The Endocrine Society’s last chance to protect children

It’s not too late to turn back. That’s what the Endocrine Society, one of North America’s most powerful. For years, it has played a major role in lawsuits that have struck down state laws protecting children, and judges, politicians, physicians, and patients look to it for guidance. Yet recent developments should cause the Endocrine Society to reconsider its stance for the sake of children.

Yet since last year’s meeting, the Endocrine Society has come under sustained, and justified, pressure. Most notably, the United Kingdom’s, authored by renowned pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass, criticized the Endocrine Society’s guidelines for “lack developmental rigour.” She that there’s “no good evidence on the long-term outcomes” of the extremely aggressive treatments the society recommends., ultimately decide they aren’t.

The question now is whether the Endocrine Society will change its tune and once again put children’s health first. The initial signs aren’t promising. It to the Cass report by appealing not to evidence but to emotion: “We stand firm in our support of gender-affirming care” on the basis that it’s “needed and often lifesaving.”The society has also launched its own review of the evidence, yet that doesn’t look promising either.
