What's Happened Since Michael Shellenberger Dropped the WPATH Files?
A roundup of articles and other media on the leaked WPATH Files and accompanying report
Earlier this week Michael Shellenberger dropped The WPATH Files, along with an astounding report authored by Mia Hughes. Many of you might know Mia from Twitter/X as @_CryMiaRiver.
You can read and download a pdf of Mia’s entire report here.
Soon after the files were released, we jumped to our microphones to put out a live episode of Gender: A Wider Lens. (This was our first live episode ever!) Dr. Carrie Mendoza from FAIR in Medicine joined us. Carrie and Stella were both involved in helping with the launch of the WPATH Files.
You can watch the live episode on our YouTube Channel. It’s completely un-edited so please forgive a couple of technical snafus:
We are curious to see how the press will respond in the coming days and weeks.
Here are some good articles that have been written, so far. Nothing, yet, from the left-leaning US media outlets.

How about you? Have you read the files or found any other articles interesting or illuminating? What impact do you think this will have? Please let us know in the comments.
I am discouraged by the lack of interest from mainstream media on this story. How do I introduce this to my friends and family if I the media they trust doesn't cover this story? They will assume the WPATH files are just a right wing conspiracy. I also wish Helen Joyce were still at The Economist to have written more critically.
I’ve only read about 35 pages into the 242 page files so far, over two nights… I have to put it down because it’s so frightening.… it’s just so heartbreaking, though not surprising because we know WPATH is doing harm to children, but it’s just this feeling of oh my god… here’s the proof. Finally. I’m so glad this has come out, and I hope we see major changes to the system now because of it, and I hope that WPATH rapidly deteriorates henceforth.
