I often hear that it’s “unethical” to have control groups in studies looking at the effects of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones on gender dysphoria. >>

But uninterrupted puberty and therapeutic counseling result in appx 85% desistance of gender dysphoria. This means the *control* group already has an 85% success rate. It’s unethical *not* to have a control group. //

Unfortunately you have misread the literature on this. I’ve pointed this out before, so think it might be intentional? Desistence data show the resolution of symptoms occurs before Tanner 2. GnRHa treatment only occurs from Tanner 2. You are conflating two different groups.

1. Dr. Hewitt, there is research evidence in the literature that many lesbians don't fully accept and integrate their orientation until early 20s. How do you square this with medical intervention starting as early as 12 or 13?

2. Further, what is your opinion re: the growing population of detransitioned lesbians who say internalized homophobia was key to their temporary trans identification? These women thought they were trans long after Tanner 2.

3. To put a finer point on it, we now have girls as young as 13 in the US obtaining double mastectomies & undergoing irreversible (and sterilizing) testosterone treatment. How do we know some of them wouldn't grow to be happy adult lesbians if supported but encouraged to wait?

The data does not show that desistance occurs before Tanner 2. It shows puberty blockers prevent desistance.

You are referencing opinion pieces in newspapers. Please look at the data.
