Hitting the brakes on transgender treatments for youth: International medical groups call for caution on hormonal and surgical interventions
“The 202-year-old National Academy of Medicine in France on February 28 called for medical practitioners to exercise ‘the greatest caution’ in administering puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to French youth struggling with gender dysphoria.
“In recent months, medical groups and establishments in multiple countries have called for putting the brakes on hormone and surgical interventions for youth. But in the United States, by contrast, the medical establishment continues to promote an ‘affirmation-only’ model of treating childhood gender dysphoria while stifling debate over evidence-based treatments.”
