Pain, confusion and compassion: How the US has reached a trans ‘tipping point’
​The New York Post, October 19, 2024
The past three years have been painful for transgender-identified youths. 
Republicans have blanketed the nation with bans on gender-transition treatments for minors, often pairing them with restrictions on trans bathroom access and sports participation. The years to come are expected to bring more turmoil for these vulnerable youths as the walls close in on pediatric gender medicine.

A Finnish study is changing how we approach trans kids  
New York Post, February 24, 2024
The movement backing gender-transition treatment for children is built on the claim that pediatric medical interventions are not only “medically necessary” – but truly “life saving.” However, no researchers have ever tried to figure out whether this claim is true. Until now. A major new study out of Finland found that such treatment didn’t appear to have any significant effect on suicide deaths.

The New York Post, June 2022
​
Vladimir Putin is so worried about enemies getting a look at his poop that he reportedly employs a special team of people who retrieve his excrement wherever and whenever he travels. ​His fears are not far-fetched: Experts in fecal analysis say a stool sample can give many insights into an individual’s overall health and diet, including their medical treatments.
