簡介Gender dysphoria (GD) of childhood describes a psychological condition in which children experience a marked incongruence between their experienced gender and the gender associated with their biological sex. When this occurs in the pre-pubertal child, GD resolves in the vast majority of patients by late adolescence. Currently there is a vigorous, albeit suppressed, debate among physicians, therapists, and academics regarding what is fast becoming the new treatment standard for GD in children. This new paradigm is rooted in the assumption that GD is innate, and involves pubertal suppression with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists followed by the use of cross-sex hormones—a combination that results in the sterility of minors. A review of the current literature suggests that this protocol is founded upon an unscientific gender ideology, lacks an evidence base, and violates the long-standing ethical principle of “First do no harm.”

題目Annual Report of Trends in Behaviour 2017 HIV and STIs in Australia
日期2017
簡介This year’s publication of the Annual Report of Trends in Behaviour on HIV and sexually transmissible infections (STIs) occurs within a very dynamic context for HIV and STIs. Some of the indicators we have relied on from the early days of the epidemic are no longer sufficient to capture and understand changes in practice. We have therefore adapted our surveillance mechanisms to identify and understand the impacts of advances in biomedical technologies and evolving community practices. This has necessitated additional care in unpacking and interpreting the results of our studies to guide Australian blood-borne virus (BBV) and STI responses.
