Again government thinks they know more than medical professionals. Transgender people are easy target.
I posted this statistic on my board other day when I posted about book Raising Ryland. Study found 40% transgender had attempted suicide compared to 4.5% whole population.

The Federal Trade Commission is suing the leading transgender health care group in federal court. The agency argued on Wednesday that the World Professional Association for Transgender Health made “deceptive claims” in its health care guidelines for transgender children. The group’s members include psychiatrists, surgeons, pediatricians, endocrinologists and primary care doctors who work with transgender patients.

The FTC, like the Health Department, has been on a monthslong legal tear to clamp down on providers and hospitals that offer gender-affirming care. Gender-affirming care refers to medical interventions for minors experiencing distress that their bodies do not align with their gender identity.

The agency alleged that WPATH’s trans care recommendations violate the FTC Act by misleading parents and patients about the necessity and efficacy of these treatments.

“The FTC filed a lawsuit against WPATH alleging that the organization made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, hormones and sex-change surgeries,” said Andrew Ferguson, the FTC chair, in a news release. “Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services.”

Many of America’s leading provider groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, strongly support gender-affirming care. Providers have argued that transgender care can save children’s lives.
