Here Dr. Marci Bowers who makes her living creating women from men and vice versa, the creator of 2000 vaginas, cautions that medical treatment of minors often goes too far too fast. She wanted to write an editorial about that, but the New York Times didn’t like it back in 2021.

But this recent opinion piece by Marci Bowersis more in line with New York Times thinking so they accepted this particular work. As the recent head of WPATH, the organization that sets treatment standards for trans people, she’s responding to all of the state actions out there blocking medicalized treatment.
I don’t find her two articles to be necessarily in conflict.
As far as state legislatures making medical policy, that is bad, a bad idea. I can’t imagine laws that are nuanced enough to fit every human condition that doctors and health professionals must address. I do think there’s a place for government in this arena, and I think the feds could fund some really good studies. There is no one study that everyone agrees tells us complete and accurate facts about gender transition. That is a grave concern. It is also a concern of researchers that studies that might be perceived to be transphobic will not be funded, and actually should not even be spoken of because the proposer will be banned.
