Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador – along with attorneys general and other officials from 20 U.S. states, including South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley – has accused the American Academy of Pediatrics of possible “violations of state consumer protection statutes” over its standards and recommendations for gender dysphoria care for children.
In a letter sent by Labrador on Tuesday, the attorneys general requested information detailing the academy’s evidence for its current recommendations for puberty blockers for gender dysphoria-diagnosed youth.
“Most concerning, AAP claims that the use of puberty blockers on children is safe and reversible,” Labrador’s office said in a press release . “This assertion is not grounded in evidence and therefore may run afoul of consumer protection laws in most states.”
