(The Center Square) – Medical watchdog Do No Harm sent a letter to the top 10 medical societies of America asking them to end all genital removal procedures on minors for gender transitions, stating there exists no evidence that such surgeries benefit children.
Do No Harm’s chief medical officer, Dr. Kurt Miceli, told The Center Square that “professional medical societies that endorse so-called gender-affirming care in minors bear tremendous responsibility for the harm done to American children in the name of gender ideology.”
