It's great they're finally reviewing evidence but it would be even better if the article said what they were looking for or why

Are they simply using suicides as a metric for "success" or is it more nuanced? Is the expectation a cure of dysphoria? What kind of outcomes are needed to outweigh the risks of treatment?

You're making the mistake of assuming there's any rational evidence involved.

This is a purely ideological decision. The cruelty is the point.
