For our first segment, we cover the latest Gordon Guyatt scandal. The “father of evidence-based medicine” tries to paint the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) as biased while admitting, in a new interview with Jesse Singal, that social pressure and PR optics drove him to distance himself from the one group doing rigorous systematic reviews—and even to push ideological language into those reviews. We unpack the contradictions, the pressure campaign, and what this means for science when politics comes first.

Plus, in our second segment, we examine a Master’s thesis out of UBC arguing Canada’s child welfare system should stop keeping records of child abuse because documentation disproportionately leads to Indigenous children entering foster care. We analyze the thesis and explain why abolishing records would erase accountability, hide patterns of harm, and put vulnerable kids—especially those facing neglect, violence, and disability—in harm’s way.
