| Dr. Miriam Grossman is my guest. | |
| She is a child and adolescent psychiatrist in New York City. | |
| And given her views, living in New York City does entail some level of masochism. | |
| But for me to psychoanalyze a psychiatrist takes Chutba. | |
| I have to say. | |
| Bet you you never got an introduction like that, Miriam Grossman. | |
| Yeah, that's... | |
| But it look, what am I gonna say? | |
| You're in New York City, you're a conservative psychiatrist. | |
| Not exactly a large community of you. | |
| Is that fair? | |
| There's more than you might think. | |
| Even in New York City. | |
| Underground, underground. | |
| Underground. | |
| That is hilarious. | |
| But you're speaking me from above ground, hopefully. | |
| Her most recent book is Lost in Transnation. | |
| I had her on for that, a child psychiatrist guide out of the uh out of the what is it? | |
| Out of the madness. | |
| Yes, out of the madness, yes. | |
| All right. | |
| So we're talking today about uh talking about madness. | |
| So let me get this clear. | |
| Yes, it's on their what website, right? | |
| The American Psychiatric Association, another group for my listeners, they're ruined by the left. | |
| American Psychiatric Association publishing gender affirming psychiatric care, edited by Teddy Get M D and MS. What's MS? | |
| Masters in Science? | |
| What is MS? | |
| Okay. | |
| And Alex Kiroglian, MD. | |
| By the way, are you familiar with either one, Dr. Getz or Dr. Caroglian? | |
| Well, I don't know them personally, but I looked at their resumes. | |
| And I hope they both went to Harvard Medical School. | |
| Well, the first author uh is actually uh only a first or second year resident in psychiatry. | |
| So really that's fascinating. | |
| She has very limited experience, certainly as a doctor and as a psychiatrist, very limited. | |
| Um and the second author, I believe is at is in Boston, um and is a well-known gender activist. | |
| So this textbook that you mentioned, gender-affirming psychiatric care, I'm sure that most of your audience knows that so-called gender-affirming care means that if, for example, a girl comes into my office and she declares she's a boy, I must rubber stamp that identity. | |
| Uh and this is regardless of her age or whatever other mental health challenges she may have. | |
| So that's gender-affirming care. | |
| Uh forgive me one second. | |
| Don't don't will will you promise me you'll remember what you wanted to say? | |
| Because I just want to comment for one second on the title. | |
| The title is Orwellian. | |
| It's a gender-denying care. | |
| Yes, I was just about to say that gender-affirming care demands us doctors and therapists that we endorse a delusion. | |
| And so that's the first thing that's problematic. | |
| But the second thing is that there's no quality evidence that it even helps patients in the long run. | |
| And that's why numerous European countries have rejected gender-affirming care. | |
| Now, Dennis, we psychiatrists depend on the APA for evidence-based guidance. | |
| And so do doctors and many other specialties, psychologists, social workers, school guidance counselors. | |
| So we're talking about a massive number of medical and mental health professionals. | |
| It's a very big deal that the APA is promoting their book, this book, as an essential textbook. | |
| Because if you open it up to practically any page, you see that it is anything but that. | |
| And what it is is a political manifesto. | |
| Everything, Dennis, is seen through the lens of social injustice. | |
| It's all about victims and oppressors. | |
| And I Could be here for a long time with you with examples. | |
| I'll just give you a few. | |
| For example, this book says that psychiatry and psychology have perpetuated the oppression of youth that they describe as transgender, nonbinary, and or gender expansive. | |
| They say, Dennis, that people like you and I who don't feel disembodied, who don't deny or struggle against the material reality of our bodies, they had to create a new category for people like us, so they call us cisgender. | |
| So they say that cisgender people are in power and that we prevent the access to quality medical care to the oppressed minority of gender distressed youth. | |
| So it goes on and on. | |
| All right, good. | |
| You'll give me more examples. | |
| I'm speaking to Dr. Miriam Grossman, a psychiatrist in New York City, and the latest horror from the American Psychiatric Association. |
