- Comment - a careful reading of the source shows that the main hook is not explicitly verified. The source says that misinformation has led to policy restrictions on health care for transgender people in the U.S. (instead of
minors' transgender health care in the United States and United Kingdom
). The source does go on to discuss bans on gender-affirming care for minors and misinformation continues to impact support for these bans, but thenmisinformation has been used to justify legislative restrictions
is not verified, and the support is not clarified as legislative support or public support. What would be verified is that transgender health care misinformation has been used to justify legislative restrictions on transgender health care in the United States. In any case, a peer reviewed source would be better than the non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation. Also, there is a questionable sentence in the lede to clear up and stuff about Australia too. starship.paint (talk / cont) 13:40, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
