The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) does not believe there is strong evidence for providing sex-change surgeries to minors, the organization confirmed in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation.  The ASPS, a group representing 92% of plastic surgeons in the U.S. and over 11,000 worldwide, is now the first major U.S.-based medical association to question guidelines set by organizations like the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which recommends allowing adolescents to undergo hormone therapy and genital surgeries, the City Journal first reported Monday. The organization confirmed to the DCNF that it “has not endorsed any organization’s practice recommendations for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria.” More at First major US medical association says evidence for child sex-change surgeries is ‘low quality’ (bizpacreview.com)
