It's clear that the public is increasingly rejecting the transgender fiction that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.
The medical community itself is undergoing a retrenchment over its rush to embrace transgender treatments on minors. These include cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries to cut off healthy breasts and male genitals.
On Feb. 3, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons released new guidelines recommending against irreversible procedures such as mastectomy, phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, hysterectomy, or orchiectomy on minors under 19.
Conversely, the largest doctor's guild, the American Medical Association, still officially opposes any bans or restrictions on "gender-affirming care" for minors.
