No gender experts on puberty blocker review panel, says trans health group
'If you were going to review cardiac services, you would want a cardiologist.'
The Queensland review of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone prescribing has no medical experts in gender-affirming care on its panel, drawing criticism from Australia’s main transgender health body.
The panel, revealed last week, is led by consultant psychiatrist Professor Ruth Vine and includes a child psychiatrist, an endocrinologist, three academics and a former judge.
