The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a thorough review of good practices for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria on Thursday.
The report, entitled “Pediatric Gender Dysphoria Treatment: Review of Testing and Good Practices”, was published by the Office of the Deputy Health Secretary and Office of Population Affairs.
