    Same results as the German guidelines published a few months ago. Will probably get just as ignored by the cherrypickers.

  2. Good news!

    >The authors also refute suggestions in the Cass Review around negative impacts of transgender healthcare. For instance, the Cass Review in several occasions speaks of potential “loss of bone density” among trans youth taking puberty blockers. Instead, the French review notes that trans people have low bone densities *regardless* of treatment due to other factors: “Trans youth have an average BMD before the onset of puberty that is lower than that of the general population, regardless of treatment. This is probably related to the consequences of dysphoria: less physical activity, eating disorders, and/or poor dietary balance,” and they also note that after moving to gender affirming hormones, “BMD comparable to that of the experienced gender.” They also recommend vitamin D and exercise to mitigate potential concerns.

    I found this especially interesting.
