New Report by Doctors on Long Term Effects of Gender Treatments on Adolescents | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The American College of Pediatricians is coming out with a brand new position statement on the long term effects of puberty blockers, social transitioning and cross-sex hormones on the well-being of adolescents with gender dysphoria. The report called "Mental Health in Adolescents with Incongruence of Gender Identity and Biological Sex", found that these treatments have no lasting benefit for adolescents and urges medical professionals and parents to address the underlying mental illness, adverse events and family dysfunction that often precede gender dysphoria. The Vice President of the American College of Pediatricians, Dr. Jane Anderson, joins to tell us why her organization felt it important to develop and release this position statement. Dr. Anderson goes more in depth on the 60 or so studies they analyzed and what they researched. One of the main findings is that several countries are opting for psychological treatment rather than gender affirming care. Dr. Anderson explains why that is so significant. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
