Studies

SEGM has been compiling a compendium of literature to highlight our position of concern over the proliferation of hormonal and surgical "gender-affirmative" interventions for gender dysphoric youth. This is NOT an all-inclusive list of all the studies in the field of pediatric gender medicine. Rather, we aim to highlight unsettled debates in the field. Some of the studies have been curated by SEGM. These studies show a "SEGM Analysis" tab.

This is an ongoing project. We welcome any feedback from the research community that will help improve this compendium. Please check this site frequently for updates.
