Mira Lazine for Erin In The Morning:

On Monday, a team of nine international experts on transgender care drafted a 39-page response paper to the Cass Review. The paper argues that the Cass Review, including the additional York Reviews, has numerous methodological problems in both how it was conducted and how it interprets its data, and that it has been grossly misused by governmental bodies across the world in justifying bans on gender affirming care, especially for minors. The Cass Review is a review of the literature on puberty blockers’ effects on transgender youth conducted by Dr. Hillary Cass, a researcher who has no prior experience working with transgender youth, and who has consulted with Ron DeSantis appointed Florida medical board members in establishing the Review. In addition to the main document outlining clinical recommendations, it also has several systematic reviews conducted by researchers from the University of York. The Review has been used to justify bans on puberty blockers in England, and has been cited in court cases restricting gender affirming care across the United States.

“The Review repeatedly misuses data and violates its own evidentiary standards by resting many conclusions on speculation. Many of its statements and the conduct of the York [systematic reviews] reveal profound misunderstandings of the evidence base and the clinical issues at hand,” says the paper. “The Review also subverts widely accepted processes for development of clinical recommendations and repeats spurious, debunked claims about transgender identity and gender dysphoria. These errors conflict with well-established norms of clinical research and evidence-based healthcare. Further, these errors raise serious concern about the scientific integrity of critical elements of the report’s process and recommendations.” The article is entitled “An Evidence-Based Critique of ‘The Cass Review’ on Gender-affirming Care for Adolescent Gender Dysphoria,” and is authored by Dr. Meredithe McNamara, Dr. Kellan Baker, Dr. Kara Connelly, Dr. Aron Janssen, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, Dr. Ken C. Pang, Dr. Ayden Scheim, Dr. Jack Turban, and Dr. Anne Alstott. It was announced both by Turban in a post on Twitter, as well as on the Yale Law School’s website. Both McNamara and Alstott are professors at Yale who co-founded the Integrity Project, a project that aims to provide legal justice to marginalized peoples.

The core of the paper is divided into seven sections that each tackle a different element of the Review. The first section focuses on how the Review actually is compliant with established standards of care recommendations for providing legal protections for gender affirming care. The authors compare it to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s (WPATH) eighth rendition for standards of care and the Endocrine Society clinical practice guidelines, finding that recommendations for individualized and evidence based care are consistent across these different documents. The authors state, “the Review does not conclude that gender-affirming medical care for adolescent gender dysphoria should be banned. Thus, it should not be cited in support of bans on medical treatments for gender dysphoria.”

[...] This paper shines a new light on interpretations for the Cass Review, suggesting that it’s based on low quality work and has been falsely interpreted in legal proceedings across the world. The lack of expertise from Cass herself contrasts with the expertise of the authors of the paper, all of whom represent institutions across the world that have decades of research and clinical practice on transgender individuals. Legal decisions made using the Cass Review need to be reevaluated in light of the sweeping critiques found within this paper.

Yale Law School researchers wrote an article debunking the anti-trans Cass Review that has been used to justify bans on gender-affirming care in the UK and USA.

An open letter to the U.S. Supreme Court

Abortion as reproductive healthcare is a right, PERIOD.

46 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

A cadaver who holds viable organs ripe for life-saving donations can impact eight individual human lives. One citizen can save eight viable human beings, living breathing people with families, likely with social security numbers, even jobs, but most certainly: with economic investment in their very existence. But, without the express consent of a dead person, that means nothing. The body will be processed for eternal rest rendering its lifesaving organs useless to the living. As is legal, as is that cadaver’s right, the right to body autonomy.

Why then do the citizens of the United States come to hear that the supreme court is of the opinion that the same body autonomy granted to corpses in the face of documented citizens is not extended to women in the face of undocumented fetuses? It is the right of a person to decide what their body is used for, before death as well as after. This includes their reproductive rights. In fact, forced pregnancy is an assault on the human rights set forth by the United Nations (UN) of which the United States of America (USA) is a permanent member of. Denial of reproductive healthcare such as abortion is a violation of human rights.

Depending on the supreme court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the already tenuous protections provided by Roe v. Wade will be entirely up for debate. Regardless of your personal beliefs on the morality of abortions, know that unprotected access to abortions will, and has already, resulted in women being charged with manslaughter over uncontrollable miscarriages, families weeping for doctors to abort miscarrying fetuses that are actively killing their beloved wives and mothers, women who are sentenced to death by pregnancy with a non-viable fetus. Even a healthy woman and fetus can, and do, turn deadly at a moment’s notice. To speak nothing on why a person might decide against the permanent body and life changes outside of concerns about mortality. Or how these policies disproportionately affect transgender people, people of color, and impoverished people. Or even how we have proof that reinforcing sexual education, access to birth control, paternity protections, and family welfare programs all are more cost-effective, more impactful, and more humane ways to decrease the rate of abortions.

To restrict access to reproductive healthcare, access to abortions, to any of these people, to do so will kill Americans. Do not cripple Roe v. Wade.

To quote Planned Parenthood, “Our bodies are our own — if they are not, we cannot be truly free or equal. Across the country, some politicians are trying to make decisions about our bodies for us. We won't let the abortion bans sweeping the country put our lives and futures at risk, and we won't be silenced while our fundamental right to control our bodies is taken away.

“Everyone deserves health care that's free of shame, stigma, or judgment. Together, we say: Get your bans off our bodies!”

For the radfems in medical fields, how do we build the argument that the body is holistic, not just a mishmash of parts? What research should we be reading? In terms of women’s health (e.g., a healthy reproductive system is part of overall health even if you don’t want kids) and health in general (e.g., the ridiculousness of treating eyes and teeth as if they’re bonus parts).

Hear this and watch it in its entirety. Chris is a cancer survivor who, like my mom, educated himself and has healed naturally. The corruption he speaks of is why I left nursing school to become a nutritionist. I mean no offense to nurses. I can appreciate the sacrifice and service. I especially appreciate the nurses trying to bridge the gap between medicine and nutrition. For me, nursing wasn’t a good fit. As I was shadowing in hospitals, it became clear that I would not be on the proactive side of health, like I intended. Once I started studying nutrition and its powerful healing effects on the human body, I became enamored. I haven’t looked back since and I will continue to do my part in getting this information out. You are only being told one side, but it’s a human right to know ALL of your healthcare, preventative, and treatment options.

I’ve never feared the Roko’s basilisk or Skynet, the same way Del Toro’s not scared of the horror monsters.

because whether it comes from AI or outer space, we’re going to organize the anthill into math patterns and gifts and we’ll tame each other like The Little Prince and the fox... or not

If after all that it eats us, or explodes the planet to make an intergalactic highway, that was going to happen anyway.

It’s like in Star Trek, The one with the Whales, all we can do is work on having a welcoming environment and something to show for the traits that make us different from other apes.

Besides, I trust logic based sentience over our power-mad billionaires any day.

Spinal Decompression - Put An End to Your Spinal Problems

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic back pain every year, limiting their quality of life and mobility. Many persons with back pain also report experiencing a range of emotional consequences, including anxiety, despair, and a general sense of malaise. Many people's daily activities are impacted by their constant back pain.

A person's ability to go about their daily life and fulfill their professional obligations may be severely impaired by persistent back discomfort. Fortunately, there are a variety of cutting-edge treatments in integrative health services for spine pain and discomfort now accessible. Find out if spinal decompression therapy can relieve your back pain by reading up on it.

What Exactly Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression tables and cutting-edge computer technology are used in a non-invasive mechanical traction method known as non-surgical spinal decompression which is a part of integrative healthcare service. The gentle bending of the spine relieves stress on the spinal discs and the nerves that run through them.

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive alternative to traditional back surgery that provides fast and long-lasting relief from a wide range of causes of back pain.

Functionalities of Spinal Decompression 

Traditional providers of such treatments include chiropractors and osteopaths since they rely on the same core idea of spinal traction. Injured, sick, or slipped discs may heal more quickly if spinal decompression is performed. Since the pressure within the disc is reduced with spinal decompression, more healing nutrients are able to reach the damaged disc and speed up the recovery process.

The creation of negative pressure between the discs is another objective of nonsurgical spinal decompression and integrative healthcare service, as it can aid in the repositioning of slipping, bulging, or otherwise misplaced discs and disc material. The physician can perform spinal decompression on a patient while they are wearing their regular clothes by placing the harness over the patient's clothing in the pelvic area.

Once the patient is safely secured in the harness, they can choose whether to lie on their back or stomach on the operating table. The doctor will tailor the therapy on a computer to the specific needs of the patient. How many visits to the clinic will be required is another factor the doctor will weigh in on.

How Effective Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy for herniated discs has been shown to have a high success rate, that is 86% of patients reported satisfactory or outstanding results. Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy of integrative health services has been discovered to be the only method of creating negative pressure within the spine, whereas conventional chiropractic and physical therapy may provide temporary relief.

In the past, when the body sensed a pulling feeling, it would tighten the muscles around the discs and vertebrae to prevent further damage. The proprioceptive response describes what's happening here. Spinal decompression therapy, however, can avoid this instant response by gradually elongating the spine and allowing it to relax over extended periods of time.

Because there is no stress or strain on the spinal discs during these activation and rest periods, muscular spasms or a muscle-guarding response is not triggered. The pressure, pain, and discomfort caused by a variety of spinal problems can often be relieved with spinal decompression therapy of integrative healthcare service.

Look for such organizations that offer integrative healthcare services to get spinal decompression therapy. It is recommended to discuss with the professionals and get a customized service as per your needs and preferences.
