@BBCNewsnight @deb_cohen @hannahsbee I believe that the U.K. has been at this a bit longer than the USA and so they are already knee deep in repercussions. Therefore, there are people in the U.K. who have been battling louder and longer than we have. We’ll get there.

@BBCNewsnight @deb_cohen @hannahsbee So the people who tried and tried to raise this including whistleblowers were right all along? Well well.

@BBCNewsnight @deb_cohen @hannahsbee Because puberty blockers stop your pain from getting worse they don't improve it. Hormone treatment does. And that has been proven to massively reduce suicide rates and improve quality of life

@BBCNewsnight You're litteraly saying yourself that you can't draw proper conclusion from this. But puberty blockers didn't do much for me other than give me a slight peace of mind. Estrogen was what helped

To understand the report, it is also important to understand the GRADE system, which is used to assess evidence on a high/moderate/low/very low quality scale, and why this needs to be put in context. (1/16)

@BBCNewsnight Misleading. The review only included 9 papers, out of the hundreds published. Also, "very low" is the expected quality of evidence for any rare condition, because there simply aren't enough patients:
