Rapidly expanding gender-affirming care based on consensus instead of evidence justifies rigorous governance and transparency

CONCLUSIONS: Despite low confidence in their safety and efficacy, the number of patients seen by public gender services has expanded rapidly since 2018. Limited transparency makes it difficult to judge the number of patients seen, treatments provided, and outcomes achieved. Safe, effective care of this vulnerable group requires clear treatment goals, and annual reporting.PMID:38686826 | DOI:10.1177/10398562241249579
