A BMJ journal, Archives of Disease in Childhood, published an article on 18 September 2026 on intellectual conflicts of interest in clinical guidelines for what the paper calls “gender-affirming care” — puberty blockers and opposite-sex hormones for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria. The author is Dr. Richard Santen of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, a past president of the Endocrine Society. The paper addresses how a weak evidence base in those guidelines is filled by conflicted “expert opinion.”

Sep 17, 2026 · Federal Action
The U.S. Department of Justice told the Supreme Court that parents can sue when a state cuts them out of a child’s medical decisions. In a merits-stage friend-of-the-court brief in International Partners for Ethical Care v. Ferguson (No. 25-840), DOJ backs parents challenging a Washington shelter law. That law says when a runaway minor seeks so-called “gender-affirming treatment,” the state must offer to refer the child for behavioral health services if the child asks — even without parental consent.
