Major medical group unveils policy pushing 'unobstructed access' to gender-transition treatment for children
Fox News
The American Psychological Association adopted a "landmark" policy supporting gender-affirming treatments for "transgender, gender-diverse, nonbinary children, adolescents and adults."
The policy affirms "evidence-based care for transgender, gender diverse and nonbinary children, adolescents and adults" and further "affirms APA’s support for unobstructed access to healthcare and evidence-based clinical care." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
"Evidence-based clinical care, including gender-affirming care, should be noncoercive, adaptive to and centered on the needs of the individual receiving care, and rooted in psychological and clinical science, including recognition of gender diversity as a part of normal human diversity as well as recognition of limits in the current state of scientific knowledge," the policy read.
