REAGAN: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies… beware of demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, national security, and the entire free world—while cynically waving the 🇺🇸 flag.”

4/n a KEY concern of the Cass review was that kids were getting meds too soon, too often, too much.

This study completely disproves that belief. Fewer than 10% of kids got any meds. 4.7% got puberty blockers. 8% got hormones.

Ever. At any point in their medical journey.

6/n In addition, the incidence of GD diagnosis in kids was extremely low. While it increased by a factor of 50 between 2014 and 2021, at the end of the study it was still at 0.044%.

For context, the cutoff for something to be considered a "rare" disease is 0.05%.
