American College of Pediatrics Calls on Organizations to Stop Gender Interventions for Children

February 1, 2023 | American College of Pediatrics (ACPeds) Calls on Organizations to Stop Gender Interventions for Children |

Newly published data has prompted ACPeds to call for organizations to halt current transgender protocols for young people “because of the very well documented harms and questionable benefits of such interventions”.

The published critique stated,” “…no other pediatric intervention of similarly drastic nature has ever been delivered at a scale based on such low quality of evidence…”  The authors point out that “the rate of medical detransition is already 10%-30% just a few years following transition (Boyd et al., 2022; Hall et al., 2021; Roberts et al., 2022). These numbers are likely to rise in the future as regret historically has taken over a decade to materialize (Dhejne et al., 2014).”

There are many things in life we wait for such as driving a car, career, marriage, voting, military service, and so forth. Reaching a certain level of psychological and physical development is necessary in order to have the intellectual capacity and maturity to make such decisions that will have profound, long-term effects on our future. -JD
