The attorney general's opinion drew widespread condemnation by medical professionals, but the report's authors argue theirs is the first"point-by-point rebuttal" of his claims. The analysis also picks apart similar arguments made by the state of Alabama in support of its legislation criminalizing medical treatment for transgender youth.
