The authors of a study who claimed “gender-reassignment” procedures brought mental health benefits issued a correction to their 2019 findings, admitting that those who have had “gender-reassignment” surgery “were more likely to be treated for anxiety disorders.” The study, published October 4, 2019 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, purported to show that “gender-affirmation” treatment improves transgender mental health .

But  a new article by three medical experts  reveals that there is little scientific evidence to support such a radical procedure. The article, “ Growing Pains: Problems with Puberty Suppression in Treating Gender Dysphoria ,” published Tuesday in The New Atlantis , discusses over 50 peer-reviewed studies on gender dysphoria in children . It is co-authored by Dr. Paul W. Hruz, a professor at Washington University School of Medicine , Dr. Lawrence S. Mayer, a scholar in residence at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a professor at Arizona State University , and Dr. Paul R.
