A coalition of pediatricians, health policy groups and conservative organizations is calling on medical professionals to stop promoting transgender medical treatments for children. The American College of Pediatricians (ACP) and allied groups styling themselves as "Doctors Protecting Children" have published a declaration urging mainstream American medical associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics to abandon support for so-called "gender-affirming care" for transgender youths. It concluded that evidence supporting transgender medical treatments for children and adolescents was "remarkably weak." More than a dozen Republican-led states, including Texas, have already acted to ban or limit the use of puberty blockers on minors, with fierce opposition from American medical groups.
