“The ultimate gas light is to say that a boy is a girl,” Leave. Warren PetersenFox News Digital told in a statement. “Now we have learned that the expert has done more than Gaslight. We have presented the court several examples of identical or almost identical phrasing used by other academics without any allocation.”
Petersen is the leading suspect In a case that challenges the Save Women’s Sports Act in Arizona, who is waiting for a decision by the Supreme Court about whether it will hear an appeal in an early order.
Petersen says that Dr. Daniel Shumer, a clinical Association of Pediatrics and Medical Director of the Gender Services Program and Fellowship Director of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of Michigan, his witness statement at least 22 times plagiarism Arizona’s Save Women’s Sports Act.

“In the past two years I have led the indictment to defend the Commonsense Act of Arizona that protects women in sport,” Petersen told Fox News Digital. “Despite the many attacks of the left, I have been grateful for this opportunity to defend the integrity of women’s sports – especially in the absence of the attorney -general of our state. I will continue to lead the struggle for this law in the courts, and I hope that the American Supreme Court will ultimately have our state protected from the sport of women!”
On Wednesday, Petersen has submitted A request, legally called a Daubert motion, to remove Shumer as the witness of the opponent.
The motion is: “The opinions of Dr. Shumer are not reliable because he plagiarism, he lacks the qualifications to offer them, and he has not provided objective evidence that represent his opinions good science.”
The document claims that Shumer has taken formulation from Stephen Rosenthal, a witness in the case that challenges Alabama’s law that prohibits operations and hormone therapy for minors, and of Joshua Safer, a witness in the case that won West Virginia’s Save’s Sports Act and did not have the correct one.
An example that is emphasized by Petersen is that in a report issued on 10 October 2024, Shumer has almost literally copied the formulation from Rosenthal’s report on April 21, 2022.
Rosenthal’s Waling Reads, “Any Attempts to ‘Cure’ transgender individuals by forcing their gender identity into alignment with their assigned sex are harness, dangerous, and ineffective. Those practices have leg denounced as unthical and major’s professional thesal. Wpath, The American Medical Association, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Psychiatric Association, and the American Psychological Association. ”

The guide of the University of Michigan defines plagiarism as “the appropriation of the ideas, processes, results or words of someone else without giving appropriate credit.”
In a deposition of 18 February 2025, Shumer seemed to admit plagiarism.
“I do not believe that an expert report is necessarily research and () this you from M Standard Practice Directive may or may not apply to an expert report. Even as an expert in this case, I do not do tasks related to my role in Michigan University,” Shumer said. “That said, I think it is clear that some of the words I used were used without appropriate credit from other sources and that this meets this definition.”
When asked during the statement: “Why do you think you should have cited the reports in your expert report now?”
Shumer replied: “Because I believe that is the right thing to do when – when there is material that – that was initially written by someone else who uses you to make a similar point.”
In the statement he said under the services provided in the Child and Adolescent Gender Services Clinic in Mott Children’s Hospital, which he is the clinical director, his “medical interventions, such as GNRH agonists or 19 gender-confirming hormones.”
Shumer is also an expert witness in cases The Executive Order of President Donald Trump “Protect children against chemical and surgical mutilation.”
