Critical Perspectives on Trans Identity and Medical Ethics

This chapter critically examines the complexities of trans identity, body modification, and medical practices related to transgender healthcare. It raises ethical concerns about the influence of organizations like WPATH and the lack of scientific evidence guiding treatment protocols, while questioning the accountability of these entities. The discussion highlights the need for a more transparent and evidence-based approach to gender medicine, particularly in light of the high suicide rates among individuals who undergo transitioning procedures.
