The evidence that is claimed to support the safety efficacy of the ‘Affirmative’ model of gender care does not exist. In addition there would appear to be a clear conflict of interest tempered by fiscal issues in relation to the role of the Sax Institute and the ‘evidence’ supporting the Affirmative ‘model of care’
That aside, the fact that our Minister of Health and Aged Care, Mark Butler, could be commenting the status of the evidence supporting the model is inappropriate. The Parliamentary website lists, among other things, ‘The occupation of politicians prior to entering Federal Parliament’. Minister Butler’s only work prior to entering parliament is cited therein as:
Union official from 1992 to 2007.
Hardly exposure that would lead to an understanding of 'Evidence Base'
Sir Humphrey would be so proud of minister Butler ..” never commission a review, without first knowing the outcome “. Unfortunately it seems all of our government institutions and professional bodies are infiltrated, and dominated, by Social Justice activists. The caravan rolls on while any confrontation , by way of legitimate challenge to the ideological basis remains out of reach. for the intuitively overwhelming majority of medical professionals for as long as the social science activists continue to fight harder to dominate the field. An elusive genie to be put back in the bottle.
It really is very poor that this ‘research’ is allowed to inform such dire conclusions for the children involved. Mark Butler and Greg Hunt have a lot to answer for.

Depressing. And Mr Butler declared publicly that he read it. Possibly a defence at a Royal Commission down the track. “I was misinformed..”
What a joy to read such a patient, thorough and rigorous analysis. (The subject-matter, however: not so joyous)
