US EditionFlorida Sues Medical Groups Over Youth Gender-Affirming Care
Florida AG alleges medical groups coordinated misleading guidelines on youth gender-affirming care, violating consumer protection and racketeering laws, impacting patients, insurers, and courts.
- On Tuesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a lawsuit in St. Lucie County against WPATH, the Endocrine Society, and the AAP over youth gender-care guidance, alleging violations of Florida laws.
- The complaint alleges defendants repeatedly referenced one another to build a façade of legitimacy for their clinical guidance, selectively relying on the 2024 Cass Review while coordinating to convince patients, insurers, regulators and judges.
- Several leading medical organizations pushed back against the suit while the American Academy of Pediatrics declined to comment and the Endocrine Society did not immediately respond; out of 55 peer-reviewed studies, not a single one found negative outcomes.
- Court rulings could affect insurers and regulators as the case targets guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, with 26 states and one territory banning some treatments.
- The broader debate includes critiques of the ROGD hypothesis, which many researchers say is based on debunked claims like Lisa Littman's 2017 poster abstract and Pediatrics 2022 study .
