The mom of AB Hernandez and the media are now complaining that he had to share his first with actual girls. To everyone who says "give them their own category" - they don't want it. They want ours. The theft is the point. These people believe men make better women. That is why they say stupid shit like "Hunter Schafer is the most beautiful woman in the world" and "How dare they make AB share?" Never give an inch.

The UK's Cass Review — a four-year NHS-commissioned inquiry — found the evidence base for puberty-suppressing drugs and cross-sex hormones in minors to be "remarkably weak." It rated Australia's child gender medicine standards 19 out of 100 for rigour of development.

Spencer's termination came one month before an independent panel was due to deliver its findings. That decision is now subject to legal challenge. The Finnish study adds to the evidence base both clinicians drew on when they spoke up.

In Australia, two clinicians who raised these exact concerns faced regulatory action. Dr Andrew Amos was banned by AHPRA for questioning the treatments publicly. No finding of patient harm was made against him. @Jilliantweeting was suspended, then issued a termination notice.

The study's conclusion could not be clearer: "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment." This is the finding the gender medicine movement has staked its entire ethical claim on. The claim has not held.

Among matched controls in the same period, that figure was 15.3%. The authors suggest the pattern may indicate that for some adolescents, mental health difficulties are presenting as concerns about gender identity — not the reverse.

The study also found that those referred after 2010 — when Finland saw a tenfold referral surge — arrived with far greater pre-existing psychiatric needs. 47.9% had already required specialist psychiatric treatment before their first clinic contact.

The authors noted plainly: in some individuals, the medical procedures "appear to be linked to deterioration in mental health." This is a peer-reviewed journal. This is the lead clinician of Finland's national gender clinic. These are her words.

After adjusting for prior psychiatric history, all gender-referred adolescents — whether or not they had undergone procedures — faced similarly elevated ongoing risk. Approximately five times higher than male controls. Three times higher than female controls.

Among those who underwent medical "gender reassignment", the increase was stark. Feminising procedures: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7%. Masculinising procedures: from 21.6% to 54.5%. The procedures did not resolve the distress.

The cohort of 2,083 individuals was compared against 16,643 matched population controls. Follow-up ran for up to 25 years. This is not a small study with convenient dropouts. It is the full national picture.

Finland centralises all gender identity assessments to two university hospitals. Because health register reporting is mandatory and patients cannot opt out, the dataset captured the complete fate of every gender-referred adolescent in the country from 1996 to 2019.

The study, published this week in Acta Paediatrica, was led by Professor Riittakerttu Kaltiala of Tampere University Hospital. Kaltiala has run Finland's youth gender clinic since 2011. She also served on the UK's Cass Review advisory board.
