About Us
SEGM – SOCIETY FOR EVIDENCES BASED GENDER MEDICINE
We are an international group of over 100 clinicians and researchers concerned about the lack of quality evidence for the use of hormonal and surgical interventions as first-line treatment for young people with gender dysphoria. We represent expertise from a range of clinical disciplines.
Our objectives include evaluating current interventions for gender dysphoria, providing balanced evidence summaries, promoting the development of effective and supportive psychosocial approaches for the care of young people with gender dysphoria and generating good, answerable questions for research.
Young people with gender dysphoria deserve respect, compassion, and high quality care. Please join us in our mission to promote evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and young adults that prioritizes life (i.e. measures of mortality), quality of life, long-term outcomes, and fully informed consent. SEGM is free from political, ideological, religious, or financial influences.
SEGM is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Contributions to SEGM are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. SEGM’s tax identification number is 84-4520593.…

SEGM – SOCIETY FOR EVIDENCE BASED GENDER MEDICINE
SEGM has been compiling a compendium of literature to highlight our position of concern over the proliferation of hormonal and surgical “gender-affirmative” interventions for gender dysphoric youth. This is NOT an all-inclusive list of all the studies in the field of pediatric gender medicine. Rather, we aim to highlight unsettled debates in the field. Some of the studies have been curated by SEGM. These studies show a “SEGM Analysis” tab.
This is an ongoing project. We welcome any feedback from the research community that will help improve this compendium. Please check this site frequently for updates….
