  • A peer-reviewed medical journal published by the British Medical Association published an article on March 9 arguing that the evidence behind major medical associations’ endorsement of transgender treatments for children are minimal.
  • The journal’s editor-in-chief, Kamran Abbasi, argues in the article that evidence supporting treatment for gender-confused children is limited, and that “the weaker or the more disputed the evidence base, the harder it is to offer a clear way forward.”
