A leaked video and documents exposing the inner workings of the organization responsible for setting the so-called standards of care for gender transition treatments and surgeries on children are “shocking” and “horrific,” critics have said.

The leaked files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health—better known as WPATH—reveal “widespread medical malpractice on children and vulnerable adults,” according to a 241-page report disclosing emails, documents, and an 82-minute-long video.
