LGBT activists and profit-driven medical professionals have long argued that so-called “gender-affirming care” saves lives. This means that deranged and mentally ill people who refuse or are denied genital mutilation, cross-sex hormones, or puberty-blocking drugs may instead commit suicide.
In various instances, proponents of these medical interventions have told parents of confused children that they have a choice.Dead son or living daughter?between ” or “A living son or a dead daughter?. ”
new peer-reviewed research A paper published earlier this month in BMJ Mental Health, a respected quarterly journal jointly owned by the BMJ Group, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the British Psychological Society, puts an end to this myth, stating that “medical gender reassignment” “has no effect,” he concluded. About the risk of suicide. ”
A few days after Blaze News detailed the study’s findings, Benjamin Ryan, a gay health and science reporter with bylines in numerous publications, said: I did the same Published on the New York Post page.But Ryan drew the ire of radical LGBT activist, New York-based GLAAD’s senior communications director. anthony morrison especially.
Ryan has been with GLAAD for a long time. helped person who has Mr. Morrison’s conditionwhich apparently did little to secure some degree of civility from his top critics on Monday.
ryan I got it. The thread states, “A major new Finnish study finds that cross-sex hormones and sex reassignment surgery in adolescents and young adults have no significant independent association with suicide mortality, and gender distress severe enough to send young people to gender clinics.” It turned out that there was no such thing.” ”
“What is independently associated with an increased likelihood of suicide among adolescents and young adults with gender-related concerns? It means health issues,” the Post contributor added.
These and other story-killing insights from the Finnish study clearly infuriated Anthony Morrison, GLAAD’s communications director. I have written, “It’s awful to hate yourself so much that you write about junk science just to make yourself feel better. And as if writing for the Post is ‘journalism.’ Goodbye Felicia. ”
Mr Morrison was initially the spokesperson for a group that gained a reputation for protecting gay people from defamation, but his comments drew scorn from a range of critics.
journalist jesse singal answered“Tony, do you really think that Benjamin Ryan’s reporting on youth gender medicine stems from his internalized homophobia?” Isn’t that a pretty big claim?”
singal Added“This organization’s attacks on journalists, many of them very personal, are completely unrelenting. They never get old. If a right-leaning group acts like this, it’s hard to believe that MSNBC’s 10-day It will be an article.”
Dennis Noel Kavanagh, director of the Gay Men’s Network, said: I got it.“This is somewhat suggestive. Benjamin reports on respected research that gives lie to the suggestion that radical medical intervention is needed to thwart suicidal ideation.”
“Far from being pleased, GLAAD’s spokesperson is extremely dissatisfied and has resorted to unwarranted personal abuse,” Kavanaugh continued. “This suggests a rather tactical approach to the very serious issues that adults are raising, and we observe a special level of venom reserved for homosexuals who go beyond common sense.” It’s a shame to do that.”
Leo Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said: I got it. GLAAD responded to Ben Ryan’s reporting on the latest Finnish research undermining the ‘transition or suicide’ narrative by attacking Ben himself. Flak is always heaviest against the target.” .
Another user took issue with Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s mischaracterization of the study. write“Is ‘junk science’ the Finish National Institute of Health study that found no causal link between trans ideas and suicide in a Swedish-British literature review? Or Is this an organization that promotes sterilization and mutilation to “correct” children? they? ”
“The work he calls ‘junk science’ is incomparably more robust than the rest of the literature on the subject combined.” I have written Tablet columnist Wesley Yang. “He tracked 448 young people over 25 years. His resort to inhumane methods is a frank confession of intellectual and moral bankruptcy.”
In the face of huge backlash, Prime Minister Scott Morrison refrained from responding. When Ryan pointed this out, GLAAD’s communications director said, answered“Lolololol ‘Journalism’.”
GLAAD is abundantly clear about what it expects from its journalists: to embrace and promote the stories they prefer.
Collaborating with LGBT activist group Equality Michigan Guidance released On February 27, he told reporters what they should “know and report,” showing them exactly what to write, what not to write, and how to write it.
