Another scientific study, published at the direction of President Donald Trump, is breaking ground because now it's been peer-reviewed, and the potential critics were unable to find anything significant to criticize in the results that found there's almost zero medical evidence to support the agenda of putting chemicals in children, or offering them body-mutilating surgeries, when they claim to be transgender.
In a report from the New York Post, it was confirmed that the study, done by the Department of Health and Human Services after Trump issued an executive order that charged U.S. doctors with "maiming" teens with such treatment, was found by experts to have no significant failings or errors.
There were nearly a dozen critics who took on the job of commenting on the study's findings, and none was able to identify a deficiency.
"They were given the chance to show mistakes, show errors. And they were not able to identify any," Dr. Leor Sapir, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and one of the project researchers, confirmed in comments to the Post. "They had some minor comments here and there, but nothing that gets to the main findings about evidence and ethics."
Sapir pointed out that includes a former president of the Endocrine Society, a group that has been a chief proponent of the radical treatments for children.
When the report first was released by Trump last summer, it charged that gender-affirming "treatment" must be brought to an end.
"The subsequent report found that many of the studies that proponents of gender-affirming care use to back their treatments were of 'very low quality,' and that little is really known about the long-term psychological and quality-of-life effects of treatment, along with how often patients regret about undertaking them. The report also noted the UK has banned the use of puberty blockers and other treatments for minors altogether," according to the Post.
The report pointed out, "Exactly what the Trump administration will do with the report remains to be seen, but Sapir said he hopes that the medical community will take a step back from the culture war debate over gender-affirming care and look at the science. 'Let's reassess. At minimum, let's allow for open debate. Let's listen to dissenting perspectives. Let's do rigorous analysis.'"
