Text of the video
My name is Miriam Grossman I am a bord certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, author and senior fellow at Do no harm. I have been taking care of patients for 45 years.
I am going to use my time to respond to Dr McNamara
First I am strucked by the use of her phrase sex assigned at birth. Sex is not assigned at birth. Sex is established at conception and is recognized at birth if not earlier. Dr Macnammara claims that her views are science based but the claim that sex is assigned at birth is without scientific base. This language misleads people especially children into thinking that male and female are arbitrary designations and can change. That is simply not true. Dr Macnammara claims that social and medical interventions are the only evidence based treatments and that scientific evidence shows that it is life saving. Without it she is warning us kids would commit suicide. Well a growing number of countries have effectevly banned the care to which she refers and thanks God there has been no wave of suicides or other mental catastrophies. Three years ago Finland placed strict limitations on medical interventions on minors. Sweden did the same thing after a 14 year od girl was found has osteoporose spinal fractures from puberty blockers. An investigation concluded : the risk of … puberty and hormon treatment for those under 18 years currently outway the possible benefits. The UK conducted a review and called the evidence very low. They have also placed severe restrictions on the care that Dr Macnamara calls life saving. Norway also analised the data and has made similar changes in policy. A national academy of medecine in France warned : Great medical caution must be taken for children and adolescents given the vulnaberility of this population and the many undesirable even serious complications the therapy costs. Doctors in Australia and New Zealand have published more statements. Is Dr Macnamara suggesting that all these countries are rejecting evidence based treatments and placing their kids at risk of suicide? Regarding that point of view Finland gender expert Dr Rita Kaltiala said « It’s purposful disinformation the spreading of which is irresponsible, » All 7 countries concluded « the kids don’t need their development interrupted, the girls don’t need their periods stopped and their voices lowered and the boys don’t need to grow breasts. What they need is psychotherapy. I have other objections to Dr Macnamara testimony. She insisted her position only hers represents standard medical care. What she doesn’t want you to know is that there is no standard, there is a fearst debate and on the side oposite to her there stand prominent figures as Steven Levine, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, Dr. Paul McHugh, Dr James Cantor among others. These doctors are giants in the field. They have been treated transgender patients and gathering data and publishing papers about them and i mean not disrespect you, but before Dr. McNamara was born. The point is that those veteran clinicians and others who have wisdom and experience are ignored because they disagree with the current narrative. They are against medical interventions for the same reasons that those seven countries are. There is no evidence of long term benefit but there is evidence of harm. I’ll end by Quoting Jamie Reed the corragious wisselblower from the children gender clinic in St Louis i believe that their hospital received the medical education found She said that doctors of that clinic said : we are building the plane while we are flying Thats how they described the treatment after gender clinic. Our precious tax dollars should not support such a perilous experiment
