AAP Conference and the Lack of Evidence-Based Approach

At the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) conference, it was observed that the presentations and discussions mainly focused on gender woo rather than evidence-based approaches. The speakers relied on sociological data about changing gender identities rather than scientific evidence. This lack of objective and data-driven mindset reflects the reluctance to confront the harms and negative outcomes related to gender-affirming care. Moreover, it was noted that the AAP primarily addressed gender, rather than sexual orientation, and did not present any evidence-based research that differentiated between the two. The absence of a comprehensive approach to gender medicine and the reliance on ideological factors hinder progress towards evidence-based care.
