The booming 'gender-affirming care' industry suffered a devastating hit with the release of a long-awaited British review that found 'remarkably weak evidence' to support treating children and young adults with gender-transition drugs and surgeries.
Bombshell British review finds ‘weak evidence’ to justify transgender drugs, surgeries for minorsThe rainbow flag, a symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, flies over a building next to Nelson’s Column monument, right, in Trafalgar Square, central London, Britain, Friday, March 28, 2014.
“I understand that the review’s conclusions will have come as a seismic shock to those who’ve hounded and demonised whistleblowers and smeared opponents as bigots and transphobes, but trying to discredithas conducted the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that’s ever been conducted. Mere hours after it was released to the press and public, committed ideologues are doubling down.
The report cast doubt on the transgender movement’s trump card: That without drugs and surgeries, young people are at greater risk of suicide. The report’s recommendations included better training for gender clinicians; holding gender-transition treatment to the same standard as other medical services; expanding clinic capacity and providing more resources for detransitioners, those who change their minds about changing their sex.
The LGBTQ group Stonewall U.K. said it supported some of the report’s recommendations and disagreed with others, saying they could “lead to new barriers that prevent children and young people from accessing the care they need and deserve. From 2009 to 2016, the NHS Gender Identity Service saw the number of children and adolescent referrals soar from 15 to 1,766, with an exponential increase in 2014.
