“The UK has now banned puberty blockers—probably will ban cross-sex hormones too, is my prediction, in the next few years,” said Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.He has been following the massive increase in children identifying as transgender and undergoing what's known as “gender-affirming care” treatment—from puberty blockers to double mastectomies.“[The World Professional Association for Transgender Health] commissioned systematic evidence reviews as part of the process of developing [Standards of Care Version 8]. When it found out that the evidence reviews, specifically for minors, were unimpressive and did not get them the results that they wanted—that would support their medical approach, they suppressed them. They basically instructed the researchers at Johns Hopkins University who were doing these systematic reviews to not publish them,” said Sapir. “Any way you look at it, WPATH greatly deviated from how responsible, trustworthy medical guidelines are supposed to be developed.”His current area of focus is the pushback to gender interventions for minors, including state bans, lawsuits, and a landmark case now at the Supreme Court.“This case has tremendous consequences for what's going to happen in the 26 states that have banned these interventions in minors,” said Sapir.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering up some updates on the 2024 presidential election, noting some news in the continued investigation into the assassination attempt on Trump. Then, Dom announces new developments in the continued effort by Democrats to prosecute Trump, noting that Judge Merchan refused another request for recusal. Then, Dom welcomes in Leor Sapir, Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, back onto the Dom Giordano Program for an in-depth discussion about a piece he published for the City Journal, A Consensus No Longer, which delves into the changing opinions in the medical community centered around gender transitions, particularly for children. Sapir tells of a shifting Overton window that's being forced upon doctors throughout the Country, noting how many believe this will be remembered as a medical mistake similar to the popularity of lobotomies and other controversial treatments.

The amendment to make Human Sexuality instruction Opt-In means that schools had to ask ALL parents permission before they could teach ANY child sex education. Before this law, parents were the ones who had to “Opt-Out” their kids from human sexuality instruction. We know that school districts like Austin ISD and surrounding areas have since implemented a permission slip system to teach Sex-Ed. But we also know that many school districts complained about this process and cannot wait to see the Opt-In law expire! This was a crucial win for parents and children of Texas, because it offers more control to the parents. Sex-ed opt-in expires August 1, 2024.

To hear more, visit www.widerlenspod.comExploring the parallels between the fervor surrounding gender medicine and the hysteria of recovered memory syndrome from the 1990s, both phenomena share a common anchor in the likely resistance of influential figures, like clinicians, therapists and even stake-holders like parents, to change their stance due to personal, reputational, or legal consequences. Read more from Leor about this in his City Journal article linked here:The New Onodas : As evidence mounts against their position, how long will proponents of “gender-affirming care” for minors hold out?A notable distinction between the two phenomena is the extensive institutional capture entwined with gender medicine, a dynamic that didn't quite manifest during the recovered memory craze. But interestingly, as you will hear in this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Leor describes a shared thread that fuels momentum and peaks cultural interests behind both movements - the ongoing internal tensions within feminism and the diverse voices within the feminist spectrum emerging on all sides of each movement.Watch other full length episodes with Leor Sapir here:

Studies have suggested that the number of young people who identify as transgender has exploded in recent years. While activists claim that these people are just discovering a latent truth suppressed by society, some scientists have set out to question what lies behind a phenomenon they term "rapid-onset gender dysphoria."Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has worked with Lisa Littman, a doctor who first coined the term rapid-onset gender dysphoria and laid out her hypothesis in the medical journal PLOS One. Sapir joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to break down what ROGD is, why some activist scientists have failed to disprove it, and what he and Littman have done to advance the theory.Enjoy the show!

Year Zero is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Leor Sapir is a scholar at the Manhattan Institute who has become a leading figure in the ongoing effort to bring accountability to a medical field that has run off the rails. In this episode of the Year Zero podcast, which was recorded in July, we discuss the fast evolving state of the legislative bans on child sex trait modification procedures and the wider project to bring an ongoing medical scandal to heel. Excerpts:Parallels between the opioid epidemic and pediatric gender medicine“There are really interesting parallels between the opioid epidemic and the gender medicine issue. In both cases, for example, it started with medical authority, citing very, very low quality studies, claiming that the use of opioids in cancer patients could be scaled at large, and that the same type of risk benefit ratio would would apply to other types of patients — patients who are not, for example, terminally ill, or even patients with a history of addictions and patterns of addictive behavior. And that, of course, turned out not to be the case. The medical associations got involved and also fueled the opioid epidemic, sometimes for good intentions, sometimes, as in the case of the American Pain Society, because they were influenced by Big pharma money. So there, I think in the case of the opioid epidemic, there was just a clear villain, and the villain was Purdue Pharma. And it was a villain that the American Left loves to hate. Big corporate interests that make money off of health care. Here, I wouldn't want to argue that there aren't kind of pharma interests involved in general medicine, of course, there are, it's a big business, and it's growing too. And we have some evidence that clinics and hospitals that do the procedures as opposed to the psychotherapy get a net benefit from them. And they also, of course, boost their scores on the Corporate Equality Index, and, you know, ESG, and all that stuff. So there's definitely a lot of institutional self interest in doing so called gender affirming care. But I wouldn't argue that the financial motives are primary here. I think that they they definitely play a role. But I would say that the ideology is by far and away the most important factor. But in any case, there are strong parallels to the opioid epidemic. And, you know, this is another example of how we don't learn our lessons.On the capture of American policymaking by the NGO Borg “The ACLU never has to face voters. It's accountable only to its own funders. And those funders are increasingly a small number of deep pocketed foundations, individuals or corporations that give money. And often these people either don't know what's going on or they are themselves highly ideological and out of tune with what what most Americans agree on. And so the first problem is that with the ACLU, there's no mechanism of accountability between these interest groups and the general public in a way that there is with political parties in the general public. The second problem is that these interest groups almost by definition, are going to get more and more extreme over time, right? Because they usually they're founded for a certain purpose, they have a strong sense of mission. And that sense of mission tends to attract people who are ideologically aligned with that mission. So if it's the ACLU — first of all civil liberties, then it was civil rights, now it's what you might call — what you have called “Successor Ideology.” If it's environmentalism, who's gonna go work at the Environmental Defense Fund, who is going to go work at at the UN — all these organizations: environmentalists, people who are very, very gung ho about environmentalism, and importantly, people who are willing to impose very costly policies on the public, because the kind of trade offs that they're willing to accept are much more extreme than the kind of trade offs that the average citizen would accept. So these groups, the ACLU, for example, will attract young, very ideological, very woke lawyers — people like Chase Strangio to its ranks and promote them. And so gradually, over time, these groups tend to become more and more extreme in their positions. And because of the way in which the American political system gives them so much power and so much leverage over the policy process, we end up with the politics of radical policymaking. So it's not that other countries don't have similar problems. But here in the United States, because of how our system of government works, these problems tend to be much more extreme and much more intractable.”Thank you for reading Year Zero.

How do we navigate the controversial and sensitive topic of transgenderism and pediatric gender medicine? Today, we're joined by Leor Sapir, a PhD holder in Political Science, who shares his insights from years of analyzing the legal, policy, and evidence-based landscape surrounding gender affirming care. We'll explore the medicalization of young people, the concept of the transgender child, and the ethical considerations of these treatments. We discuss the contentious issue of informed consent in gender affirming medicine and how, in reality, parents are the ones providing consent. Taking a closer look at the transgender child, we question the validity of the "brain sex hypothesis" and the affirmative protocol.

We welcome back Dr. Leor Sapir of the Manhattan Institute and City Journal to discuss the pernicious misnomer of "gender affirming care". How did that euphemism for mutilation creep into modern language, and why is the European medical model differing from what is being done in America? The Distortions in Jack Turban's Psychology Today Article on ‘Gender Affirming Care' WPATH Finally Acknowledges Europe's Restrictions on Gender-Affirming Care "Gender-Affirming Care" and the Placebo Effect | City Journal Twitter Thread on Misleading Dutch Studies Twitter Thread on the "Sex-As-Spectrum" Thesis Read Fr.

This episode is being rereleased as part of our Top 5 Episodes of 2022 Countdown! If you've ever asked yourself: how is this happening? How are so many institutions completely captured by contemporary gender beliefs? How are medical bodies, educational institutions, and courts operating in ways that seem crazy? Well, then you really need to listen to this insightful and clarifying discussion with Leor Sapir. Leor is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute. A driven researcher with a Ph.D. in Political Science from Boston College, Dr. Sapir previously completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Program on Constitutional Government at Harvard University. His academic work, including his dissertation on the Obama Administration's Title IX regulations, has investigated how America's political culture and constitutional government shape public policy on matters of civil rights.Similarly, at the Manhattan Institute, Dr. Sapir will apply his knowledge of political theory and American government to policy issues, homing in, particularly on issues of gender identity and transgenderism. His inaugural essay in the Winter 2022 issue of City Journal explores a series of recent court rulings surrounding transgenderism, demonstrating how bad ideas translate from fringe academic theory into law and policy. Previous web pieces for City Journal have explored evolving athletic guidelines and media coverage surrounding transgender issues. He discussed these pieces in a recent episode of City Journal's 10 Blocks podcast.Leor asserts the collapse of liberal optimism has brought about mindless apathy and subsequently, a kind of soft despotism. Leor makes the razor-sharp observation that being non-judgemental is our new civic religion. We talk about institutional capture, whether courts are the best place to decipher complex social issues, and what the impending malpractice lawsuits will mean for gender medicine. We also discuss the difference between the U.S. system and systems in progressive European countries, where a reversal of affirmation medicine seems to be taking place. We get into so much here: political philosophy, the virtue of tolerance vs. apathy, and what's at stake when members of a society begin to lose their sense of engagement and responsibility to one another and to truth itself.Links & Resources:Leor Sapir's writings: https://www.manhattan-institute.org/expert/leor-sapirWinter 2022 issue of City Journal:https://www.city-journal.org/magazine?issue=345Leor Sapir's essay on athletic guidelines:https://www.city-journal.org/confused-and-flawed-debate-over-transgender-inclusion-in-womens-sportsLeor Sapir's essay on media coverage:https://www.city-journal.org/misguided-affirmationsCity...

Society is divided over how to conceptualize “human rights,” particularly when it comes to transgender medicalization and school policies. Political scientist Leor Sapir is uniquely qualified to help us understand how we got here. He explains how the laudable legacy of the civil rights movement shaped Americans' vulnerability to deceptive narratives about “social justice;” how the Office of Civil Rights' attempts to address bullying in schools led to the erosion of Title IX protections for girls; and how the American Civil Liberties Union turned against its own mission. This comprehensive deep-dive then shifts from politics to philosophy and psychology. Leor and I explore matters such as virtues and values, rights and responsibilities, hubris and corruption, good and evil, the sexual revolution, and moral instincts. We also do a Q&A, presenting Leor with some of our Twitter followers' questions. Leor Sapir is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

The Left has launched a full-fledged campaign to turn gender-affirming care into a mainstream idea, placing children into a pipeline of socially transitioning, taking puberty blockers, and eventually surgically transitioning. But what these kids (and parents) don't know is that this model is based on lies. Leor Sapir joins Liz to expose the fraudulent studies used by medial “experts” and doctors to push this dangerous agenda and provide the objective truth needed to debunk the lies.

Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, discusses two of his articles on the gender debate—“The ‘T' Piggybacking on the ‘LGB'” and “Transgender Confusions”—covering the policies around public policy, law, and Supreme Court rulings. Beginning with issues such as “bathroom bill” and prisons, Sapir criticises the central tenet of this movement: no debate. Claiming that we are in the throes of a “public mania,” Sapir goes through many of the contradictions within the trans movement's arguments such as the claim that the only proper determinant being a man or a woman is gender, not sex. Noting how the gender movement makes an exception within sports as, at the very least, acknolwdging sex as a reality, Sapir explains how this lobby has no other choice given that the political implications of denying sex would do away with women's sports entirely. He also demonstrates how this “oppressed minority” has gained pervasive institutional capture within a decade and is anything but “oppressed” as he elaborates the American debate through the gender lobby's inability to answer basic philosophical and scientific questions. Sapir explores how this movement has managed to build so much momentum “without actually having a coherent philosophical understanding of the human person or without having good scientific evidence for the transitioning of children.” Get full access to Savage Minds at savageminds.substack.com/subscribe

Should women withhold sex from men until Roe v Wade is restored? That's the newest fad rant from the feminist Left. Have men ever made such a threat?... Dennis talks to Jeffrey Barke, doctor of internal medicine, practicing in Orange County, CA. He has been an outspoken critic of vaccine mandates. Topic today:  Covid vaccine for little kids.  The Left is never satisfied with a “compromise.” They always want more. As pointed out in a very perceptive short Tik Tok video, we went from safe, legal and rare to allowing an abortion til the moment of birth… Dennis talks to Leor Sapir, fellow at the Manhattan Institute. The topic is the connection between Critical Race Theory and the rise of gender dysphoria… Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
