Activities
Campaigning to Defund or Criminalise Healthcare for Trans Children
Genspect and its members have been involved in a wide array of amicus briefs in support of legislation across America attempting to criminalise or defund healthcare for trans children and and adolescents.[Citation Needed]
Influence laundering and Conversion Therapy Ties
Trans science researcher Zinnia Jones discovered that an "Open Letter" promoted by Genspect submitted as a proposal to the American Academy of Pediatrics by 5 redacted โprofessionalsโ was lead by a member of (strongly overlapped anti-trans medical group) SEGM.
Genspect's open letter itself was signed by multiple conversion therapists including Miriam Grossman who is notorious for a lengthy career of engaging in and promoting her "Gay Cure" beliefs.
Previously Genspect used IFTCC (a conversion therapy advocacy group) and ACPeds (religious extremist lobby group) affiliated endocrinologist Michael K Laidlaw to promote their Detrans Awareness Day.
"Tucking"/"Binding" guidance
Genspect advises that schools ban "tucking" or "binding". Actually enforcing either of these bans would require school staff to engage in inspection of children's undergarments.

Genspect has a striking amount of overlap in its membership with partisan science thinktank SEGM.
