The American medical establishment spent years insisting that puberty blockers were safe and reversible, that gender transition saved young lives, and that anyone who questioned the science was a bigot. A new peer-reviewed paper suggests the “science” used to justify the barbaric procedures was the problem all along.
According to a report from Just the News, a critical review published May 30, 2026, in the European Journal of Developmental Psychology concluded that "three decades of 'Dutch Protocol' research has not produced reliable evidence." The Dutch Protocol is the foundational framework for medically transitioning kids suffering from gender confusion.
Clinicians in the Netherlands, where they developed it in the 1990s, required long-term documented gender confusion before any transition steps.
