Gatekeeping and Detransition

The discussion highlights the extensive gatekeeping measures in place for kids seeking puberty blockers and hormones, with an average of 14 appointments required after referrals. Despite fears of rushed care, the audit reveals fewer than ten out of 3,300 kids detransitioned over five years, challenging claims of a widespread issue. The report largely ignores the rise of transphobia, focusing instead on anti-trans narratives, suggesting a deeper moral panic surrounding the topic.
