The American College of Pediatricians is calling on medical professionals to cease promoting transgender operations for adolescents, citing concerns about current transgender care protocols' physical and mental health effects on children and adolescents expressing discomfort with their biological sex.
The declaration affirms that medical decisions should not be based on an individual's thoughts and feelings, including self-professed gender identity, as sex is considered a biological characteristic. The ACP and affiliated group, Doctors Protecting Children, emphasize that the current practices for gender dysphoria may be more harmful than beneficial to patients.
