At @sciencebasedmed this morning, contrary to the false messaging of lawmakers promoting laws criminalizing such care for gender dysphoria and trans adolescents, gender-affirming care is NOT experimental.sciencebasedmedicine.org/gender-affirmi…
I'm going to say it again. The claims by the "gender critical" and by the ideologues promoting laws criminalizing gender-affirming care that such care is "experimental" is straight from the antivax playbook. 2/
Long ago, antivaxxers were claiming that the childhood vaccination schedule is "experimental," or at least "not evidence-based." That was false. 3/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-recommende…
Since the #COVID19 pandemic, antivaxxers have been claiming that #CovidVaccines are "experimental," even though they passed phase III clinical trials involving tens of thousands of subjects and now billions of doses have been administered with an excellent safety record. 4/
So, whenever you hear a legislator or the "gender critical" claiming that gender-affirming care is "experimental," remember that this is a tactic that antivaxxers have been using for decades. 5/5
