It’s unbelievable, that last doctor talking about how her socially transitioned child could not bare the thought of going through puberty as a boy. Of course he couldn’t. He was given the mental framework that he was actually a girl. His parents, for loving reasons, did this to him. Their belief system, one that sooner or later will run into the guardrails of a real life sexed body, did this to him. So sad.

Unbelievable. Over 20 papers? there were around 50 for each review (hormones, pubety blockers).

And Turban's referral to the summary...it wasn't news coverage the first questioner was quoting, it was Cass' summary of the systematic reviews.

He is quoting Chen et al, 2023? For benefit? Are you kidding? FTM small benefit, comparable with hormones, for 2 outcomes. **No benefit** for MTF. And yes, as the questioner mentioned, 2 suicides.

They hid 6 of the 8 psychosocial outcomes they said they'd report. Didn't report them at all.
