Miriam Grossman, M.D., a distinguished child psychiatrist with over 40 years of experience, has emerged as a prominent figure in the battle against the gender industry. Witnessing her commanding presence during a House Committee meeting in 2023, left me captivated. She was there testifying on behalf of a bill that would make funds unavailable for hospital training programs for pediatricians to learn and practice “gender affirming care.”
Dr. Grossman skillfully dismantled her opponents' arguments with the accuracy of a seasoned military strategist. Her words struck with such precision that one could almost hear the impact like explosions.
During her testimony, Dr. Grossman made several critical points:
"There is no evidence of long-term benefit, but there is evidence of harm."
"Medicine is currently entangled with politics."
"Our precious resources should not support such a pernicious experiment."
"Sex is established at conception, not assigned at birth."
"Sex is not an arbitrary designation that can change."
In contrast to other voices within the resistance against gender ideology, Dr. Grossman's statements are strategically focused on challenging her opponents, rather than ensuring universal comfort.
Dr. Grossman stands as a lone general amidst a landscape of organizations and individuals engaged in combat against an industry seeking to dismantle human reproductive sex for profit. Her unwavering stance, notably outside the moderate center where many discussions unfold, is resolute and unambiguous. While others tread cautiously, attempting to appease various stakeholders, Dr. Grossman directs her firepower squarely at the medical industry's assault on young lives, leaving behind a trail of clarity amid a cacophony of cultural confusion.
Despite her extensive expertise and contributions, and her book, “Lost in Trans Nation/A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness”, having been published in July 2023, the same year the prominent gender NGO, Genspect, held its large, international “gender conference,“ in Colorado, Dr. Grossman was strangely absent from the event. Genspect, positions itself as a leading force against the harms of gender ideology, though it seems to perpetuate the very narratives it claims to oppose.
While Miriam Grossman, a physician, aims to dismantle the gender industry, organizations like Genspect adopt language reminiscent of their adversaries, blurring the lines between advocacy and acquiescence:
“Our international organization includes professionals, trans people, detransitioners, and parent groups who work together to advocate for a non-medicalized approach to gender diversity.”
They draw on the same language and the same obfuscations as the gender industry, separating the concept of gender from sex and highlighting it as a solidfied concept. Their language mirrors that of the gender industry:
* “Our adept team recognizes the vibrant tapestry of today’s work and school environments. We tailor our training sessions to the diverse landscape of modern life, ensuring that every individual’s perspective is respected and understood while also ensuring that one individual’s inclusion does not come at the expense of another’s.”
* “Our training sessions delve deep into the subjects of inclusivity, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental well-being, scientific advancements, and actionable strategies that empower organizations to tackle gender-related issues effectively.”
Genspect’s The Bigger Picture conference in November 2023, in Colorado, was preceded by another Bigger Picture conference in Ireland in April 2023, from which Dr. Grossman was also absent.
SEGM (Society For Evidence Based Gender Medicine), an organization aligned with Genspect also held a conference, in 2023, in NYC. The conference featured more than 30 experts from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I reached out to Dr. Grossman to inquire as to whether it was an oversight that she was not present, though she resides in NYC. Her absence from three significant conferences about the harms made manifest by gender ideology, seemed illogical, given her powerful voice and experience. She had not been invited to any of the events.
While various and popular individuals, and establishments, are towing a moderate line in public, trying to please politicians, consumers of artificial sex characteristics, detransitioners, men with fetishes, and parents of children caught in the maw of a marketing blitzkrieg by the medical-tech industry, Dr. Grossman attacks the heart of the issue - the medical industry assaulting young people.
My sense is, Dr. Grossman, is the real threat to the gender industry, not the organizations that become part of the system in effort to create change.
Genspect and their “gender” events are proliferating. Genspect is now in twenty-five countries. Where will they be if we are able to stop the gender industry?
Does supporting Dr. Grossman, necessarily mean that the work of Genspect and their ilk, should not be supported? Can’t we all just get along?
Genspect, unlike Dr. Grossman, sees the use of wrong sex pronouns as an individual choice. The pronoun issue, and their stance on it, exemplifies the problems currently plaguing a real resistance to this industry. If you have the luxury of choosing to use accurate language that reflects the biological reality of sex and you choose not to for your own comfort, the only real choice you’ve made is to align with the system that is commodifying human reproductive sex and weakening the resistance against it.
People who are at the highest end of the pecking order, which is below the ruling class, often make this choice to secure some perks (speaking engagements, book deals, large philanthropic donations to their NGOs) that keep their own head above water, while they stand on the heads of those below, who have no choice and are forced to speak lies.
The gender industry is an industry of the ruling class. While Genspect, and organizations like them, are intent on creating a better NGO that keep the illusion of “gender people” alive, they do so at the expense of everyone suffering under this regime. This is privileged activism and the only ones helped by it are those participating in it. Furthermore, any gain from this pursuit is temporary since it ultimately feeds the system that will come for those who Genspect is purportedly trying to help. This is class warfare, and Genspect, as it grows, is already positioning itself to be beyond critique, and is overpowering more urgent voices, such as that of physicians like Dr. Grossman.
Whereas a real resistance would have warriors lining up behind Dr. Grossman, emulating her fierce truth telling, providing clarity and an example of speaking courageously, the resistance is being captured by NGOs that replicate what it is they are purportedly fighting. The NGOs get the big donations, create personalities that are platformed to raise their personae, and grow their brand as they blend themselves in with what they had originally set themselves up to end.
At a certain point, people will have to choose whether they want to continue supporting the gender industry, or if they, like Dr. Miriam Grossman, want to take it down.
