The ASPS, a group representing 92% of plastic surgeons in the U.S. and over 11,000 worldwide, is now the first major U.S.-based medical association to question guidelines set by organizations like the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which recommend allowing adolescents to undergo hormone therapy and genital surgeries, the City Journal first reported Monday. The organization confirmed to the DCNF that it “has not endorsed any organization’s practice recommendations for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria.”

“ASPS currently understands that there is considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria, and the existing evidence base is viewed as low quality/low certainty,” the organization said in a statement. “This patient population requires specific considerations.”

In 2021, the ASPS stated that it “actively opposed legislation seeking to criminalize actions by physicians and guardians when minors receive gender affirmation surgery.” Its 2023 legislative priorities included “opposing attempts to criminalize gender affirmation.”

The organization said it is “reviewing and prioritizing several initiatives that best support evidence-based gender surgical care to provide guidance to plastic surgeons.”

BREAKING: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, an organization representing 92% of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the U.S., becomes the first major medical association to break from the consensus over “gender-affirming care” for minors.

This is big news.

Transgender activists in the past have frequently claimed that “every major medical association” recognizes interventions such as cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers and genital surgeries as medically necessary. U.S. medical associations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association, have opposed restrictions on transgender procedures for minors in a number of states on this basis.

Following the April publication of the Cass review, a four-year review of medical studies commissioned by the National Health Service (NHS) England that found “weak evidence” for offering puberty blockers to children, most U.S. medical associations remained silent and did not express any concern about its findings.

The review found the “apparent consensus” on these issues may stem from the “circularity” of groups like WPATH and the Endocrines Society citing each other’s recommendations. Though the Cass review concluded that its findings should “raise questions about the quality of currently available guidelines,” neither WPATH nor the Endocrine Society committed to doing their own review.

Over the past several months, court documents and internal leaks revealed a lack of internal consensus within WPATH and showed it allowed its purportedly evidence-based standards to be influenced by policy and litigation considerations. They also showed that WPATH suppressed or chose not to seek evidence reviews that undermined their recommendations.

Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine also pressured WPATH to remove minimum age recommendations, court documents revealed.

Occasionally, Tweets like this drop and make me chuckle ever so briefly before the sobering realizations about society’s collapse take hold.

For those who don’t have Twitter, here’s the image:

In a normal world, this would be hilarious. The world is not normal, but a dude in drag taking jobs that have traditionally been for women is being normalized.

To stay on mission, there are certain rules Matthew has put into place to make sure we’re not just sharing America First content, but that it’s being framed in ways that tell the real story. The left has stolen vast amounts of control over language in western society and unfortunately many on the right have adopted leftist-approved terminology.

One of the most glaring examples of this is how they talk about guns. They say “mass shooter” and “gun violence” because they want to gaslight people into an improper understanding of the crimes. At The Liberty Daily, we use phrases like “violent criminals” and “mass murder” because these terms portray the real problem. As they say (though not nearly enough), “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.”

Arguably the biggest hot-button item being discussed by conservatives today is, as I like to call it, “Trans-Tyranny.” We do not use the terms “trans” or “transgender” by themselves for a very important reason. Both have been tested and approved by the powers-that-be to craft the tale they want told.

“Trans” invokes feelings of transition (aka improvement) while “transgender” invokes victimhood. When we use the term “trans,” we do so with qualifiers only. As I noted earlier, I call their actions “Trans-Tyranny” or part of the “Trans-Supremacy Agenda.” I refer to their violent criminals and abusive protesters as members of the “Trans-Terrorist Cult.”

Instead of saying, “transgender,” we refer to them as “transvestites.” That’s what the vast majority of them are by definition. While the term “transgender” makes many people see them as victims of being born in the “wrong” bodies, “transvestite” properly frames their fetish as either a mental illness, a cry for attention, or both.

As for those who are chemically and/or surgically changing themselves, these people have gone through permanent genital mutilation. They’re not transitioning themselves. They’re destroying themselves. Ask any detransitioner if they would classify what they had done to themselves as genital mutilation and most would agree.

I’ve long said the reason this mental illness is being intentionally spread to children is not as an attack on the sexes or societal norms but as an attack on faith. If they can convince a 10-year-old boy that he’s actually a girl who was born in the wrong body, then there are only two conclusions this child can come to regarding God. Either God made a mistake when creating him, in which case God is fallible, or God doesn’t exist at all. If they can get kids to see themselves as genetic mistakes that can be corrected by the ingenuity of men, then they will be exponentially more likely to grow up worshiping the gods of climate change, LGBTQIA+ supremacy, and government, instead of worshiping our Creator.

I say none of this with hatred in my heart. I truly pity these people because they’ve been indoctrinated and brainwashed into a worldview that harms them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This is why it’s so important we, as conservatives, use accurate terms when talking to or about these people. It is not kind to be “tolerant” of self-destructive actions.

They are part of the trans-tyranny cult. The vast majority of them are transvestites. Some of them are becoming trans-terrorists. These are truths. Sugar-coating the terminology based on demands of the woke powers-that-be won’t help anyone other than those who launched the demonic agenda in the first place.
