It’s also that if you’re a clinician delivering this care, you’re probably doing so because you think it works."
If you have been prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and mastectomies to minors, and such practices turn out to be unsupported by evidence, that means you have been doing terrible things to kids. It would be a truth that would be very difficult to countenance.
