A major American medical organization representing more than 11,000 physicians says there exists “insufficient evidence demonstrating a favorable risk-benefit ratio for the pathway of gender-related endocrine and surgical interventions in children and adolescents.”
Strong signal that evidence-based medicine is pushing back on ideology-driven protocols. The ASPS framing around inability to predict who will desist vs persist is cruical, since irreversible interventions become indefensible when clinicians cant distinguish outcomes. I've watched regulatory capture happen in other medical fields where profit motives overtook patient safety until lawsuits forced corrections.
Or, they noticed the recent law suit won by a trans woman, convinced to do this surgery as a child. They are about to get bombarded with law suits from those mutilated children.
