The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that youth who identify as transgender and gender diverse have access to comprehensive, gender-affirming, and developmentally appropriate health care that is provided in a safe and inclusive clinical space. This includes providing family-based therapy and support to meet the needs of parents, caregivers, and siblings of youth who identify as transgender. [Supported by the DSM]
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) also recommends developmentally appropriate, evidence-based care provided by medical and mental health experts in partnership with youth, parents, and caregivers.

..."The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends doctors provide children with “comprehensive gender-affirming and developmentally appropriate health care.”
Ben Bradshaw, an attorney with O’Melveny & Myers LLP who is representing the four families, says the plaintiffs will argue the law is unconstitutional.
“The health care ban singles out transgender minors and denies them essential medical care,” Bradshaw said in a press release. “It further infringes on the fundamental right of parents to make medical decisions in the best interests of their children. These outcomes cannot be squared with the Constitution.”
Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr have yet to respond to the lawsuit, but the state is expected to defend the law in court."
