Sinai is now one of two psychiatrists in Canada speaking up publicly about concerns regarding the gender affirming model in youth medicine.

​

Dr. Bradley and Dr. Sinai share their research, practice and evidence-based approach to examining issues such as:

​​

  • What is gender dysphoria?

  • Does gender dysphoria create a suicide risk? 

  • Why has there been such a dramatic increase recently in the numbers of children and youth with gender dysphoria -- especially girls? 

  • What harms are being done by gender affirming care? 

  • Why is the medical profession reluctant to research this issue or apply evidence-based practice?
