Finland has also deviated from the "standards of care" for trans youth going back to psychotherapy instead of the affirmation model because they found no evidence to support the affirmation model.

Which is nice to see.

The UK found no evidence to support the affirmation model either, but then just kept doing it. I assume because of political pressure.

The Affirmation model is ridiculous. Solving problems by encouraging the denial of reality? It's counter to common sense. No wonder so many Trans never get better.

Good for Finland. Bad for UK. Maybe in the UK it varies by country - Scotland would definitely be in favour of affirming children who have been groomed into it, while England is on the path to psychotherapy.
