The medical advocacy group “Do No Harm” has announced an initiative seeking to protect minors from the harmful effects of “gender-affirming care,” warning that children subject to such practices can end up suffering lifelong from medical complications.

Richmond, Virginia-based Do No Harm’s “Protecting Minors from Gender Ideology” initiative aims to educate the public and policymakers regarding the “disastrous consequences of the unproven and often harmful practice known as ‘gender-affirming care,’” the group said in a Jan. 26 press release. “Gender-affirming care” is premised on the idea that children have the ability to know when any discomfort they feel with their body should be dealt with by taking “experimental drugs and surgeries” that alter their biological gender.
