Poked around a bit for more information and found this article about the report from MSN:

The article itself feels fairly balanced and reasonable to me, though the statement from the president of WPATH, Dr. Marci Bowers, seems more like an affirmation of the accusations against her organization than a defense:

WPATH remains a science and consensus-based organization whose recommendations are widely endorsed by professional, medical organizations around the globe. We are the professionals who best know the medical needs of trans and gender-diverse individuals and stand opposed to individuals who de-legitimize diverse identities and complex needs of this population.
