A medical watchdog, Do No Harm, is calling on the top 10 medical societies in the US to end all genital removal procedures on minors for gender transitions, citing a lack of evidence that such surgeries benefit children.
Concerns Over Pediatric Gender Treatments
Do No Harm’s chief medical officer, Dr. Kurt Miceli, stated that professional medical societies that endorse so-called gender-affirming care in minors bear tremendous responsibility for the harm done to American children in the name of gender ideology. The organization sent a letter to the medical societies, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association, asking them to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing ‘gender transitions.’
According to Do No Harm, no high-quality evidence demonstrates that these surgeries have beneficial outcomes in children. The organization believes that medical societies must be clear and state their firm opposition to these unscientific and harmful procedures.
