Gender-affirming medical treatment for adolescents: a critical reflection on “effective” treatment outcomes
We emphasize the need for an explicit discussion on the objectives of GAMT for adolescents. The linear narrative of improvement in GAMT for adolescents is limited and fails to capture the complexity of GAMT experiences. With currently no consensus on how the "effectiveness" of GAMT for adolescents is assessed, this article calls for participatory action research that centers the voices of young TGD individuals.
