So infuriating! The @washingtonpost.com selectively cites three European reviews critical of gender-affirming care, while ignoring that the Am Acad of Pediatrics, the Am Psychological Assoc, the Am Medical Assoc, & the Endocrine Society unanimously support such care. #transhealth #transrights
The Washington Post is shifting right in its coverage of transgender people.
It's latest article from the WaPo editorial board attacks trans care with misleading references and extreme double standards.
