In May, On Point featured the first U.S. broadcast interview of Dr. Hilary Cass.

The UK-based pediatrician had just completed the world’s largest systematic review of medicalized care for gender questioning youth.

The Cass Review concluded that “for most young people, a medical pathway will not be the best way to manage their gender-related distress.”

On Point senior editor Dorey Scheimer speaks with parents about how they navigate decisions for their transgender and gender-questioning children, and the challenges they face.
