Welcome
I’m an investigative reporter for the Manhattan Institute. The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute and its affiliates, employees, or representatives.
Approximately three years ago, I became a journalist, focusing primarily on the controversies surrounding pediatric gender transition—particularly the lack of evidence supporting the gender-affirming model of care, and the stories of detransitioners—topics I believe the mainstream media had largely failed to report on accurately and objectively.
My interest in skepticism, debunking pseudoscience, and science communication began 13 years ago while I was studying biology in college. My articles are informed by experts in gender medicine research and emphasize the principles of evidence-based medicine (EBM).
I am expanding my coverage to include topics in mental health, with a particular interest in the impact of the biomedical or "brain disease" model of mental disorders, how mental health conditions are conceptualized and treated, and the growing tendency for individuals to incorporate them into their identity.
My paid substack content is free for detransitioners, please send me a message on social media if you are a detransitioner and would like a free subscription.
I recently appeared on the Triggernometry podcast! You can watch my episode here.
