SUMMARY:LGBTQ Study Group - LEXI KOREN
DESCRIPTION:LEXI KOREN \n\n\nThe Global Assault on Youth Gender-Affirming Care: \nHow Opponents Hijacked the Narrative \n\nWednesday\, December 11\, 2024 \n8:30 – 10:00 PM (EST) \n\nOn Zoom only\, RSVP below  \nhttps://wawi.wufoo.com/forms/s1v361i7149pvzz/ \n\n  \nDescription: Over the past five years there has been an unprecedented assault on gender-affirming care for youth across the United States\, Canada\,Western Europe\, and Australia. This talk focuses on the international network of “Gender critical” feminists\, anti-affirming doctors and psychologists\, and the Christian right which have successfully hijacked the narrative around these treatments. It also focuses on how mainstream media in the US and abroad have bought into these narratives and how their coverage has been used to restrict care for this population. \n  \nSpeaker: Lexi Koren has worked in electoral politics and advocacy for over 14 years. She began researching and writing about the assault on youth gender-affirming care in 2022 after seeing the flood of disinformation on the topic and lack of adequate response. She published one of the first articles in the US that interviewed trans people in Sweden and Finland to understand why their countries were restricting trans health care. She writes media criticism of youth gender-affirming care coverage for FAIR\, and her recent piece on the Cass Review was one of the outlet’s top 10 articles of the year. She presented at the US Professional Association for Transgender Health (USPATH) conference in 2023 on the spread of disinformation about adolescent gender affirming care. \n  \n\n\nPlease note: \n\n  \n\nRegistrants will receive the Zoom link to attend this meeting via email from \nThe William Alanson White Institute with subject line: \n“LGBTQ Study Group 2024-2025”. \nLGBTQ Study Group events are not recorded. \nWe are not able to provide CE credits at this time. \nFor inquiries regarding The LGBTQ Study Group please contact the chair\, \nWilla N.
