21 Republican AGs Challenge Pediatricians on Puberty Blockers

State attorneys general accuse the American Academy of Pediatrics of misleading claims about the reversibility and safety of puberty blockers for minors.

  • The coalition, led by Idaho AG Raúl Labrador, warns the AAP may be violating state consumer protection laws.
  • The AGs' letter demands the AAP retract claims that puberty blockers are reversible and provide supporting documentation.
  • Puberty blockers are linked to serious health risks, including bone density loss, sexual dysfunction, and potential infertility.
  • Countries like England, Finland, and Sweden have halted or restricted the use of puberty blockers due to safety concerns.
  • The AAP's recommendations are under scrutiny for being influenced by political agendas rather than medical evidence.
