New video from an internal discussion by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, known as WPATH, an interdisciplinary medical association devoted to transgender health and gender medicine, shows the group discussing issues around trans medicine.

To understand the group’s significance in this space, major American medical groups recognize WPATH’s standards of care as the authoritative standards for the provision of transgender health care.

In the video, members are seen discussing the challenges of explaining medical concepts to kids who may not have even taken biology yet and data about transitioning and reproductive regret.

The footage, released in a report called “The WPATH files,” shows doctors and therapists talking internally about cases and issues around medical transition for minors.

“It’s pretty shocking,” said reporter Michael Shellenberger. “You don’t need to be an expert in medical science to read these conversations and come away absolutely shocked at the things they’re describing, how they’re sort of making it up as they go along.”

Shellenberger, a journalist who was part of the team that released “The Twitter Files” about censorship issues within the social media company, along with report author Mia Hughes, is releasing the WPATH files in their totality for all to see.

The report argues WPATH is pushing “pseudoscientific surgical and hormonal experiments on children, adolescents and vulnerable adults.”
