Flawed Framing of Gender Medicine
- The New York Times podcast frames the Dutch protocol of pediatric gender medicine as correct and non-political.
- This framing misses the fact the entire practice was politically entangled and problematic from the start.
Challenge Pediatric Transition Premises

- Do not accept pediatric transition as safe without rigorous evidence and critical inquiry into the Dutch model.
Include Critical and Detransition Voices
- The NYT should engage seriously with critics and include detransitioners' perspectives.
- This would provide a more honest and comprehensive picture of the gender medical scandal.
