But the authorship was not fully publicly known. The ASPS seemingly departed from its normal democratic processes to pass the statement, leaving many clinicians with more questions than answers.>The Feb. 3 statement deployed anti-trans rhetoric and misinformation about gender-affirming surgeries for patients under 19, including legal adults. The document stipulated that it was not a “clinical practice guideline,” but it still recommended surgeons “delay gender-related breast/chest, genital, and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old.”>What catalyzed this was not a sudden change in research but a sudden regime change. The age of 19 is, conveniently, the cut-off arbitrarily named in Donald Trump’s anti-trans health care executive order.>The same week that the ASPS statement came out was also the deadline for proposals to the Medical Society of the State of New York’s (MSSNY) governing body, which represents 30,000 licensed physicians, medical residents, and students across the state. Glasberg submitted a resolution endorsing the national document he likely helped create, co-signed by the New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons and the NYS Regional Society of Plastic Surgeons.
