What recent changes have occurred regarding gender transitions for minors?
The American Medical Association, once a staunch supporter of gender procedures for minors, reverses course on the issue.
It's the old dominoes falling analogy where, you know, the first domino drops and pretty soon the entire line of dominoes is falling.
Has the dam now fully broken on medically transitioning kids?
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Thursday, February 5th, and this is Morning Wire.

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know. This episode is sponsored by BrickHouse Nutrition. You've probably heard about those weight loss injections that everyone's been talking about, and for good reason. The results can be pretty incredible. They work by helping regulate blood sugar and keeping your appetite in check. But here's the thing. Not everyone wants to deal with weekly injections, especially when you start hearing about some of the side effects that can come with them. That's where Lean comes in. It's a weight loss supplement developed by doctors, and people are seeing some really impressive results. The ingredients in Lean are backed by research showing that they can help lower blood sugar, turn stored fat into energy, and reduce those constant cravings that make dieting so hard.
This stuff is no joke. I am one of those people that eats sometimes a lot when I'm stressed. But once Lean came into the picture, I was able to rein in my cravings.

Here with more is Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo. So Amanda, just in the past week, we saw a noticeable shift from the medical establishment. It started with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and then later with the American Medical Association changing their stance on medical transition for minors.
So what did they say? 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. Now, this is a very big deal. 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. So this statement broke the mold. I was able to speak to Dr. Richard Bosshart about this reversal. 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. Here's Boss Hart.
I just hope they take a stronger stance. I think this is great, the position statement, but I think it doesn't go far enough because surgery is the last step.
How are federal immigration policies shifting in Minneapolis?
They have really taken a lot of trouble to provide for a reasoned position that is based on medical evidence. And on that basis alone, I'm very, very happy with that. I just hope they take an even stronger stance and totally denunciate gender-affirming care once and for all.
And following the ASPS, we have the AMA, which wields major influence as the nation's largest medical association.
