Uffmeyer said the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society promoted recommendations as established science while privately acknowledging uncertainty.

“This is Attorney General James uffmeyer. Today, I’m announcing that we are taking legal action against several powerful medical organizations, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Endocrine Society,” Uffmeyer said.

“We believe these organizations failed to disclose the risks, limits and evidence. When promoting so called gender affirming care for children, for years, these groups insisted the recommendations were settled science, but behind closed doors, they knew the evidence was weak.”

Uffmeyer said the organizations did not fully inform parents of the consequences and uncertainties associated with medical interventions for minors.

“They knew the outcomes uncertain and the risks very real, parents were not told the full story,” he said.

He described what some families were told during the decision-making process.

“In fact, some parents were told that if they didn’t put their kids through permanent life altering sick procedures like double mastectomies and castration, that their child would commit suicide. Not only is that unethical and dangerous medicine, but it is against the law,” Uffmeyer said.

According to Uffmeyer, the actions of the organizations caused long-term harm.

“Children were irrevocably harmed because truth was replaced with political activism,” he said.

He added that groups issuing medical recommendations have an obligation to be transparent.

“When organizations make medical claims, they have a duty to be honest. When they intentionally mislead families their members and the medical profession, we hold them accountable,” he said.

Uffmeyer said Florida will continue to prioritize evidence-based policy and parental rights.

“Florida will always follow the evidence protect children and defend parents’ rights to make informed decisions. Thank you,” he said.
