And, to prove the point that there is no clear proof that the treatments are safe or necessary,

Stewart's position is either that the research cited above and all the research like it
does not exist, or that it exists and it should be
ignored.
Quote:
Despite the imprimatur of groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics and articles (some of which have been corrected or amended) asserting clear benefits of gender-affirming care, there remains a "paucity of quality evidence on the outcomes of those presenting with gender dysphoria," per the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. "No consensus exists whether to use these early medical interventions," says an article in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
A review of the research by the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence found that in terms of body image, psychosocial impact, satisfaction with surgery and other matters, "The quality of evidence for all these outcomes was assessed as very low certainty." Finland and Sweden have largely stopped providing such medical interventions to trans-identified youth except in carefully controlled studies, not because of politics but because among the successes are poor results, like children with osteoporosis or increasing numbers of detransitioners who medically transitioned and regret it.

Stewart has to deny all that too. But I guess they're not
American institutions, so they don't count. And as we all know, the American healthcare industry is the bestest most noblest most altruistic in the world.
