It's been one month since print publication, should it not be included in this article:

• Block, Jennifer (11 March 2023). "Gender dysphoria in young people is rising—and so is professional disagreement" (PDF). The BMJ. 380 (8374): 382. doi:10.1136/bmj.p382. ISSN 0959-8138. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyxis Solitary (talk • contribs) 23:50, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Doesn't meet WP:MEDRS. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:11, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

(post-ec comment): Can you elaborate? Why doesn't it? Mathglot (talk) 06:15, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

It's a journalistic article written by a journalist - I don't think being published in BMJ changes that. I don't see why we would use it for any actual medical content rather than citing the relevant medical bodies directly. Maybe for some society stuff/commentary on the state of evidence so far. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Actually not even "commentary on the state of evidence so far" I'd say since we'd want a systematic review for that (and can cite the systematic reviews she mentions directly if needed). Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

The thing that immediately strikes me is that the article evokes this. Perhaps I'm being overly cynical, but it helps to remember that there is a whole demographic of transphobic idealogues who will happily point to "professional disagreement" in order to further their agenda - when said disagreement is irrelevant to the material facts (as with Evolution). AbominableIntelligence (talk) 18:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

100% agree with this. Block is manipulating the statistics of detransitioning and other contentious trans-related issues to make it seem much more common place than it actually is. There is clearly an agenda in mind here. I would be concerned if this was going to be used as a source for what's supposed to be a neutral article. BreakfastSonata (talk) 12:35, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Suggest that it not be included on the grounds that, though published in a very high quality source and directly addressing current medical opinion, it's inconvenient. 2407:7000:9BF1:4000:4D73:4B53:3B58:9B53 (talk) 08:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

BMJ is certainly highly reliable, and it seems okay to me; my only concern, is how do we treat it? It's not a study, so not a primary source, so that's a good start. But it doesn't look quite like a literature survey to me, at least not the ones I'm used to seeing, although it does have similarities. Author "Block" is listed as "investigations reporter". So, how do we characterize this? Sandy, if you're not too busy, any thoughts about how to characterize it? Should we just copy their lead, and say, "in an investigation by BMJ, blah blah..", or just cite it, without further qualification? (edit conflict) Mathglot (talk) 06:14, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Regarding "investigations reporter": BMJ Investigations Unit. Pyxis Solitary (yak yak). Ol' homo. 10:26, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

I haven't been overly impressed by some-such coming out of the BMJ lately, but I can't recall the specific examples. That said, if the BMJ is now engaging in "investigative journalism", my inclination is to treat it exactly as we would another high-quality source (think New York Times) doing an investigative piece in medicine. It's a good source for making statements, for example, about society and culture, but not necessarily or the best for statements about biomedical fact. Attribution seems safe ... According to the BMJ Investigations Unit ... or some such. By the way, some of what is in Society and culture now looks like it might be better placed in a History section.

Using it somewhere with attribution, at least, sounds good. Crossroads 18:52, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

What are we even debating? I don't see any article content proposed, just a reference. What is the reference supposed to support? Nosferattus (talk) 21:07, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
