Great reporting from the Post Dispatch on the Wash U Transgender Center

Here is a nuanced, deeply-reported, well-sourced article on the Wash U Transgender Center. The Post-Dispatch talked to 30 families who have received care there, and they don't substantiate any of Jamie Reed's allegations. While some families had issues with their treatment, none of them reported feeling pressured or rushed into treatment. Usually the center was the one slowing patients down. The P-D recounts cases of people doing therapy and social transition for years prior to any medical intervention. And the center flatly does not do surgery on anyone under 18. Reed refused to comment on the story.
