Two‑Year Hormones Improve Youth Outcomes

A multicenter observational study in the New England Journal of Medicine tracked psychosocial functioning in transgender adolescents over two years of gender‑affirming hormone therapy and reports overall improvements in measures of mental health and functioning. The study is large, multi‑site, and provides longitudinal (pre/post) evidence rather than cross‑sectional snapshots. — Two‑year clinical outcomes give policymakers, courts, schools, and clinicians concrete empirical evidence to cite in debates over access to hormone therapy for minors.
