Reports

The WPATH Files: Pseudoscientific Surgical and Hormonal Experiments on Children, Adolescents, and Vulnerable Adults. Published on March 4, 2024, a comprehensive and shocking report on leaked message board exchanges and video footage from within the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), revealing widespread medical malpractice on children and young adults. Members are seen to demonstrate a lack of consideration for long-term patient outcomes despite being aware of the debilitating and potentially fatal side effects of cross-sex hormones and other treatments.

The Cass Review, Final Report. Published on April 10, 2024, this systematic report commissioned by England’s National Health Service describes the fate of young people seeking support for gender distress from 2015 to 2020. It sets out a recommended clinical approach to the care they should expect, the interventions that should be available, and how services should be organized. It also comments on quality improvement and research infrastructure required to ensure evidence-based care. Dr. Hilary Cass is a leading U.K. pediatrician and the report has been widely praised for its impartiality and thoroughness. Related news coverage:

Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices. Final version published on November 19, 2025 (after an initial release in May 2025) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, this peer-reviewed “umbrella review” summarizes findings from 17 previously-conducted systematic reviews. As with all the prior systematic reviews, this HHS review found no good evidence that GAC benefits youth. Too many Democrats—and most U.S. medical groups, as detailed below—will ignore this science because it came from the Trump Administration. Unique to this review is Part 4, a chapter on Ethics. Read coverage of the initial release from The Economist.

Various research by Dr. Lisa Littman, originator of the ROGD hypothesis.
