Following the Evidence: Dr. Scot Glasberg on the ASPS Stand Against Gender Surgery for Children & Adolescents

Few voices carry more weight on this issue than Dr. Scot Glasberg, a world-renowned plastic surgeon and past president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He sits down with host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz to tackle one of modern medicine’s most contentious and ideologically charged debates: the use of hormones and surgery on children and adolescents struggling with gender confusion. Earlier this year, Dr. Glasberg made waves by leading the ASPS to release a landmark position statement calling on the medical community to cease performing gender affirming surgery on anyone under 19, an evidence-based stance that took considerable courage and reverberated throughout healthcare.
