There’s been a lot of confusion circulating lately about where the medical community stands on gender-affirming care.
Earlier this year, reports suggested that the American Medical Association supported a statement from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that diminished support for gender-affirming care.
That claim is not accurate.
The AMA has now clarified:
➡️ They did not endorse the ASPS statement
➡️ Their longstanding policy still recognizes gender-affirming care as medically necessary
This matters—because misinformation can create fear for families who are simply trying to care for their children with guidance from qualified medical professionals.
