This article discusses the shift in recent years of treatment for gender dysphoria, particularly in teens, away from psychotherapy and toward hormonal treatments. The author argues that, especially given the vulnerability of minors and the potentially damaging and lifelong effects of these hormonal treatments, psychotherapy should be preferred. The author also notes that the ability to give consent to such irreversible treatments is lacking or nonexistent in many minors.
