asa radix: A Call for Trans Providers and Researchers
Those quoting [this misinformation] allege that transgender youth care includes mandatory sterilization and forced surgeries, also that medical providers “make” kids trans so as to further our own radical political agenda. These simply do not happen.
Ask the American Academy of Pediatrics, the true leader in the field: Affirming care leads to optimal outcomes. It includes providing children and adolescents a safe environment in which they can freely explore their genders through use of alternate names, pronouns, and clothing, case management, and mental healthcare intended to help the youth gradually determine for themselves how they might want to live. This position is also supported by the vast majority of healthcare organizations and a far more significant body of rigorously conducted studies. The genuine science is clear.
