New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 105: Pediatric Disenchantment with Julia Mason, MD https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-105-pediatric-disenchantment-with-julia-mason-md/
Julia Mason is a practicing pediatrician, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and a founding member of the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM). A politically homeless, feline-affirming, bleeding-heart liberal who wants to pause pediatric transition, Mason raises grave concerns about the “affirmation model” which locks in adolescent identities at a time kids cycle through them as part of growing up. We learn the AAP actively suppresses internal dissent while profiting from corporate endorsements; that there are no empirical criteria for identifying which kids are “actually” trans; that small children believe whatever adults – especially their parents – tell them; and that Corinna is drinking a lot of electrolytes.
