Thank you for this amazing research. I just sat through a lecture at my medical school by a woman with a PhD from OHSU gender clinic. She presented claims that gender affirming care for minors is "curative and preventive." Her presentation had ZERO references to back up her claims. She also contradicted herself multiple times. One such contradiction was in her attempt to debunk what she called a myth, that adolescents could outgrow gender dysphoria. Her debunk went like this: “If an adolescent is in puberty, it is unlikely a phase. However, adolescence is a time of identity exploration and experimenting with expression. By supporting them in their gender identity, we can help facilitate healthy exploration of all the aspects of their identity.” Exact quote. This woman claims to be a professional in the medical field and yet she presents this topic without references, contradictions, and outrageous claims. Unbelievable hubris. What is sounds like from her presentation is she is knowingly and willingly sterilizing young people from poor families, POC and homosexuals.

Thank you. My son is a conscientious and kind doctor in the UK, and it frightens me that he still believes that puberty blockers and hormones are acceptable treatments for young people.

My words are falling on deaf ears even though I study gender issues, having worked in NHS mental health.

He doesn't work in this field luckily. But people like him need to read this...and listen to the detransitioners who are dealing with the personal fallout.
