APA and WPATH Under Fire Over Youth Care
Description
Dr. Kurt Miceli of “Do No Harm” is slamming the American Psychological Association for inconsistent messaging on gender-affirming care for kids, urging the FTC to investigate whether the APA is pushing sex changes on minors. The controversy ties into WPATH’s controversial removal of age limits from some transition procedures, which the FTC is also probing for unsubstantiated claims. WPATH fiercely defends its patient-centered approach and sued to halt the FTC probe, citing First Amendment rights — a judge temporarily blocked the investigation in May. The debate rages on: supporters say these treatments are lifesaving for some youth, while critics fear irreversible harm and question whether minors can truly consent. This is just one front in a national firestorm over puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries for minors — a deeply polarizing and high-stakes issue.
