The Trump administration and several states on June 17 sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), a global physician group that promotes child transgender surgeries and hormonal treatments to children.
In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the states said the organization’s guidance on gender transition surgeries, which does not mention any minimum ages, was not based on medical evidence.
