The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is calling for a “systemic review” of their guidance on sex changes for kids.
The news comes as multiple European countries urge caution on administering transgender medicine to gender dysphoric youth. @DailyCallerhttps://t.co/IMatx8jodR

“ACPeds is disappointed that the AAP has reaffirmed its support for transgender interventions on minors,” the group said in a press release. “However, we are encouraged that the AAP is open to re-evaluating its position. There is lack of any significant clinical evidence and a lack of long-term positive outcomes for children treated with puberty blocking drugs, sex hormones, and transgender interventions. Additionally, it is a known fact that gender dysphoria resolves in most minors who are allowed to go through puberty.”
“We reaffirm our position that these interventions are scientifically unproven and amount to child abuse. The AAP must take into account the mounting scientific evidence against transgender interventions on minors which has led some countries, including the U.K., Finland, and Sweden to pull back their support for such interventions.”
[As well-intentioned as this effort is, it won’t work. The medical establishment is benefiting too much from their creation of lifetime medical cases. The only way this comes to an end is when insurers get stuck with massive jury awards for malpractice. That will bring a halt to malpractice coverage for practitioners doing sex-change therapies, especially on minors. Let the lawsuits begin. — Ed]
