” which includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries administered to minors. The AMA has passed a resolution promising to protect these procedures, joined an amicus brief in a lawsuit challenging a state age-restriction law, and written a letter urging state governors to veto similar legislation.” Read more here.

MEDICAL ORGS FACE PRESSURE OVER SUPPORT FOR TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY AFTER DEADLY SHOOTING, by Leif Le Mahieu. “Medical organizations that have backed irreversible transgender procedures on kids are facing pressure after a transgender-identifying man murdered two children and injured 18 others at a Catholic school in Minnesota on Wednesday. The shooter who attacked the school was identified as ‘Robin’ Westman, a 23-year-old man who started identifying as female as a minor.” Read more here.
