The Trump administration opened a new legal front against transgender healthcare on Wednesday, suing the world's leading transgender health organization and accusing it of misleading families, doctors, and insurers about gender-affirming care for minors.

The Federal Trade Commission, joined by the attorneys general of Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, filed the lawsuit against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health in federal court in Texas. The complaint alleges that WPATH made deceptive or unsubstantiated claims about the safety, effectiveness, medical necessity, and evidence base for puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries for young people.

The 123-page complaint names WPATH's Texas and Illinois corporations and the United States Professional Association for Transgender Health, WPATH's U.S. affiliate. Rather than targeting a hospital, state policy, or an individual provider, the lawsuit targets the organization whose Standards of Care have helped shape the medical, legal, and insurance landscape surrounding transgender health care for decades.

WPATH said the FTC's earlier attempt to obtain protected information from the organization had been "struck down by a federal judge" and called the new lawsuit "a similarly baseless actual complaint." The organization also said the FTC "is not a medical provider and has no place interfering with the process of individualized medical decision-making."

Maybe now we get to go to court and force them to provide evidence, then summon 10 people each from the 25+ professional medical organizations to testify, then bring in literally tons of printed studies from the past 10 years.

It's time to show the public how wrong these people are and back it up with science instead of Executive Opinions.

That's a great way to look at it Lori
