The Cass review has been widely rejected by reputable medical associations. In addition, reviews of the Cass review have found several flaws and instances of bias: https://bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186...

Don't get me wrong, trans issues do need more study, but this is also an example of isolated demand for rigor. Why the undue focus and criticism of trans healthcare over treatment of other rare medical conditions, which also tend to lack RCTs?

In addition, trans healthcare in Sweden has historically been behind the US. Trans people were forcibly sterilized up until 2013, and trans healthcare underfunded. In Finland the sterilization was required until 2023!
