Plastic surgeons association breaks with medical establishment on child gender transitions

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has become the first major association of medical professionals to break with the American medical establishment’s consensus that gender transitions for children are appropriate for treating gender dysphoria.

According to a report released Monday by the Manhattan Institute, ASPS acknowledged “considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions” and “the existing evidence base is viewed as low quality/low certainty.”
