Parents of Adolescents with Gender Distress-Victoria. We want evidence based support & policy for our children in healthcare & schools. Email [email protected]

We are Parents of Adolescents with Gender Distress – Victoria (PAGD). Our group was formed by parents to promote evidence-based support and policy for our gender distressed children in healthcare and schools here in Australia. This objective also extends to young adults, who because of age are also vulnerable, particularly when co-morbidities such as neurodiversity, trauma and mental illness are present.

Why aren't Australian politicians, AusPATH, and other activist groups expressing outrage over a doctor's intention to provide children with unregulated, imported medicine through online consultations? Concern only seems to extend to political point scoring. @Mark_Butler_MP @MaryAnneThomas @ellensandell @RCHMelbourne @MCRI_for_kids

Polling in the UK shows that a growing awareness of issues relating to trans rights has shifted public opinion, particularly in regard to the medicalisation of children. It is likely we would have a similar result in Australia. @Mark_Butler_MP @RCHMelbourne @MaryAnneThomas @KosSamaras

In light of irresponsible and fear-inducing rhetoric by some politicians, journalists, and activists, it's important for young people and their families to understand that restrictions on medical interventions show no evidence of a higher risk of suicide.

A reminder that the puberty blocker ban did not lead to a rise in suicide in the UK.

Peer reviewed article challenges criticisms of UK's Cass Review. @Mark_Butler_MP @TimNichollsMP @MaryAnneThomas @gedkearney @nhmrc @MCRI_for_kids
A new peer-reviewed article examining the criticisms of the Cass Review, just published. The authors found that the primary source of the criticism, a non-peer-reviewed paper published on the Yale Law School website, contains numerous inaccurate and misleading claims. Link👇/1
