Doctor Ladinsky claims that science is on the side of the transgender treatment industry. It is not. I read the scientific literature on this subject all day long. Virtually all of it is comprised of the lowest form of scientific evidence; small studies, with few patients, followed for short periods, all of them biased by self-selection (the patients who have committed suicide don’t come back to answer their vague questionnaires about their sense of happiness). This is NOT evidence based care. It is the least reliable form of evidence, but the transgender treatment industry has been satisfied with it for fifty years now, and don’t seem interested in answering the most basic questions about the condition.

Yep, basically true.
