New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work Read Full Article Here are five hashtags you can use:#NHSEnglandReview #TransHealthcareDebate #CareDoesWork #HealthPolicy #LGBTQHealthNews
* 🚫 NHS England has banned new hormone prescriptions for transgender youth under 18, citing "low quality" evidence from 10 reviews that excluded 97% of studies.
* 🔬 The reviews used a method of "salami slicing" by creating artificially narrow categories, leading to the exclusion of significant studies like the Chen et al 2023 NIH-funded study and the Dutch Protocol research.
* 📉 Even surviving studies showing benefits were rated "very low certainty" using the GRADE system, a framework developer Gordon Guyatt has called "egregious and unconscionable" when used to justify bans.

✅ Adolescents undergoing gender-affirming chest surgery report satisfaction levels and regret levels similar to young adults, suggesting age restrictions may not be supported by patient experiences.
✅ Research published in the International Journal of Transgender Health found median regret scores of zero and median satisfaction scores of five (highest possible) for both adolescent and young adult groups.
✅ While five patients reported higher regret, their dissatisfaction stemmed from specific aesthetic outcomes (e.g., scarring) rather than regretting the gender transition itself; none reported true gender-related regret.
