A coalition of 20 attorneys general from red states just dropped a bombshell letter to the American Medical Association (AMA), demanding they fully disavow puberty blockers for minors. They’re calling out the AMA’s flip-flop: the group recently backpedaled on endorsing sex change surgeries for kids but still clings to approving these powerful drugs that halt natural puberty, often as a gateway to irreversible transitions. The AGs argue this stance is medically inconsistent and ignores mounting evidence of harm—like bone density loss, infertility risks, and skyrocketing mental health issues post-treatment—backed by studies from Europe (e.g., the UK’s Cass Review) that led countries like Sweden and Finland to restrict these interventions.
This isn’t just a medical turf war; it’s a frontline battle in the cultural assault on parental rights and biological reality, with the AMA acting as a captured institution beholden to activist lobbies over science. The pressure tactic mirrors successful pushes against Big Tech censorship and corporate ESG agendas, signaling that state AGs are wielding their authority like a precision rifle against institutional overreach. For the 2A community, the parallels are stark: just as gun-grabbers at the CDC and AMA have twisted public health narratives to demonize firearms—claiming AR-15s are public health epidemics while ignoring defensive gun uses—this exposé reveals their playbook. When elite medical orgs prioritize ideology over evidence, it erodes trust in all expert institutions, including those pushing gun violence as a pretext for confiscation.
The implications? A win here could cascade, forcing the AMA to confront its biases across issues, weakening their moral authority to meddle in 2A debates. Red-state AGs are proving that coordinated, fact-based pushback works—much like multi-state lawsuits have stalled ATF pistol brace rules and bump stock bans. 2A patriots should cheer this on, amplify it, and prepare: if they can be held accountable on kids’ bodies, the slippery slope to disarming adults gets steeper. Stay vigilant; the right to self-defense starts with defending truth.
