I did not want to disagree with the criticism(only the tone). And felt unwell leaving my position unexplained.

So, in the extremely unlikely case that someone read this and judged me for it;

There is a detailed explanation on why I still appreciated the video:

To clarify my position, on the SciShow HRT Video (as of 22 Jan 2025).
I agree the information was outdated at the least.

But it was clearly stated to be based on existing guidelines which in many countries define the actually available care (e.g. Germany).

I am a trans woman from Germany.

Scishow always made me feel welcome.
Your effort with the HRT Video was amazing.

Taking it down is a great sign of respect for your trans community.

I hope you don't feel discouraged, and replace it soon.

Thank you <3

The video was taken down, due to its datedness and negative perception.

The internet is filled with so much disinformation on Trans people.

Until a new Video will be released there is now one less prominent source people can find instead.

The datedness of the medical guidelines lend additional credibility to them being a consensus amongst medical personnel.

It was excellent to inform the interested but unaffected, people new to the issue.

Providers of medical treatment will use more details and up to date resources.

It was in part written and presented by trans people. Clearly without any malicious intent.

The video presented the facts about the positive impact of HRT on trans people.
And its necessity as a potentially life saving treatment.

All this on a respected platform with scientific integrity.

Providers of medical treatment will use more detail and up to date resources anyway.

Not a reply, but I personally really appreciated the SciShow Video on HRT.
