‘Ideology not evidence’ driving US trans agenda, say international experts
from The Christian Institute:
The care of gender-confused young people in the US is being driven by political ideology not evidence, a group of international experts have warned.
Writing to the Wall Street Journal, 21 clinicians and researchers from nine countries said ‘gender-affirming care’ in the States was “exaggerating the benefits and minimising the risks” of sex-swap drugs and surgery.
Numbered among the signatories to the letter are psychiatrists, paediatricians and medical practitioners – including the University of Plymouth’s Professor Richard Byng and London-based clinical psychologist Dr Anna Hutchinson.
Significant risks
The letter debunked a claim put forward in the same newspaper by America’s Endocrine Society that scientific research showed medical interventions improved the well-being of gender-confused people.
