A landmark report known as the Cass Review emphasizes the importance of science over slogans in treating trans-identified children. European psychiatrists support the review, advocating against experimental treatments for gender-distressed minors. The review questions the evidence supporting medical pathways affecting fertility and sexual function in children. Stanford and UCSF child psychiatrists, including Dr. Jack Turban, criticized the review despite their own studies being deemed low quality. The debate surrounds the quality of studies on youth transgender interventions and the need for objective assessments in medical practices.
I haven't read the Cass Review preregistration so maybe Dr. Turban's point is valid, but I don't understand how he can make this argument and not address the same concerns about the Chen et al NEJM study, which is the single most important cohort study on youth gender medicine… https://t.co/MrBRz9MqgT
UCSF child psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban, whose own published studies were deemed low quality by the systematic literature reviews on which the Cass Review was based, comes out swinging against both. Dr. Turban has staked his career on promoting youth gender medicine. See the🧵 https://t.co/74QpJTiVXJ

A great article in which @JLCederblom exposes the error-ridden research and peer-review process typical of studies purporting to measure "transition regret." https://t.co/B9HtZCBHgx
At the core of the Cass Review was the question of whether there was strong enough evidence for doctors and families to be able to make a solid informed decision about whether to put a child on a medical pathway that could take their fertility and sexual function. Cass said no. https://t.co/d2cMC5ThBD
No matter how many times I debunk this claim, people keep making it. The systematic literature reviews about pediatric gender-transition treatment on which the Cass Review was partially based included in their syntheses 58 moderate quality and 2 high quality studies. https://t.co/aU4eW7y1J6
A massive review of major studies surrounding youth transgender interventions showed they are of extremely poor quality, performed by a transwoman and supported by other trans professionals. Trans activists: 'STUDIES SHOWUH'
European psychiatrists support the Cass Review, stating that healthcare providers should not prescribe “experimental and unnecessarily invasive treatments with unproven psycho-social effects.” They should “adhere to” the first, do no harm principle for gender-distressed minors. https://t.co/3QKRGrbVdT
