Energy company TAQA has SLAPP-ed a former employee after he refused to participate in practices he believed violated labour and immigration law.
Their cease-and-desist letter sought to prohibit the target from discussing the matter, even “in private.”

If clinicians and academics can’t critique approaches to mental health treatment without fearing lawsuits, how can we have honest, evidence-based discussion in psychotherapy & healthcare?
🤐 SLAPPs don’t win arguments, they just silence them.

📚 O’Dowd’s piece was a professional critique - the kind of contribution journals exist to foster.
Moreover, it was taken down immediately after O’Malley complained...
👀 Yet instead of moving on, O’Malley pressed ahead with legal threats, demanding damages and costs.

AGP, defined as "sexual arousal felt by a male at the thought of himself as a woman" barely made it into DSM-V, as a specifier to "transvestic disorder," not a standalone diagnosis. It has no relevance to a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria, but is routinely used by Genspect & others to sexualise...

This is Genspect trying to pathologize trans people as inherently violent and prone to terrorism and mass murder by virtue of their identity.
This is an absolutely heinous proposal.

![Alt text: Screenshot of a section titled "Importance" with white text on a black background. The text explains that extreme overvalued beliefs are seen as a major motivator behind terrorist attacks, assassinations, and mass shootings. It describes how forensic psychiatrists and psychologists often encounter patients with bizarre beliefs during threat assessments or forensic examinations, but these beliefs do not meet DSM-5-TR criteria for psychiatric disorders and cannot be fully explained by terms like delusion or obsession. The passage notes that unclear definitions of psychiatric terms complicate matters, leading media and psychiatrists to mislabel acts of terrorism or violence as being driven by delusions or paranoia. Instead, such individuals are said to possess extreme overvalued beliefs, which they act upon as a defense of those beliefs. The section concludes by stressing the importance of creating clear definitions of psychiatric terms, like "extreme overvalued beliefs," to avoid misattributing acts of violence or terrorism to mental illness. Hyperlinked words include “threat assessment,” “insanity defense,” “delusion,” and “obsession.” Citations [1], [2], [3] appear in the text.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sefgphqp2xqwh2hawaixykwz/bafkreiawen4maptny25sfnceotkgtuscceiruebplw37tmfchxaxdv662u@jpeg)
