摘要：
Ever since the Cass Review was released in April-an evaluation by the United Kingdom's National Health Service that has led to a ban on pubertysuppressing medication for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth-there has been criticism of the assessment and its recommendations, and concern about how it could be leveraged to more broadly affect public health care. In response, physicians, researchers, and major medical organizations worldwide have emphasized that scientific studies point to the benefits of medical interventions supporting gender affirmation. Indeed, more care innovation is needed, driven by community-led research, to improve the well-being of TGD people in ways that can benefit all of society.
