It is difficult to believe that history will be kind to those promoting invasive, irreversible, sterilising โ€˜gender changeโ€™ in young people.

The arguments in favour of continuing on this pathway are becoming ever less plausible with much of the initial supportive โ€˜scienceโ€™ eroded.

Also of concern is that many of the practitioners involved in the process of โ€˜transitionโ€™ are also campaigning politically for support of the interventions. This is an inappropriate invasion a domain that should be based on sound, irrevocable science, by which I mean satisfaction of the gold standard clinical trial.
