it took 2 years for a study to determine that “Cutting bits off youngsters and injecting them full of toxic hormones is not going to improve their mental health or psychosocial functioning.”

"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment."
No shit, Sherlock.
The clue is in the first flipping word!
Cutting bits off youngsters and injecting them full of toxic hormones is not going to improve their mental health or psychosocial functioning.
We are no better than the mediaevals who believed in bloodletting, or gem elixirs.
At least they had an excuse for their ignorance, we have none whatsoever.
We know exactly how to treat psychological problems in youngsters without resorting to barbarities pretending to be medicine.
These youngsters got worse because:
1. They started off in psychological distress, probably with negative thinking styles, maladaptive coping mechanisms and with god-knows what happening at home.
2. They were then sliced and diced and poisoned by 'gender treatment'.
3. Their underlying issues (including cognitive distortions, attached), were not addressed and resolved, but instead became 'concretised' and baked-in to their thinking.
4. They were not given proper psychotherapy to:
(a) independently learn how to reduce their mental distress.
(b) promote resilience and efficacy.
5. They then had to deal with all of the increased physical dysfunction (including probably chronic pain) and psychosocial problems caused by (2).
It's not bloody rocket science folks.
You don't improve psychological functioning by running amok like flipping Edward Scissorhands through perfectly healthy, young bodies.
"These adolescents had markedly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions—on some, they might even have a negative impact."
Well, duh!
(On reflection, bloodletting, or giving them ground-up emeralds to drink would have been a more humane 'treatment' for these poor kids.)
