The Myth of Reliable Research In Pediatric Gender Medicine

A new study identifying flaws in gender medicine research demands urgent attention from the medical community

A new open-access publication, “The Myth of Reliable Research in Pediatric Gender Medicine,” focuses on the two Dutch studies that gave rise to “gender-affirmative” care for youth worldwide. The authors convincingly demonstrate that rather than “solid prospective research” or even the “gold standard” in research, as these studies are frequently described by the proponents of “gender-affirmative care,” the Dutch research suffers from profound, previously unrecognized problems. These problems range from erroneously concluding that gender dysphoria disappeared as a result of “gender-affirmative treatment,” to reporting only the best-case scenario outcomesand failing to properly examine the risks, despite the fact that a significant proportion of the treated sample experienced adverse effects.

False Assumptions Behind Youth Gender Transitions

A recent paper takes on 5 key faulty assumptions behind “gender-affirming” interventions for youth.

The highly medicalized approach to managing gender distress in youth, integral to the “gender-affirmative” care model, rests on several key assumptions. Publications promoting “gender affirmation” of youth fail to explicitly call out these assumptions—or misrepresent these problematic assumptions as proven facts.

Unproven assumption 1. Gender identity, which underlies gender dysphoria, is a fundamental personal characteristic that is biologically “ingrained.”

An Uninformed Moral Subjectivist

This uninformed guy goes from “trans surgeries on minors aren’t happening” to “they are happening and it’s good” in record time.

First, when presented with the evidence, he acknowledges the surgeries are happening on minors. But only, he thinks, after extensive testing and affirmation of their “gender identity.”

Then when he is told people can get surgery recommendation letters at Pride festivals from strangers who say they’ll sign letters for any minor who wants surgery, he falls back on his subjectivist moral stance, a common position today born out of radical individualism. Otherwise known as subjectivism.

People, even minors, should be allowed to do whatever they want to do to themselves. And so we should just “affirm” and presumably pay for the “healthcare”& social maintenance of that delusion.

“If they wanna transition then yeah they should have strangers
sign letters of recommendation.”
