Wellness Unmasked Weekly Rundown: Gender Surgery for Minors Under Scrutiny: New Medical Guidelines, Risks & Global Pushback
Description
Dr. Nicole Saphier examines the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ new recommendation to delay gender-related surgeries until at least age 19, citing a lack of proven benefit and growing evidence of harm to minors. She breaks down the medical risks—including sterility, surgical complications, and long-term regret—and explains why earlier practices are now facing serious legal and ethical challenges, including a major malpractice case in New York.
Dr. Saphier also explores how countries across Europe have already reversed course with stricter, evidence-based guidelines, and why the U.S. medical establishment is now being forced to confront ideology-driven care.
