Florida took legal action on Tuesday against a trio of medical organizations that promote transgender procedures on children, The Daily Wire has learned. 
Republican Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a suit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics over their support of transgender procedures on kids. The suit accuses the organizations of pushing irreversible medical procedures on gender-confused children for financial benefit. 
“For years, these groups insisted the recommendations were settled science, but behind closed doors, they knew the evidence was weak,” Uthmeier said in a video shared with The Daily Wire. “They knew the outcomes [were] uncertain, and the risks very real. Parents were not told the full story. In fact, some parents were told that if they didn’t put their kids through permanent, life-altering, sick procedures, like double mastectomies and castration, their child would commit suicide. Not only is that unethical and dangerous medicine, but it is against the law.”
Uthmeier added that “truth was replaced with political activism.”

The suit was filed in the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in Saint Lucie County, Florida. It accuses the organizations of violating Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and engaging in racketeering by misleading “patients, parents, insurers, regulators, and courts about the reversibility and efficacy of pediatric sex interventions.”
The organizations’ “immoral actions capitalize on the mental distress of children — as well as the natural affections and fears [of] their parents — to help their members sell lucrative surgeries and drugs that irreversibly mutilate and chemically alter children’s bodies without providing any credible medical benefit,” a copy of the 75-page lawsuit obtained by The Daily Wire states.
The suit lays out a comprehensive history of the development of transgender procedures and how each organization has pushed guidelines that endorsed procedures like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries that remove the breasts of girls who identify as boys. 
“Defendants have a problem: there is no credible evidence that sex interventions alleviate pediatric gender dysphoria. To convince patients, insurance companies, regulators, and judges otherwise, Defendants initiated a coordinated campaign to develop ‘clinical guidelines’ recommending sex intervention for pediatric gender dysphoria,” the suit reads. 
Uthmeier wants the court to rule that the organizations’ promotion of transgender procedures constitutes unfair trade practices, impose a civil penalty of $1 million against each defendant, block the organizations from advertising the procedures as safe and reversible, and impose a $10,000 penalty for each time a false claim about the safety of transgender procedures was made. 
“Defendants have disseminated multiple misleading advertisements with the same or similar intent (to legitimize and promote sex interventions as treatment for pediatric gender dysphoria), results (the purchase of pediatric sex interventions), accomplices (co-Defendants), victims (minors experiencing gender dysphoria and those paying for their care, such as parents, legal guardians, employers, and insurers), and methods of commission (through representations on their websites and publications),” the suit continues. 
Groups such as the American Parents Coalition, Consumers’ Research, and Do No Harm all praised Uthmeier’s actions. 
“The years-long coordinated campaign by WPATH and other medical organizations to disregard the serious health risks of sex change interventions on minors will go down as the most egregious medical scandal in modern history,” Do No Harm medical director Kurt Miceli told The Daily Wire. “These groups have obfuscated risk and misrepresented the low quality of evidence to support puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and surgeries for children — interventions that can cause lasting harm.”
