The most authoritative Medical Society is taking a stand against the “harmful” gender therapy, stating that it “threatens real, biological sex” by replacing it with “an inconsistent perception of gender.”

Progress is also being made in Argentina.

After the government banned the dangerous practices of (pseudo)gender-affirming therapy last February, the Academia Nacional de Medicina of Buenos Aires has finally taken a position.

The main and oldest medical academy in Argentina has released a statement firmly opposing medical and surgical treatments for gender transition in minors under 18.

 

The Academia Nacional de Medicina against gender treatments

The institution officially declared that it “does not endorse any treatment” aimed at modifying biological sex in children and adolescents, including hormone therapies, puberty blockers, or surgical procedures.

Argentine physicians justified their stance on ethical and scientific grounds, speaking explicitly of the “deleterious consequences” of these treatments on physical health, “often irreversible,” as well as psychological well-being.

The Academy also stated that, contrary to what gender studies claim, there are no “verified scientific truths”, noting that affirmative medicine has been abolished in several Western countries where it was once promoted.

These include Finland, Sweden, Norway, England, the Netherlands, and several U.S. states.

 

“Sex is real, gender is incoherent perception”

However, the strongest and most unexpected statement is yet to come.

These practices, the statement continues, “constitute an insubstantial promise that endangers real sex, the biological one, attempting to replace it with an incoherent sociological and voluntaristic perception of gender.”

A clear declaration that radically denies the actual existence of ‘gender’.

The alternative proposed for minors affected by gender dysphoria is a holistic and comprehensive approach, not strictly medical. Families must be involved first and foremost, along with “mental health services.”

 

Scientific institutions against gender therapy

The Academia Nacional de Medicina is only the latest in a long list of scientific societies to take such a position.

Since 2023, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) has begun favoring psychological intervention over hormonal and surgical treatments due to the limited evidence.

Evidence already highlighted in 2024 even by the WHO, and in 2021 by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which acknowledged the lack of “updated, evidence-based guidelines for the care of transgender children, particularly regarding the benefits and risks of puberty suppression, medical affirmation through hormone therapy, and surgical affirmation.”

In 2024, the UK National Health Service (NHS) decided to ban puberty blockers for children suffering from gender dysphoria, while the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) denied their clinical effectiveness.

In Finland, the Council for Choices in Health Care has since 2020 adopted psychotherapeutic treatment for these young people, heavily restricting puberty suppression and banning surgical procedures.

The European Confederation of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry published a statement in 2024 on gender dysphoria, urging healthcare providers to “not promote experimental and unnecessarily invasive treatments with unproven psychosocial effects,” reiterating “the low reliability and instability of a gender dysphoria diagnosis.”

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) in 2018 concluded that:

• Gender dysphoria is not an innate trait;
• 80–95% of children with gender dysphoria will spontaneously accept the reality of their biological sex by late adolescence;
• Gender-affirming therapy is a form of sterilization that violates the true will of minors, who are cognitively unable to give informed consent;
