The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has become the first major US medical association to publicly announce that it "has not endorsed any organization’s practice recommendations for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria."
The 11k-member ASPS, representing about 90% of the field in the US and Canada, has now gone against the pro-medical treatment stance of other major medical groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Medical Association (AMA).The 11K-member ASPS, representing about 90% of the field in the US and Canada, has now gone against the pro-medical treatment stance of other major medical groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Medical Association (AMA).

As more evidence emerges, public officials have decided to blockdelay irreversible surgeries for minors while retaining their right to transition through other means. Such medical procedures are also very rare, which is why we shouldn't allow this debate to blur the lines between surgery and the myriad of other gender-affirming treatments.
While it's true that gender-affirming surgery for minors is rare, that doesn't mean it should be banned.
