<p>The American Medical Association (AMA) &#8212; which wields major influence as the nation&#8217;s largest medical association &#8212; has reversed course on its position concerning transgender surgical procedures for minors.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/first-major-medical-org-comes-out-against-trans-surgeries-for-minors/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">statement</a> to National Review, the AMA said “the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement,&#8221; adding that it &#8220;agrees&#8221; with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) &#8220;that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”</p>
<p>The AMA added that it supports “evidence-based treatment,” including other types of so-called gender-affirming care for minors.</p>
<p>As highlighted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-fight-is-not-over-major-medical-org-rejects-transgender-surgeries-for-kids">The Daily Wire</a>, ASPS released a statement on Tuesday that said available evidence does not support genital procedures or removing the breasts of young girls who identify as boys. The ASPS also said there was “insufficient” support for placing kids on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.</p>
<p>The pivot from the AMA is particularly stark, since the association has gone all-in on transgender procedures for minors even in the face of mounting evidence that such action is harmful and often irreversible.</p>
<p>Also, the timing of the change is incredibly notable. Just last week, a young woman was awarded a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shocking-details-emerge-in-landmark-2-million-trans-malpractice-judgment?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Shocking+Details+Emerge+In+Landmark+%242+Million+‘Trans’+Malpractice+Judgment">$2 million judgment</a> in her lawsuit against the medical professionals who advanced and performed the removal of her healthy breasts at just 16 years old as part of transgender &#8220;treatment&#8221; for the teen, who at the time was suffering from a series of mental health issues.</p>
<p>Mere months ago, the AMA <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americas-largest-medical-association-sides-with-child-mutilation-after-scotus-ruling">reaffirmed</a> its commitment to transgender procedures for minors in the wake of the <span class="Yjhzub" data-processed="true">Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling in </span><span class="Yjhzub" data-processed="true"><i>United States v. Skrmetti, </i>which effectively allowed states to ban such surgeries. </span></p>
<p>“The American Medical Association is disappointed in today’s decision that opens the door to further intrusion into patient care and harmful government interference into the practice of medicine,” AMA President Dr. Bobby Mukkamala <a href="https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/ama-press-releases/ama-statement-united-states-v-skrmetti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement after the ruling came down.</p>
<div class="dw-mm-player-container">Mukkamala added, “The AMA opposes efforts by the government to insert itself into the patient-physician relationship and interfere in clinical decision-making with no regard for the clinical standards of care.&#8221;</div>
<p class="dw-mm-player-container">Moreover, in video footage <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2267-trump-protects-the-american-flag-plus-we-break-a-major-story?elementPosition=3&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> by The Ben Shapiro Show, Mukkamala makes wild remarks about the benefits of transgender procedures for minors, such as claiming puberty blockers are reversible and citing other questionable statistics about transgender regret and suicide rates, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-an-expert-at-all-damning-video-exposes-medical-org-over-support-for-trans-procedures">The Daily Wire</a> reported.</p>
<div class="dw-mm-player-container">Mukkamala, referring to trans health &#8220;experts,&#8221; also said on camera that he has &#8220;no business discussing the science that’s brought to the American Medical Association from people that spent years in training for this, and years taking care of patients for this.”</div>
<p>Additionally, in 2023, the AMA <a href="https://www.endocrine.org/news-and-advocacy/news-room/2023/ama-gender-affirming-care">passed</a> a resolution that committed to “opposing any criminal and legal penalties against patients seeking gender-affirming care, family members or guardians who support them in seeking medical care, and health care facilities and clinicians who provide gender-affirming care.”</p>
<p>The association also vowed to “work at the federal and state level with legislators and regulators to oppose such policies and collaborate with other organizations to educate the Federation of State Medical Boards about the importance of gender-affirming care.”</p>
