The flights are conducted as part of scheduled training, which allows air crews to participate precise timing, coordination, and maintenance recovery under real-world conditions.

So what did they say?

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

Yeah, I mean, the dam is certainly breaking Georgia.

The ASPS, which is the largest association of plastic surgeons in the world, they said that available evidence does not support trans surgeries for gender-confused kids.

And they also said that there's insufficient evidence for putting kids on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

Now, this is a very big deal.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

Basically, every medical group or association has been in support of these surgeries for minors, and that's despite all the mounting evidence that these can be harmful and irreversible.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

So this statement broke the mold.

Morning Wire

I was able to speak to Dr. Richard Bosshart about this reversal.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

He's a senior fellow at Do No Harm, and he's been a member of the ASPS for decades.

He said the ASPS actually told members back in 2024 that they could not endorse gender-affirming care for minors based on new evidence.

Now, at the time, that was really out of step with the establishment, so they were ahead of the curve, relatively speaking.

And following the ASPS, we have the AMA, which wields major influence as the nation's largest medical association.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

They reversed course, too.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

The AMA told National Review that it agrees with the ASPS that, quote, surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.

Morning Wire
Medicine Rebuffs Gender Transitions & Troubled Tehran Talks | 2.5.26

Now, some hedging there, but this is a huge shift for the AMA, which has been rabidly in favor of these procedures for minors.

Morning Wire

So, for example, the AMA's president said just last year that it's not for him or anyone else to question the so-called experts on trans care.
