The AMA: Gender affirming care is medically necessary and we do not agree with the ASPS statement.

The New York Times: “I think you mean to say gender affirming care is bad and the ASPS is right. No correction needed.”
The New York Times’s body of reporting on the American Medical Association’s stance on gender-related care for minors is accurate and factual, and remains so despite the recent statement from the Chair of the A.M.A. Board, which contradicts the A.M.A.’s own statements. www.nytco.com/press/fact-c...

The ASPS has come out against trans youth surgical care.

The AMA then endorsed the ASPS.

Meanwhile, WPATH's president-elect testified on behalf of a detransitioner who won their case.

And hospitals capitulate to Trump.

I write my indictment of the American medical system on trans youth care.
The Cowardice Of American Medicine On Trans Youth Care
After capitulation by hospitals across the country, the ASPS and AMA have both thrown trans kids under the bus on surgical care.

Joke's on you, I've been anticipating THS THDPSSSSPS ever since I found out all the human stars were being dubbed exclusively by a team of asps and vipers.

ASPS members regularly do over 8,000 breast reductions annually between cis girls (5325) and cis boys (2942) far more than done for trans youth. These can carry substantial risks of loss of function, sensitivity, and standard surgical risks. Yet, ASPS isn't advising against those.
The American society of plastic surgeons has no issue with the tend of thousands of minors getting nose jobs and other cosmetic surgery but they decided that they want to support bans on trans youth care and align with Trump's EO rather actual medical science

First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for youth
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons said doctors should delay gender-related surgeries until age 19, citing “insufficient evidence” that benefits outweigh risks.

Taking this a step farther, what if we popularize the idea of Account Service Providers (ASP) and advocating for laws where:

- accounts on the internet are separate from apps/platforms
- ASPs follow net neutrality
- ASPs must interop so accounts freely move between them (like phone numbers)
One thing I've been toying with, instead of talking about "PDS" and cryptic nonsense like that is:

Atmosphere Service Provider, like an ISP but for the social internet.

Part of the motivation is that "Sign in with Atmosphere" only works if people have seen that before.

Cefazolin Vs ASPs ((flu)cloxacillin) for MSSA bacteremia
Cefazolin is non-inferior (90d mortality)& less AKI than ASPs
A practice-changer RCT that must change the guidelines

1. We have received a tip that the ASPS anti-trans statement architect is trying to push a vote TOMORROW at the Medical Society of the State of New York to endorse ASPS's under-19 anti-trans medical statement.

There are real steps you can take NOW.

ASPS Anti-Trans Statement Architect Pushes Vote At New York's Largest Medical Society This Friday
The age of 19 is, conveniently, the cut-off arbitrarily named in Donald Trump’s anti-trans health care executive order.

🚨Massive: The AMA has issued a statement saying that they still fully support gender affirming care and don’t endorse the new ASPS position!

They say that their media misinterpreted their statement regarding surgeries and their position remains unchanged!

ASPS members are regularly doing boob jobs, nose jobs, and other cosmetic surgery on teens under 19. This is their own report! But they aren't discouraging that because it's a cash cow for their members.

1 in 5. 🙄

“Alberta Sheriff’s Police Service.”

ASPS. They called themselves ASPS. Not entirely inappropriate, though I was expecting it to be called Alberta ICE.

Get ready for the equally popular Alberta Pension Plan that will not require any consultation either!

Too bad they weren’t Asps
May 26, 2026 at 3:19 PM
Wrong! You stated in your headline that they endorse restrictions on surgeries now. That’s not what either of them said! In fact, ASPS made it clear that they oppose legal bans/restrictions!

3. The letter further clarified that the board does not endorse the controversial “position statement” from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) issued this past February. The document was created after meeting with Trump officials.

Who needs EAs when we have ASPS?‽!
Yup. Funny what Danielle Smith can find $ for when she wants to.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [ASPS cont]
Reed also notes ASPS standards continue allowing nose jobs, top surgery & other gendered procedures for cis minors. Also inexplicably that the incoming head of _WPATH_ testified FOR the plaintiff in a case likely to be copied and weaponized against care. 2/2

5. Statements from the organization—notably without any names attached—appeared in the New York Times and conservative publications like the National Review. Outlets reported the AMA “agreed” with the ASPS document, which was created behind closed doors.
March 27, 2026 at 2:06 AM
Where's your source that the AMA had changed anything about its stance or agreed with ASPS?
February 11, 2026 at 2:04 PM
LOL. "Asps. Very dangerous. You go first."

That's what Trump the coward just did to a bunch of people.
