This surge parallels what has been documented among adolescents and young adults in the United States, in particular among natal females, over the past decade.
This was really good. Thank you. In the future, I hope there will be research looking at medical interventions on minors through age 25 broken down state by state to see if there seems to be a surge in medicalization at age 18 in states with bans, increases outside the norm in states without bans that neighbors states with bans, or a bubble of increased prescriptions or surgeries this year that may signal a rush into medicalization before Trump might ban them (either in reality or because of a fear it will happen). I feel like we need this data so we can know if bans actually help reduce medicalization of minors and young adults
"that about 1 in 1,000 privately inured U.S. 17 year olds" . Yes, you have nitpicky readers.............i do believe you mean "insured" and not inured.
Thank you for this important information and analysis!

Do No Harm has done state by state analysis. https://benryan.substack.com/p/at-least-14000-us-minors-have-received
These are concerning findings. Excellent reporting on this topic, as always!
Been a while could I ask you to take a look at this study claiming there's good evidence that gender affirming care reduces suicide https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JxnN7Lz82ORlfqpg4yC6d-EoSV-iCUNs/view?usp=drivesdk

Look, DD, they were inured to many things, they're just private and we can't tell you what they are! It's called HIPAA.
