Do No Harm and Aristotle Foundation Release Updates to Groundbreaking Study: “Reassigned”

RICHMOND, VA; July 31, 2024 – Do No Harm and the Aristotle Foundation released updates to Do No Harm’s groundbreaking study, “Reassigned.”

This report, co-authored by Do No Harm’s Ian Kingsbury and Roy Eappen and the Aristotle Foundation’s J. Edward Les, compares the policies and guardrails around the legal and medical transition for minors in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The original study, published in January 2023, has been updated to include Canadian provinces, as well as the U.K. ban on puberty blockers brought about by the Cass Review.

According to the latest version of the study, the difference in approaches between North America and Europe leads to a concerning reality in which patients in North America are eligible for potentially irreversible or medically harmful interventions at a much younger age than those in Europe.

Ian Kingsbury, Do No Harm Research Director:

“This study shows that the European consensus, being grounded in science and common sense, continues to move away from medical interventions for minors. To protect our youngest and most vulnerable patients, the United States and Canada should follow their lead.”

Roy Eappen, Do No Harm Senior Fellow:

“The updated ‘Reassigned’ study continues to demonstrate that Canada and the United States should do away with harmful gender transitions for minors. We can and must end this modern-day conversion therapy.”
