22 Republican Attorneys General Challenge AAP Over Transgender Youth Care

The group demands extensive records and accuses the AAP of misleading the public about the reversibility of puberty blockers.

Led by Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, 22 Republican AGs sent a letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) accusing it of violating consumer protection laws.
The letter demands answers to 14 questions and extensive access to internal documents concerning the AAP’s guidance on gender-affirming care.
The AGs argue that puberty blockers are not reversible and cite the controversial Cass Review to support their claims.
The AAP, representing 67,000 pediatricians, reaffirmed its support for puberty blockers and hormone therapy last August, emphasizing the need for continued research.
Legal challenges to state bans on gender-affirming care are ongoing, with the Supreme Court set to review Tennessee’s ban this term.
