SEGM has been compiling a compendium of literature to highlight our position of concern over the proliferation of hormonal and surgical "gender-affirmative" interventions for gender dysphoric youth.

"My country, and others, found there is no solid evidence supporting the medical transitioning of young people. Why aren’t American clinicians paying attention?"

Puberty Blockers, Hormones and Medical Transitioning

Puberty Blockers have been touted as completely reversible. Not true. Cross Sex Hormones have been touted as mostly reversible. Not true. Medical Transitioning has been touted as "life saving" Not true.  

The 41% attempted suicide rate is a talking point that is not accurate. The percentage is based on an online survey with a highly skewed sample. There are many questions about this survey that have not been asked such as, were other comorbidities of participants assessed? There is little evidence that medical transition decreases suicidality.  In teenagers there are other conditions that carry a higher suicide risk, including anorexia, depression and autism. Suicide rarely has one cause: it is difficult for statistical studies on suicide to extricate gender dysphoria from other factors. Stories from detransitioners speak to the atrocities done to their bodies because of harmful surgeries that are often called "life-saving." Surgeries have left people with no sex drive, mental health issues (the suicide rate is higher after transition), constant urinary leakage, increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and so on. All dependent on the medical community and Big Pharma for the rest of their lives.   Listen to their stories.
