Endocrine Society opposes legislative efforts to prevent access to medical care for transgender youth
Apr 15 2021
The Endocrine Society opposes legislative efforts that do not conform to medical evidence and clinical practice to prevent transgender and gender diverse adolescents from accessing gender-affirming medical care.
Arkansas passed a law April 6 prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors, the first law of its kind in the United States. Seventeen other states have introduced or are considering similar legislation. The proposals reflect widespread misinformation about the nature of gender-affirming medical care.
These policies criminalize physicians efforts to provide needed medical care and disregard widely accepted medical evidence and clinical practice guidelines.
