Florida sues transgender groups for LGBT advocacy

In a bold move to protect vulnerable children from predatory transgender activism, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit against three major organizations—the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)—for their role in mutilating kids and deceiving families. Under the RICO Act and Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, the suit accuses these groups of racketeering by promoting dangerous gender interventions like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries as safe, reversible, and evidence-based, despite knowing the science was flimsy.

This courageous action builds on Governor Ron DeSantis’s 2023 ban on so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors, aiming to hold these ideological groomers accountable for profiting off children’s mental distress while undermining parental rights and natural biology.The explosion in pediatric gender dysphoria cases over the past decade isn’t organic—it’s the direct result of these organizations’ coordinated campaign to push transgender ideology through misleading guidelines and advertisements. What was once a rare condition has skyrocketed as they’ve capitalized on kids’ confusion, coercing parents with emotional blackmail like threats of suicide if they don’t consent to irreversible procedures such as double mastectomies on healthy girls or chemical castration for boys.

Behind closed doors, these groups admitted the evidence was weak and outcomes uncertain, yet they deceived insurers, regulators, and courts to normalize these barbaric practices, leading to lifelong physical and psychological harm for countless families. Conservatives have long sounded the alarm on how medical establishments have been captured by radical left-wing agendas, turning healthcare into a battlefield for cultural Marxism rather than a sanctuary for healing. As Uthmeier stated, these organizations knowingly withheld the full truth, insisting their recommendations were “settled science” while pushing profitable drugs and surgeries that destroy healthy bodies.

Specific allegations target WPATH’s guidelines promoting “social transition” as a gateway to mutilation, the Endocrine Society’s endorsement of unproven hormone therapies, and the AAP’s role in legitimizing these interventions despite lacking credible benefits. Florida seeks hefty fines, including $1 million per group, plus potential dissolution or license revocations to dismantle this corrupt enterprise.
