The latest Alabama docs show that SEGM really got under the skin of WPATH and for that I’m down w EBM …From James Cantor’s Alabama court report “The document’s introduction includes a list of adversaries and obstacles which “Eli”

felt were attacking trans health care, including “academics and scientists who are naturally

skeptical” and “continuing pressure in health care to provide evidence-based care.” It is

impossible to exaggerate the fatal importance of Eli’s categorization of scientific skepticism and

evidence-based medicine as a problem rather than the goal. An objective observer would

perceive SOC-8 to be under attack from evidence-based care exactly because SOC-8 does not

embody evidence-based care, although WPATH and other advocates of medicalized transition

assert that it does. As I have detailed in my initial report and in this supplemental report,

multiple, substantial portions of SOC-8 are constructed based on exactly the anecdotal,

ambiguous, subjective, and insufficient features that evidence-based medicine rejects as

unreliable, and is designed to replace.
