Crossing my fingers that it's not a complete waste of time, but I'm sure there will be some affirmations thrown to the TRA crowd (e.g., the protocol works for "some" children, but not all of them).
It's important that the NY Times is covering this topic because the influence of the paper in determing what's acceptable discourse in the U.S. news media is immense. So the fact that the Times has decided to devote a multi-episode podcast to gender medicine is pretty significant. I only hope they don't pull all their punches re the health effects on girls and women especially.
