I wish I could join but alas, I will be overseas. If you are able to, please attend! I would also like to extend my thanks for the 4-5 people who forwarded this event to me, I like knowing that I have a research niche amongst my peers.

Important thread providing more of the detail than I could be motivated to add. The '10 studies' do not merit detailed analysis of everything they get wrong - & thread is just the tip of the iceberg in what they get wrong, but a useful starting point nevertheless.

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

Australia’s social media ban fails to consider so many aspects of parenting and childhood, let alone fixing structural problems of online platforms. Disability and disadvantage are key issues ignored by the ban. Shocking policy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

The Cass Review is the worst kind of pseudoscience & has at least 13 peer-reviewed critiques of it (all ignored by mainstream media). Streeting now wants a Cass Review for Autism, ADHD, etc. I have characterised these as “contrived authority” strategies (referring to the work of Max Weber) 1/2
