It is clear that there is no consensus on “gender-affirming” care for minors within the endocrinologist community. In a recent letter in the Wall Street Journal, doctors from nine countries pleaded with the Endocrine Society to keep its recommendations on the issue in line with available evidence.

Given the urgency of this pressing topic, we are eager to hear from endocrinologists and other healthcare professionals.
