>> Now, more than six years after signing the agreement, the EPC team does not appear to have published anything else, despite having provided WPATH with the material for six systematic reviews, according to the documents. >(Where are those other 6 systematic reviews if it is purely 'speculative' that WPATH has not been approving them?) Does "material for six systematic reviews" actually mean they were planning to publish six distinct reviews? The author doesn't say, leaving us to speculate. When in the six years since was the material provided? The author doesn't say. They could've only intended to publish the single review that in fact did get published. We can only speculate. Did WPATH provide any feedback on the material submitted? The author doesn't say, leaving us to speculate. >> Another document recently unsealed shows that Rachel Levine, a trans woman who is assistant secretary for health, succeeded in pressing WPATH to remove minimum ages for the treatment of children from its 2022 standards of care. This is irrelevant to the question of whether Johns Hopkins' research was manipulated, which is the contention of the article. Even then, it only makes an unsubstantiated a claim an unspecified court document supports the idea that WPATH was pressured to change their standard of care, which even if true doesn't support the claim that research anywhere has been manipulated. >> Among the recently released court documents is a WPATH checklist confirming that an individual from WPATH was involved “in the design, drafting of the article and final approval of [that] article”. (The article itself explicitly claims the opposite.) >(Which at the least implies that a correction needs to be issued by the journal which published that article if the disclosures are false...) The existence of a WPATH checklist does not mean that any changes were made at their request, which is the evidence you have to have to support the claim that research was manipulated. >>> but also notes that the request was refused by Johns Hopkins. >No, it didn't? The article specifically says, repeatedly, that that policy was implemented... Yes, it does, in the very section you quote: Ms Robinson protested that the new policy did not reflect the contract she had signed and violated basic principles of unfettered scientific inquiry she had emphasised repeatedly in her dealings with WPATH. WPATH tried to change their policy, and Johns Hopkins refused to go along with it. Which might go a long way towards explaining why they stopped publishing work sponsored by WPATH. With regard to whether the one paper they did publish was manipulated, as noted above, there is no evidence that WPATH made any changes---only that they reviewed it. Maybe they did request changes and Johns Hopkins refused and published anyway. If you want to prove manipulation of research (a very strong claim), you'd need to show that they requested changes, that those changes constituted academic fraud, and that Johns Hopkins made the changes. Handwaving about reviews doesn't cut it.
