A group called Do No Harm is calling for an end to gender-affirming care for minors in the U. S., claiming these treatments are harmful and irreversible. Their report challenges the belief that such care improves mental health and reduces suicides.
• Dr. Kurt Miceli, the medical director at Do No Harm, argues that the evidence supporting gender-affirming care is weak and that the risks are very high, including psychological and physical harm.
• Miceli states that treatments can lead to regret, mental health issues, infertility, sexual dysfunction, and other serious health problems.
• While some argue that puberty blockers and hormone therapy help minors with gender dysphoria, Miceli insists that these practices are dangerous and unproven.
• Various U. S. states are legislating against gender-affirming care for minors, and a federal bill has been passed to stop federal funding for these treatments.
• Data from 2019 to 2023 shows that nearly 14,000 minors underwent some form of medical transition, with over 5,700 undergoing surgery.
• A review by the U. S. Health and Human Services in May 2025 supports Do No Harm’s findings, stating that the risks of these treatments cannot be ignored.
• The American Principles Project shares similar concerns, claiming that children are being exploited for profit through gender-affirming care.
The campaign against gender-affirming care for minors is gaining momentum, with calls for stricter regulations and an end to these medical practices viewed as experimental and harmful.
