Leading American pediatric group says enabling child sex changes is "huge priority"

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that fighting laws that seek to ban “gender-affirming care” for minors, or in other words laws that seek to ban doctors from performing experimental sex changes on children, is a “huge priority” for the professional association.

The comments were made by Jeff Hudson during a presentation given as part of the Wisconsin AAP Annual Meeting in May this year. Hudson said the AAP is “heavily involved” in supporting challenges to these laws and policies. Hudson is the AAP's manager of Child Welfare Initiatives.
