ASPS建议,由于长期影响和伦理问题不确定,将未成年人的性别转型手术推迟到19岁。 ASPS recommends delaying gender transition surgeries for minors until age 19 due to uncertain long-term effects and ethical concerns.

美国塑料外科医生协会(ASPS)敦促将未成年人的性别过渡手术推迟到19岁,指出关于长期心理健康结果的证据不足,以及对发展脆弱青年不可逆转的程序的道德关切。 The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has urged delaying gender transition surgeries for minors until age 19, citing insufficient evidence on long-term mental health outcomes and ethical concerns over irreversible procedures in developmentally vulnerable youth. 该团体占美国董事会认证的整形外科医生的92%,强调目前有关福利和风险的数据确定性较低,并警告不要将此类手术称为“救生”手术。 The group, representing 92% of U.S. board-certified plastic surgeons, emphasized that current data on benefits and risks are of low certainty and cautioned against labeling such surgeries as "life-saving." 在不反对所有与性别有关的医疗保健的同时,《卫生与植物检疫协定》呼吁更加谨慎地采取不可逆转的干预措施,配合一些国家最近的政策变化,并得到卫生秘书罗伯特·肯尼迪和美国医学协会的支持。 While not opposing all gender-related medical care, the ASPS called for greater caution with irreversible interventions, aligning with recent policy shifts in several countries and support from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the American Medical Association. 这种立场与赞同对青年进行性别确认护理的主要医疗组织形成鲜明对比。 The stance contrasts with major medical organizations that endorse gender-affirming care for youth.
