ASPS Boldly Rejects Gender Surgeries for Minors
Submitted by MAGA

The tide is turning.
In a landmark decision, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has become the first major medical society to publicly renounce gender surgeries for minors.
In a nine-page position statement, the ASPS cited “insufficient evidence” regarding the benefits versus risks associated with such surgeries for individuals under 19.
This bold move sheds light on the increasingly controversial landscape of gender-related medical interventions for young people.
The ASPS’s position reflects the serious concerns surrounding the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors, asserting that more reliable data is needed before proceeding with irreversible procedures.
The society highlighted that many children who experience gender dysphoria eventually resolve their feelings without medical intervention.
This claim is supported by governmental reports indicating that a significant majority of children experiencing these feelings will see resolution naturally.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised the ASPS for its ethical stance and commitment to protecting vulnerable youth from potentially harmful procedures.
Kennedy noted that “the ASPS is standing up to the overmedicalization lobby,” reinforcing a trend toward prioritizing children's well-being over political agendas.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz echoed these sentiments, comparing the current practices related to gender surgeries for minors to past medical ethics blunders, such as lobotomies.
This monumental shift in medical consensus is particularly notable given the social and political climate surrounding discussions on gender identity and medical treatment for minors.
If the left had its way, under leaders like Kamala Harris, these discussions might have taken a very different trajectory.
Instead, the Trump administration's policies and leadership have opened the doors for medical professionals to make decisions rooted in science and patient welfare.
The ASPS decision is not just a medical guideline; it represents a pivotal cultural moment, signaling a refusal to accept uncritical acceptance of gender treatments for minors until a more thorough examination can be conducted.
Expect more healthcare institutions to follow suit, as the groundwork is laid for a more cautious approach to youth medical interventions in a rapidly evolving field.
