A London psychiatrist who spent 12 years working with children at the United Kingdom’s government-funded Tavistock gender clinic is warning that “transitioning” patients to a new gender identity isn’t the answer to gender dysphoria.

Countries embracing “gender-affirming care” risk needless mass sterilization, Dr. Az Hakeem told The Epoch Times. He is the author of the new book “Detrans: When Transition is Not the Solution.”
