Stella, Mia, and Bret recap the major events of 2025: Trump’s executive orders and the HHS report, the For Women Scotland Supreme Court ruling, the UK PATHWAYS puberty blockers trial, the McMaster systematic reviews, and Alberta’s use of the notwithstanding clause. Mia gives the Canadian perspective, where things have gone the other way. They also discuss the gap between Britain’s legal wins and what’s actually happening clinically, and why Genspect was raising the alarm about PATHWAYS back in late 2024.
They reflect on their interviews with Gordon Guyatt and Ken Zucker, Susan Bradley’s willingness to say “we were wrong,” and what Mia calls the upstream problem: the belief that being trans is innate and healthy. They finish with predictions for 2026 and whether another social contagion involving bodily harm could follow.
