The American College of Pediatrics held a press conference to denounce current medical protocols for children experiencing gender distress. Spokespeople called for an immediate halt to social affirmation, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones, citing the Cass Review and leaked WPATH files. The organization affirms that biological sex is a dimorphic, innate trait present in every nucleated cell and cannot be altered by surgical or chemical intervention.

Dr. Marcy Bowers, president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), defended gender-affirming care by claiming trans identities have existed since "antiquity." Bowers dismissed the need for "level one" randomized controlled trials, comparing gender transition to cancer treatment where using a placebo would be unethical. The discussion highlights the controversy over WPATH removing age guidelines for surgeries and the lack of consensus-based science in the field.

ABC's Nightline featured a story on a father and daughter undergoing gender reassignment together, described by reporter Juju Chang as a "moving, touching story." The hosts analyze the media's role in normalizing these transitions and examine the WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) standards of care. They argue the criteria for surgery and hormone therapy are increasingly subjective.
