evidence is strong and in support of centers that provides this kind of care and have been doing so for decades,” said Dr. Kellan Baker, executive director of the Whitman-Walker Institute, a health care organization that works on LGBTQ+ issues.
That was 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.
