Who are the Endocrine Society who are applying with Gendered Intelligence, Stonewall & Brook to intervene in the Tavistock v Bell case?

One weird coincidence is that they share a building with my ex-employer CGD on L St in Washington DC...

It is just a weird coincidence. But these streets around K
St are lobbyist-central around the Capitol.

Organisations who pay for this real estate do it to be close to decision making of US government. Thats their focus

(* or the World Bank/IMF for international development).
The Endocrine Society is a "global community" but it is very US focused in its membership, meetings and advocacy

Their position on transgender health has a particular focus on making sure US insurance companies will pay out for it

This is what the ES they say about themselves in the application to intervene

They say its endocrinologists who are responsible for deciding if patients should be prescribed PBs, and assuring their informed consent.

Is that really the case in the UK?
The ES are keen on saying gender dysphoria is not a mental health disorder ....

they talk about brain scans and a lot about intersex conditions
Here is who wrote their position statement.... its US doctors.

Their clinical guideline is a mix of doctors and researchers in the US and the Netherlands ... cheerleaders for child transitioning
This is what Dr Michael Laidlaw says about their guideline

There is a UK Society for Endocrinology - its not them that is intervening here.

Does the Endocrine Society, based in Washington DC really represent the voices of UK doctors involved in assessing children w gender dysphoria?

Is the Good Law Project's fighting fund and intervention driven by the involvement of powerful US interests?

This is a piece I've been thinking about for a long time. One of the most dominant policy ideas in Washington is that policy should, always and everywhere, move parents into paid labor. But what if that's wrong?

My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.

But what if that wasn't true?

Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but it’s a sign of a society that doesn’t value the most essential forms of labor.

The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, I’d be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt I’d be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!

I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.
