A transgender medical group said its influential guidelines are “opinions” in a court motion against government plaintiffs — an acknowledgment that critics call a huge confession. This narrative unmasks WPATH as purely agenda-driven after health institutions embraced its pro-sex-change “Standards of Care” as scientific consensus, health experts and watchdog groups said. “‘Just a guideline’ yet WPATH has systematically infiltrated and bullied nearly every mainstream medical organization into signing on to it!” All that government officials seek is to “prohibit WPATH from expressing scientific opinions” via “censorship,” WPATH’s attorneys argued. That includes one federally funded Chicago facility with a senior adviser who co-wrote WPATH’s Standards of Care.
