Do a thought experiment: imagine an IRB lost their minds and somehow you're in a double blind trial for blockers. A year goes by and your peers are suddenly developing secondary sex characteristics, getting growth spurts and having vocal changes. You aren't. Is it still a blind trial?

The team behind it is known to favor non-affirming therapy, and came into this opposed to our care. They knew they couldn't disqualify GAC based on the available evidence, so they didn't try. Instead they did a magic trick and said none of it counted because it wasn't blinded.

They appointed someone with no experience in gender care or even LGBTQ care more broadly— whose published work isn't even on endocrinology or psychiatry, to create a document that could be used to justify the headlines being pumped out right now as a pretext for moving the restrictions up to age 25.
