Background
A review into the effectiveness of HRT for Trans adults has been reported following the pause of prescription of bridging hormones for 16-17 year olds after the Equality and Health Inequalities Impact Assessment (EHIA) concluded that evidence for their effectiveness was ‘weak’. We take into account professional and academic dispute of the validity of study and thus dispute these findings. We are concerned that this report could aim to support a conclusion already decided.
