A coalition of pediatricians and conservative organizations, including the American College of Pediatricians, published a declaration urging mainstream medical associations in the U.S. to abandon support for gender-affirming care for transgender youths. They argue that current treatments for gender dysphoria, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone therapies, are harmful. Despite this stance, the larger medical community supports gender-affirming care, citing improved mental health and well-being outcomes. European countries have also debated the use of such treatments for children and adolescents, with some imposing restrictions. The debate centers on the benefits and risks of gender transition procedures for minors.
