New Paper Provides History Of The Evolution Of GAC

A new paper from Australian researcher Kozlowska K, et al., Evolving national guidelines for the treatment of children and adolescents with gender dysphoria discusses the evolution of guidelines for treating gender dysphoria in children and the adoption of the “Dutch Protocol” by many Western countries

The article traces the adoption and development of guidelines in different countries, noting variations in clinical practices, legal frameworks, and ongoing debates. It also includes some very useful summary tables on guidelines and legislation.

The authors highlight tensions between rights-based approaches, evidence-based medicine, and concerns about patient safety, particularly for minors.
