Jon Stewart recently interviewed Leslie Rutledge, the Attorney General of Arkansas, regarding medicalized treatments of children with gender dysphoria. Unfortunately, they both were missing information that, if brought out, would have led to a very different conversation.

Washington Examiner

The transgender health organization WPATH will soon publish an update to its guidelines for standards of care. The expected changes include lowering the recommended ages for hormones and surgery in minors.

The UK’s National Health Service will close the world’s largest pediatric gender clinic. An independent review condemned the clinic as “not a safe or viable long-term option” because its interventions are based on poor evidence and its model of care leaves young people “at considerable risk” of poor mental health.
