Gender care

written (or rather, last amended) just over a month ago. This what the US medical establishment believes, now – though, yes, before Trump. It's Orwellian stuff: the medical mutilation of troubled teens as "gender affirming care". As a medical scandal this surely dwarfs anything before. How on earth did it get to this?

As for the Cass Review:

This year, an extensive but controversial research review in the UK called the use of puberty-delaying medications into question, saying that the rationale for early puberty suppression was “unclear” and that any benefit for mental health was supported by “weak evidence.” The review — known as the Cass Review for Dr. Hilary Cass, the pediatrician who conducted it — has prompted providers in the UK to scale back their use of the treatment. However, its methodology have come under sharp criticism from some scholars and practitioners.

Hmm.
