American Academy of Pediatrics rushes
to medicalize 'trans' youth against expert advice

"There are other ways to treat gender dysphoria,
and AAP seems to be ignoring these other approaches,"
said Stella O’Malley, a psychotherapist
and member of Genspect.

Even Dr Erica Anderson,
a transgender clinical psychologist who has seen hundreds of teenage patients seeking medical transition, recognizes the social influence that has seen numbers of trans-identifying teens skyrocket.

"Millions of school-age American children have been shut at home during the Covid-19 pandemic, bombarded by online influencers telling them typical adolescent body-image anxiety is a sign of being trans," she said. "This is persuasive to impressionable, insecure young people who are searching for answers," adding that the AAP approach struggles to differentiate between "gender-questioning youth and persistently transgender youth."
A formal request to review the AAP’s policy was submitted by five of their own members, pediatricians, who in March of this year, requested a thorough and systematic evaluation of the available evidence to update their position. But a new rule prevents pediatricians from contributing to the discussion.
Genspect accused the AAP of "preemptively suppressing debate by not allowing comments," a rule they say that did not exist last year. The AAP’s Annual Leadership Conference meets at the Chicago Westin Northwest on Thursday.
While the US under the Biden Administration is moving full steam ahead to allow children unmitigated access to medical transition, several European countries like Sweden and Finland have changed course to a more cautious approach.
