Part 5/7:
Dr. Ross raised concerns about the motivations behind parents seeking gender transition for their children. He argued that many parents are misinformed by the medical establishment in such decisions, often overlooking underlying mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. According to Ross, transitioning is wrongly presented as a solution to these complex problems, leading to prolonged distress in children who undergo these interventions. He asserted that the available data contradicts claims that such treatments lead to improved mental health outcomes for young people.
