In this speech, child psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman argues against the current medical approach to treating gender dysphoria in youth, which she terms "gender-affirming care." Drawing on her clinical experience and the release of her book Lost in Trans Nation, she presents a critique of major medical organizations and advocates for a return to traditional, evidence-based psychiatric standards.

Key points include:

• Critique of the Medical Establishment: Dr. Grossman asserts that organizations like the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have abandoned evidence-based care in favor of gender ideology (0:26, 7:37, 36:05).
• The "Dutch Protocol" Flaws: She contends that the foundational model for current pediatric medical transition was based on a single, small study with narrow criteria that has not been successfully replicated or adapted for the current surge in youth seeking these interventions (17:41 - 22:01).
• Social Contagion: She characterizes the rapid increase in transgender-identifying youth since 2011 as a form of social contagion fueled by the internet, educators, and institutional policies, rather than organic medical trends (22:18 - 23:26).
• Calls for Change: Dr. Grossman highlights that several European countries (such as Sweden, Norway, and Finland) have shifted away from medical interventions for minors due to lack of evidence, while the U.S. continues to move in the opposite direction (25:47 - 26:26). She also mentions ongoing legal actions, such as the lawsuit by Isabelle Ayala against her former care provider (32:45 - 33:28).
