CV NEWS FEED // The World Health Organization (WHO) recently unveiled new guidelines expressing support for the “transgender” movement and so-called “gender-affirming care.”
In a December 18 press release, the United Nations (UN) agency announced the “guideline on the health of trans and gender diverse people.”
“The guideline will focus in 5 areas,” the WHO wrote:
provision of gender-affirming care, including hormones;
health workers education and training for the provision of gender-inclusive care;
provision of health care for trans and gender diverse people who suffered interpersonal violence based in their needs;
health policies that support gender-inclusive care,
and legal recognition of self-determined gender identity.
“Following WHO guidance for guideline development a guideline development group (GDG) will be composed of members from all WHO regions acting in their individual capacity (not representing any organization with which they are affiliated),” the release continued.
The group is set to meet February in Geneva, Switzerland to
interpret the evidence, … formulate recommendations, taking into account benefits, harms, values and preferences, feasibility, equity, acceptability, resource requirements and other factors, as appropriate; and suggest implementation considerations and highlight research gaps for the guidelines.
Feminist journalist Helen Joyce blasted the controversial intergovernmental organization’s new policy.
“It’s all connected,” she told TalkTV hostess Julia Hartley-Brewer. “It’s all the same people pushing the same agenda in all the same places.”
“Until very recently, they’ve been able to do it without pushback because they’ve done it in secret,” Joyce added.
She said that the WHO has an “incredibly biased panel of people who have a track record of making basically untrue statements about the evidence base for what they call ‘gender-affirming care.’”
“One of the people on that panel has said we should be stopping all children’s puberties, we should give all children puberty blockers,” Joyce went on, eliciting surprise from Hartley-Brewer.
“It is just bizarre,” the hostess observed. “Why are people listening to the insane people?”
“Once you swallow the initial lie … once you believe that, all the rest follows,” Joyce replied. “What we’re seeing now is the consequence of an initial lie cascading through our institutions and breaking everything.”
“[WHO] haven’t got the strongest track record over the last few years, haven’t they?” Hartley-Brewer commented during the interview.
“Perhaps they could be worrying about, I don’t know, pandemics,” she added.

After the outbreak of COVID-19, many observers across the political spectrum charged the WHO of working too closely with China.
“The WHO’s weak response to China’s mishandling of the COVID-19 outbreak has laundered China’s image at the expense of the WHO’s credibility,” wrote Michael Collins of the left-leaning Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in late February 2020 – weeks before the American lockdowns. “The time is ripe for clear leadership from the WHO based on science not politics.”
Hinnerk Feldwisch-Drentrup wrote in an April 2020 op-ed published in Foreign Policy magazine that “Beijing succeeded from the start in steering the [WHO], which both receives funding from China and is dependent on the regime of the Communist Party on many levels.”

Buck Angel, a self-identified “female who lives as a man,” also criticized the WHO’s new guidelines. Angel wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter):
We call on the [WHO] to participate in, rather than preempt, an open and transparent dialogue about the scientific and societal implications of gender dysphoria treatments, the importance of biological sex, and the best way to protect trans-identified individuals without sacrificing protections for other vulnerable groups including women and children.
“Such a dialogue requires that a diversity of perspectives from experts and stakeholders be heard, that the public be given sufficient time to weigh in … rather than arriving in Geneva with their minds already made up,” wrote Angel, who has been called a “trans activist.”
Last week, critics slammed WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus after he appeared to suggest that people eat less meat in order to combat climate change.
“Transforming food systems is therefore essential – by shifting toward healthier, diversified, and more plant-based diets,” Tedros said. “If food systems deliver healthy diets for all, we could save eight million lives per year.”
