A report by federal health officials has raised significant concerns regarding hormonal and surgical treatments for young people experiencing gender dysphoria, highlighting a lack of scientific evidence and potential long-term risks. This marks a significant change from prior medical guidelines that supported such treatments. The report suggests a greater emphasis on psychotherapy, which is controversial as some equate it with conversion therapy. It also casts doubt on the validity of gender identities that differ from oneâs sex at birth, aligning with a previous executive order from President Trump aiming to reevaluate the treatment standards for minors.
Federal health officials have reversed course on gender dysphoria treatment for young people, now prioritizing psychotherapy and questioning long-standing beliefs about gender identity.
The report emphasized a lack of scientific evidence for hormonal and surgical treatments, which comes after an executive order reflecting a pre-determined stance against these interventions.
