Gender detransitioners and experts say there should be more caution in pushing sex reassignment treatment on young people, according to a New York Times opinion piece Friday. Suggesting she was misled, Powell told the columnist, "I wish there had been more open conversations. "Evidence-based, lifesaving care, safe and effective, medically necessary, the science is settled — and none of that is evidence based." She also mentioned how many European countries are taking a step back from medical "gender affirmation" for youth after controversies and realizing the studies their methods were based on were flawed. In the U.S., she concluded "rising above culture-war politics and returning to reason" would be "the most humane path forward."
