PBS Again Taps Turban to Make Fake ‘Science and Medicine’ Argument For Youth Gender Surgery

Transgender youth researcher and psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban once again appeared on PBS Weekend, this time plugging his new book Free to Be: Understanding Kids and Gender Identity. Turban is director of the Gender Psychiatry Program at the University of California, San Francisco and of course a strong supporter of controversial gender identity surgeries and of the entire spectrum of trans-related issues, including biological boys intruding into girls sports.

Actually, the scientific case against gender identity treatments for children, such as hormone replacement therapy, is strengthening every day. But it hasn’t quite dawned on taxpayer-supported PBS, judging by Turban’s treatment.
