FTC and States File Lawsuit Against Transgender Health Organization

The Federal Trade Commission, alongside four states, has initiated legal action against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The lawsuit alleges that WPATH made deceptive claims regarding gender-affirming care for minors and that its members financially benefited from these claims. This move aligns with the current administration's broader efforts to restrict gender-affirming care for minors, while WPATH maintains its guidelines promote individualized patient care.
