Doctors and other medical professionals are denouncing a leading association of pediatricians for allegedly refusing to listen to dissenting voices among rank-and-file members who oppose “gender-affirming care” for minors.

A pediatrician using the pseudonym Dr. Grace Clark out of fear of retaliation told The Epoch Times that years ago, when she first learned puberty blockers were used to treat children, she was intrigued. Like other doctors, she said, she assumed a treatment so new and radically different must be based on solid medical research and evidence.
