RTWT but note this especially:

...it’s important to remember that every new wave of the study, significant numbers of kids are dropping out — and overall the vast majority of the dropouts are on the “no GAM” side. If the dropouts had fairly good mental health, that could give the false appearance of the group “worsening” on average, even if individual members of the group aren’t actually worsening.

...which makes a big difference, when the claim of "improvement" is essentially "kids on hormones didn't get worse but the non-treatment kids got a lot worse"

Pandering to 2.5% of the population is all the rage these days.

"Gender-Affirming Care"
What the fuck is this Orwellian newspeak?

Castration plus ego massage.

I can't think why it doesn't improve mental health long term.

Must be the patient's fault.

There's going to be one big pile of dead trannies in the coming years and all these researchers and advocates and government people are going to shrug and say "I tried my best". Yeah, you tried everything except caring about their obviously horrible mental health.
