    Older teens who wish to pursue transition can be given estrogen or testosterone in order to develop sex characteristics in line with their gender identity, according to the standards of care from medical organizations such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.

    And our constituents, in majority, believe that," said Sabi Kumar, a Republican representative in Tennessee who has sponsored several bills considered anti-trans, including the state’s recent ban on gender-affirming care.

    After the Tennessee legislature passed its ban on gender-affirming care, several clinics abruptly stopped offering medical treatments for their trans patients, fearing repercussions once the law came into effect.

    “It challenges the conceptualization of male-to-female (MTF) trans as normal, ordinary women who happen to have been born in the wrong body,” Blanchard told the Daily Caller, a conservative news site, earlier this year.

    It is cited repeatedly in documents that conservative lobby groups have supplied to Republican lawmakers and their names have been invoked in legislative hearings in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Nebraska and Washington, D.C.

    Not to be confused with the much larger American Academy of Pediatrics, the ACP is a conservative lobby group that supplies talking points to Republican lawmakers on medical issues related to abortion and transgender care.
