Conclusions
Our study provides quantitative evidence that access to PBs or GAHs in a multidisciplinary gender-affirming setting was associated with mental health improvements among TNB youths over a relatively short time frame of 1 year. The associations with the highest aORs were with decreased suicidality, which is important given the mental health disparities experienced by this population, particularly the high levels of self-harm and suicide. Our findings have important policy implications, suggesting that the recent wave of legislation restricting access to gender-affirming care19 may have significant negative outcomes in the well-being of TNB youths.20 Beyond the need to address antitransgender legislation, there is an additional need for medical systems and insurance providers to decrease barriers and expand access to gender-affirming care.

Note the important improvement in 'Suicidality' measures in the report...a critical objective in Transgender care.
More mis-information stemming from Baron's inability to conduct any honest research before posting...added to his reliance on "Conservative Talk Radio"....what other outcome were you expecting? The only question is 'Where will he strike next?" ;-).
