'The Legislature was wise and compassionate to halt gender-affirming treatments on minors,' writes Holladay resident David Boettger.
Four years ago an adolescent female patient who was well known to me presented with confusing thoughts about her gender identity.
The first thing I learned is that between 60-98% of such patients, if left alone, resolve their confusion and become comfortable in their biological sex by adulthood. My research eventually led me to a legislative committee hearing in January where I spoke on behalf of a bill ending affirming treatments on minor patients.
Furthermore, 95-98% of the published papers are so poor they could not even be evaluated at all using the GRADE system for determining evidence quality.
