dbo:abstract
  • The Society For Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) is an activist non-profit organisation that is known for mischaracterizing standards of care for transgender youth and engaging in political lobbying using misinformation which contradicts the evidence base around transgender healthcare. The group routinely cites the discredited theory of rapid-onset gender dysphoria and has falsely claimed that conversion therapy can only be practiced on the basis of sexual orientation instead of gender identity. SEGM opposes informed consent for transgender healthcare for people under the age of 25. SEGM is often cited in anti-transgender legislation and court cases, sometimes providing evidence briefs themselves. It is not recognized as a scientific organization. Researchers at the Yale School of Medicine issued a report which described SEGM as a small group of anti-trans activists. A commentary published in the journal Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology described them as a "discriminatory advocacy organization". Joshua Safer, a spokesperson for the Endocrine Society, described them as outside the medical mainstream. Aviva Stahl stated they were "pushing flawed science" and Mallory Moore stated they have "ties to evangelical activists". SEGM is closely affiliated with the Genspect: seven advisors to SEGM are on Genspect's team or advisors, including O'Malley, the founder of Genspect. (en)
