Slowly but surely, the world is coming around to the conclusion that so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors lacks evidence and carries unknown dangers and long-term effects.
The United Kingdom, Sweden, and Finland have each restricted gender medical interventions for children, with the Cass Review examining youth gender treatments within the United Kingdom and determining that the evidence for such procedures is of “poor quality.”
But the United States lags behind; many of our major medical associations still endorse gender medical interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for children despite continued lack of evidence.
In response, Do No Harm is releasing a guide exposing several of the most influential studies used to support the medical transitioning of children. This guide will equip the public with the facts and help them understand just how shoddy the supposed “evidence” behind these procedures really is.
For instance, several studies use data collected by transgender advocacy organizations or from self-reported questionnaires that contain obvious falsities.
Other studies have conspicuously short follow-up times to avoid measuring any inconvenient long-term effects of the treatments in question.
