Medical Societies Flip on Transgenderism

I have posted many times on how the major medical organizations have been corrupted, especially on political and LGBTQIA issues.

Now a NY Times op-ed announces:

As GLAAD puts it on its website, “Every major medical association supports health care for transgender people and youth as safe and lifesaving.” But something confounding has happened in the last few weeks: Cracks have appeared in the supposed wall of consensus. ...

The next day, the American Medical Association — which has long approved of such procedures — announced that “in the absence of clear evidence, the A.M.A. agrees with A.S.P.S. that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.” ...

The documents, separated by about a year and a half (and, perhaps as significantly, one presidential election), straightforwardly contradict each other. The A.P.A. in 2024 argued that there is a “comprehensive body of psychological and medical research supporting the positive impact of gender-affirming treatments” for individuals “across the life span.” But in 2025, the group argued that “psychologists do not make broad claims about treatment effectiveness.”

What changed? Was there new evidence?

No, the biggest change was the election of Donald Trump.

There were a lot of complaints about the President's State of the Union address. But the Trump 47 Presidency has been a return to sanity. Someday people will wonder about how the world went so crazy about transgenderism and other issues.
