One of the most well-known Dutch child gender professionals no longer treats children. He said: "In the Netherlands we conduct structural research. But the rest of the world is blindly adopting our research."https://www.ad.nl/nijmegen/dringend-meer-onderzoek-nodig-naar-transgenderzorg-aan-jongeren-waar-komt-de-grote-stroom-kinderen-vandaan~aec79d00/#:~:text=Er%20is%20dringend%20meer%20onderzoek,gezet%20door%20de%20lange%20wachtlijsten …

Still busy experimenting with puberty blockers on physically healthy children whilst admitting they know nothing about the long term effects, I find this quite astounding

If Steensma does not now conclude that there is an overwhelming social factor given the radical changes in the profile than what will it take ? If you believe in ‘transgender children’ then your bound to find them much as some psychiatrists found women with multiple personalities

The latter has been completely debunked and now the former. Question of time but I trust the experimental use of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones on children will immediately stop given the evidence of long term adverse effects.

I'm curious about the 70% that doesn't get blockers. Is that because they're not transitioning? Are they transitioning without blockers? do they get cross-sex hormones instead? It's all so vague.

The Amsterdam clinic has always done careful assessment and have not generally been in favor of early "social transition." This results in more children desisting before medical intervention.

The "affirmative" clinicians have been quite critical of the Dutch approach in recent years, accusing them of being overly cautious and "gatekeeping."
