APA Statement on Access to Treatment for Gender Diverse People APA supports access to psychological care and evidence-based treatment for transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary children, teens and adults.

Check out the American Psychological Association's brief comments on the HHS report on gender affirming care: updates.apaservices.org/statement-on...

The HHS report has no authors listed and according to folks at the APA, has incorrect citations and dubious scientific rigor and integrity. #APA

My very first published paper was a genetic test to accurately identify different species of bumblebees which are almost morphologically identical for conservation purposes. "If it looks the same it's the same for all meaningful purposes" is nonsensical if you know *anything* about biology.
