Now the American Medical Association Warns Against Gender Mutilations for Children

Pretty amazing that our "experts" just figured out that you should not mutilate children.

We should definitely trust them.

Note, however, they still support sterilizing artificial cross-sex hormones which cause irreversible effects, of course. They're just opposing the most visible and most politically toxic part of the Trans All Children agenda.

Another domino has fallen in the war against child mutilation as the American Medical Association (AMA) has renounced gender surgeries on children. This is the second major medical group this week that's taken such a stand. On Tuesday, I reported that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) was the first to come out against sex change surgeries for minors.

More to the point, the AMA said that gender surgeries should wait at least until patients are adults. Prior to this week, the majority of the medical community and its professional associations fought against restrictions on gender surgeries and related care. Their earlier stance was to push for "evidence-based" decisions that center on what they had described as the unique needs of the person, regardless of age.

In other words, the ghouls favored making gender surgery decisions on a case-by-case basis, even with children. In addition to surgery, such decisions may also have considered pharmaceutical puberty blockers and hormone therapies.

In making its announcement, the AMA said that while it continued to support treatment for gender-confused minors, there is not enough research on the risks and benefits of surgical procedures for young patients. This stance is very similar to that of the plastic surgeons, which the AMA acknowledged: "In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood."

So what happened that has caused so much of this new enlightenment? My colleague Rick Moran covered an interesting legal case and a $2 million award that may have single-handedly destroyed the sex change industry for minors.

...

Last week, [a detransitioner named, supposedly, "Fox"] Varian won a $2 million jury award -- not an out-of-court settlement -- in this landmark case. The court victory for Varian has sent shockwaves throughout the medical industry.

Cutting healthy tissue off children didn't bother them.

But having to pay higher malpractice insurance rates? That finally roused their consciences.

If you're keeping score, there's one organization we have not yet heard from in terms of changing its position on the issue, and that's the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In fact, when the New York Times reached out to the AAP for comment, it said its position on gender surgeries for minors hasn't changed.

The experts want to mutilate your children.

Always Trust the Experts.
