Thank God that's over. Two of the most powerful medical institution in the US, and American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association, have unanimously gone on the record as saying "There is insufficient evidence to justify gender transition surgery for minors."

"Today, our colleagues at ASPS concluded that the evidence supporting gender-related surgery in minors is insufficient and of low certainty. The American Medical Association respects the expertise and dedication of surgeons who care for patients every day. The AMA supports evidence-based treatment, including gender-affirming care."Currently, the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement. In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood."
