Some very well-respected psychiatrists have raised serious concerns about the ethics and methodology of a new prospective study into transgender children, taking place at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital Gender Service.
The protocol of the study, known as the Trans20 longitudinal cohort study has been recently published in the journal, BMJ Open.
In essence, the study aims to track the long-term outcomes of children and adolescents who have presented to this service over the last three years (from February 2017 to February 2020). Researchers estimate that the final number of participants will be about 600.
