Medical Director Calls for End of ‘Dangerous’ Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

A group that opposed gender-affirming care for minors says the treatments are harmful and permanent, and is calling for the practice to end in the U.S. should be ended in the U.S.

report – released by Do No Harm and written by its medical director, Dr. Kurt Miceli – debunks popular beliefs concerning gender-affirming care for minors, such as the idea that it improves quality of life and mental health or that it decreases suicides.

Do No Harm is an organization of “physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers focused on keeping identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice,” according to its website.

“The evidence behind these sex trait modifications is extremely weak, while the danger posed is extremely great,” Miceli wrote, calling for an end to gender-affirming care.

Gender-affirming care is “destroying the lives of countless youths through social affirmation, hormonal manipulation, and surgical removal of healthy body parts,” Miceli wrote.

Miceli told The Center Square that “the risks associated with so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ are extensive, spanning from psychological to physical.”
