“This study adds to a growing body of evidence showing affirmation in all forms can be life-saving for trans and gender-diverse people,” said lead author Anthony Almazan, a fourth-year medical student at Harvard Medical School. “Policies that limit access to care can put lives at risk. Our evidence shows we should be expanding gender-affirming care, not limiting it.”

I couldn't tell from the link but has this been peer reviewed in any way?

Yeah, but the standards of peer review for studies which affirm trans healthcare seem to be very... relaxed. See the corrections to other studies linked on this thread for some examples.
