Genspect Releases ‘The Bigger Picture’ Conference Lisbon Program
By Genspect
Genspect is excited to announce the release of its much-anticipated conference program, “The Bigger Picture,” set to take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from September 27th to 29th, 2024. This groundbreaking event will bring together leading experts and advocates to challenge the evidence base for gender medicine, address the widespread damage that gender identity ideology has wrought, and explore a way forward for everyone.
The Bigger Picture Conference in Lisbon will be the third in a series of counter-conferences to EPATH/WPATH. As they continue their campaign of ‘no debate’, we will continue to offer an alternative perspective and challenge the narrative that ‘the science is settled.’ The science is not settled, as our conferences in Killarney and Denver clearly showed.
Our conference will provide attendees with the opportunity to engage with a wide range of speakers, including renowned authors, clinicians, and researchers who are at the forefront of this crucial conversation. This event aims to foster a critical and informed dialogue on gender issues, emphasizing the need for evidence-based approaches and holistic solutions.
