6. Joyce’s video on “gender ideology” spends a full three minutes, out of a 30 minute lecture, on Joyce’s disdain for trans aesthetics. She further calls on the audience to use “child gender medicine and sports” as “inroads” in order to eliminate trans rights at large.

5. The burden falls on these partner institutions to ensure the content is up to par, a spokesperson for ACCME told Erin in the Morning. (There is a confidential complaint form where anyone, regardless of their credentials, can raise concerns about CME content.)

Complaints - ACCME
The ACCME has a multitiered accreditation process for evaluating CME providers’ compliance with the ACCME’s requirements.

4. The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the national oversight body for CME programming, says it accredits local partners—such as medical schools or state medical organizations—to certify CME-appropriate materials.

3. If a CME activity does not adhere to ACCME’s standards, then the host institution could see their accreditation revoked. In Genspect’s case, the primary accredited party appears to be the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS), which did not reply to requests for comment, nor did Genspect.

2. One video calls transgender people "anti-art" and inherently ugly. This is apparently fit to teach doctors and nurses how to care for transgender people in the United states.

Michigan State Medical Association has accredited anti-trans hate group, Genspect, as a training org for new doctors learning about trans health - and they’re using a video of Helen Joyce - a grotesque ‘gender critical’ transphobe - as one of their training resources!!! 😳😳😖

Even with all these leaks the fact that the Hazbin Hotel is still going strong, ratings are still in the highs, trending in over 43 countries AND has a strong fanbase in places like Japan and Korea.

When this would have killed ANY other series is a testament to how resilient this show is.

It is lovely that Nebula is AI-free as well as ad-free tbh. It’s like YouTube but good.
Completely AI-free and devoid of slop, I think we've managed to build a platform which very much *isn't* designed to keep you swiping and scrolling, but wants you to find something you actually want to watch as fast as possible.

Which I guess is the ultimate side benefit of being ad free.

Deb Cohen - while working at Newsnight to push her anti-trans ideological agenda - was also an editor of the British Medical Association (BMA) magazine, the BMJ - using her privileged position to platform transphobic talking points to give credibility.

She then reported on those points as facts! 😣

Puffed-up journalists with their sense of self-importance think they can’t be radicalised & biased!

History will not be kind to them! 😖

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.
