Every major medical association in the United States—representing over 1.3 million doctors—opposes bans on gender-affirming care and supports such care as evidence-based and medically necessary.

Question

Accepted Answer

The American Medical Association (1.3 million members), American Academy of Pediatrics (67,000 pediatricians), Endocrine Society, American Psychological Association, and American Psychiatric Association all support gender-affirming care as evidence-based treatment. In November 2025, AMA and AAP issued a joint statement rejecting claims their approach is "malpractice" and calling such accusations politically motivated misrepresentations of medical science. This creates tension: the DOJ is investigating as healthcare fraud what the entire medical establishment considers standard of care.
