Child Gender Medicine: the evidence by Sex Matters

[WarriorN]

I've not seen it yet but sounds like it is forensic. Timely too with Hannah Barnes' book, the BMJ investigative article and several other recent articles

Halfway through, a really in-depth analysis of the evidence that decisions to use pbs and cross sex hormones for children has been based on for sex matters by Michael Biggs and Mathilda Gosling.

Mathilda's evidence is in particular disturbing as so much has clearly been based on faulty assertions and twisted evidence.

Biggs mentions a girl named B who had pbs and at 20 was "doing well" though by 35 had essentially developed gender dysphoria due to difficulties sexually as a result of the drugs. However this was not seen as an issue.

"in our population the average time to regret was 130 months, so it might be too early to examine regret rates in people who started with HT in the past 10 years."

130 / 12 = 10.8

Thank you for sharing this WarriorN.
It makes chilling listening but it's also reassuring to hear evidenced data and facts that centres children and their safety. It's a stark contrast to the emotive guilt tripping ramblings of those pushing their queer theory preferences at children and young people.
