American Academy of Pediatrics Announces Review of ‘Gender Affirming Care’
The American Academy Of Pediatrics (AAP) has announced a review of “gender-affirming care” for gender dysphoric children in a win for critics who have long called for such a review.
The country’s leading pediatrician professional association said last week that it will conduct a “systematic review of the evidence” around transgender medical interventions for children.
Such interventions can include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, double mastectomies to make girls appear more masculine, and sometimes even genital surgeries for older youth.
The AAP authorized the development of an “expanded set of guidance for pediatricians based on a systematic review of the evidence,” the group said in press release on Friday.
However, AAP leadership also reaffirmed their confidence in the current guidelines and said they remain in the best interests of children. (Read more from “American Academy of Pediatrics Announces Review of ‘Gender Affirming Care’” HERE)
