The American Medical Association's new president Dr. Bobby Mukkamala said the ruling was "harmful government interference."
The American Medical Association (AMA), the largest medical association in the United States, is coming out against the Supreme Courts ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, arguing that irreversible and damaging transgender procedures for minors are necessary treatments.
“The American Medical Association is disappointed in today’s decision that opens the door to further intrusion into patient care and harmful government interference into the practice of medicine,” AMA President Dr. Bobby Mukkamala said in a statement after the ruling came down.
The court ruled on Wednesday that Tennessee’s ban on controversial transgender “care” for minors is constitutional, noting the law doesn’t violate the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
Mukkamala became president of the AMA earlier this month, and is continuing the organization’s strong support for transgender drugs and procedures on minors.
“All patients deserve access to high-quality, evidence-based medical care. Decisions about medical treatment must be made through a shared decision-making process between the patient and their physician, based on individual patient needs and in accordance with medical evidence and the standards of good medical practice,” Mukkamala claimed.
“The AMA opposes efforts by the government to insert itself into the patient-physician relationship and interfere in clinical decision-making with no regard for the clinical standards of care,” he added.
The AMA — which is the largest medical association in the United States and has significant influence in shaping policy and common medical practices — has been an advocate for transgender procedures on minors for years.
For example, the AMA “strongly” supported Dr. Rachel Levine’s nomination as Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the Biden era. Notably, Levine is a proponent of all types of so-called gender-affirming care procedures...

“Since “transgenderism” is a mental disorder, the AMA, who deals with physical maladies, brings no special expertise to the question of whether surgery is to the proper treatment”
Lots of money in Dickectomies.
Fair enough. Still, over the years I've asked my doctors for solid proof of the causes. They usually ignore my request or quote some study that they read from some medical journal, or even refer me to the Fedgov nutrition pyramid which has been totally changed again just recently.
Think: Eggs contribute to a nutritious breakfast; Whole eggs will kill you; Egg whites are okay; Egg yolks is the killer...
As recent as a month or so back...whole eggs are okay.
Don't get me started on all the predictions/studies of doom in the 70's thru the 80's. Coming Ice Age, Ozone loss, Mass starvation due to over-population, Limited oil and gasoline, Nature versus nurture claiming boys and girls are the same, Man-made Global warming. I could go on, but sure you get my drift.
There have been far too many claims about foods causing disease or health or whatever. Most of it is worth tuning out. I understand your frustration about contradictory advice and opinions.
THE POST OF THE THREAD! Thank you for the LOL.
Trans is the twenty first century lobotomy. A passing fad that will leave thousands of ruined lives. Where are the lawsuits that will stop this?
Thank you, Sir.
AMA = American Moloch Association.
The same AMA that recommended Covid shots and went against the use of ivermectin-
It is purely about the business greed. It is the new marketing gimmick like Pet Rocks.
It's already happening. I read weekly someone is trying to de-trans for various reasons.
Here is why I think transgender is bunk: It is mostly the way the hip and informed about LBGTXYZ and see the son playing with his sister's dolls or daughter playing with his trucks or little army toys. So...it's time to change his or her gender with drugs and surgery because we've been told that, and we're cool and watch the View and Late Night idiots and see it in Gay parades on the streets, with all their lewd behavior and pride and blah, blah, blah.
I have raised a son and a daughter and watched them play with each others toys and never thought for a moment they were the wrong gender. Once past puberty, they both dated and married members of the opposite sex, and both have children who are "normal" and now dating. Hell! I played with MY sister's stuff, as she did with mine. So what? We were kids!
This mutilation of children competes with my illegal-alien position. If forced, I would choose our children first.
Doctors, teachers, corporate boards of directors, parents in some cases, judges, politicians, the lot.
Any civilization that lets this stand at all should be destroyed.
Absolutely disgusting and abhorrent! AMA is an abysmal wreck!
Looks like the next thing they’re going to do is publish an apology to the family of Doktor Josef Mengele and the Nazi regime in Germany.
There. Fixed it.
The AMA seems to represent the lefty physicians.
Where was the AMA to speak up in defense of doctors and their relationship with their patients during the covid hysteria? And biology undergraduate knew this miasma crap was from the middle ages. And that sunlight kills coronavirus. Hell, I was pointed at an episode of the Dead Zone by someone who was astonishes that it predicted the danger of a coronavirus plague was that people weren’t masking, but they completely missed that the episode revealed the miracule cure from the Chinese was ... quinine. “But that’s for malaria” said an idiot on the show.
No place in Hell is harsh enough for these people.
There needs to be a speical circle in Hell for them.
