Pushed by Queer Theory saturated Gender Activists. Aided and abetted by far too many in the medical community.
In the world of "gender-affirming" medicine, there appears to be nothing that is off-limits. Gender surgeons will happily chop the healthy breasts off teenage girls, fashion cavities out of amputated penises, and sew vaginas shut while adding appendages constructed with the skin and flesh of a patient's forearm. But the list doesn't end there. Along with facial feminization surgery and trachea shaving, surgeons also offer shoulder width reduction.
Constantly U.S. citizens are told from the highest levels of Government and Professional Organizations that Gender Affirming Standards of Care are evidenced based. U.S. Assistant Secretary of Heath, Rachel Levine, a trans-woman, has often said as much.
But Moti Gorin, PhD, MBE, and associate professor of philosophy at Colorado State University says hold on….some of the most progressive societies in Europe, Sweden, Finland, and Great Britain, are pulling away from Gender Affirming Standards of Care.

U.S. physicians treating an adolescent patient suffering from gender dysphoria are guided by professional organizations, such as the Endocrine Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), to employ gender-affirming care, which can involve the prescription of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgery. These organizations’ guidelines are not based on systematic reviews of the benefits of these treatments. Although some U.S. states have moved to ban or restrict youth access to gender affirming care, physicians in most states follow these organizations’ guidelines. In its most recent guidance document, WPATH reported that it is “not possible” to conduct a systematic review of adolescent care due to the overall low number of studies and the “few outcome studies that follow youth into adulthood.” Nevertheless, the title of WPATH’s document is called “Standards of Care for Transgender and Gender-Diverse People” and its recommendations for the treatment of minors have been described as “evidence-based” by U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health, Rachel Levine.
Meanwhile, physicians treating children and adolescents with gender dysphoria in Sweden, which did conduct a systematic review, are told by their National Board of Health and Welfare that “the risks of puberty suppressing treatment with GnRH-analogues and gender-affirming hormonal treatment currently outweigh the possible benefits, and . . . the treatments should be offered only in exceptional cases.” It recommends mental health support and exploratory psychological care as the first line of treatment for gender dysphoria in youth.

His freshmen year at Seattle Academy, the student finished 72nd place in the boys’ division. This year [the student] finished first place competing in the girls’ division.
"Allowing [the student] to compete against biological girls deprives other girls' teams of the chance to compete at state [which is a big deal]," a coach in the student's conference told Libs of TikTok. "If [she] competed in the boys' division, [she] would place 56th on the boys' team."
"[The student] is larger than any of the girls, and shamelessly takes first place on the podium," another father told the outlet. "Now my daughter is competing against a male for scholarships. And we can't even say anything. You can't even approach it in a nice way without being labeled a hateful bigot. You will get threats against you."

Last year the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) changed its participation standards. Previously adopted standards followed the International Olympic Committee’s position. Transgender people were allowed to participate as long as they had undergone surgery and had a minimum of two years of cross-sex hormone treatments.
As of last year the WIAA now says “athletes will participate in programs consistent with their gender identity or the gender most consistently expressed.”
