The Trump administration has celebrated a new American Society of Plastic Surgeons position statement recommending that surgeons delay gender-related breast/chest, genital and facial procedures until a patient is at least 19. The statement arrives as state and federal actions intensify scrutiny of gender-affirming care for minors, even as other major medical groups maintain their existing, more individualized approaches.
