What's the full list of countries that have had national reviews of trans healthcare and concluded that Cass is full of shit? Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Poland, Australia and New Zealand? Any others?

Main excerpt: “Amsterdam UMC does not agree with the conclusion in the Cass review that there is insufficient evidence for the usage of puberty blockers.”
Further: “Double-blind controlled trials […] is not ethically feasible for evaluating the treatment for trans youth.”
Finally (paraphrased): “AUMC believes it is unethical to withhold necessary medical care (i.e. puberty blockers) from patients who wish not to participate in scientific research.”
For context: AUMC is the largest hospital in the country, and has the main clinic for transgender healthcare.
Sadly, in the UK, there are MPs who say they are trans-supportive also saying, “I agree with the need for trials… (irrespective of anything tens of furrin scientists may say)”

Japan. I wrote a review of it when it came out. Their conclusion was that Cass was unique to the situation in the UK and not applicable elsewhere. They also took umbrage with other areas.
Japan’s critique of Cass seemed very mild on the surface but I know the Japanese very well and this was stinging criticism by their standards of politeness.
