France Backs Away from Endorsing Youth Gender Transitions—for Now
21st July 2025
The French high authority for health, which has been working on transgender issues since 2022, has published its recommendations, which exclude minors—a victory for those who work tirelessly to protect children from transgender madness.
Three years ago, the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS), an independent public authority responsible for advising the state on health issues based on scientific recommendations, launched a working group on the “medical transition pathway for transgender people.” There was every reason for concern, as Le Figaro had pointed out that the group in question was overwhelmingly composed of trans people, members of trans activist associations, or health professionals closely aligned with the trans lobby, to the exclusion of other organisations that could have provided a different and more measured perspective.
On Friday, July 18th, the HSA published a document outlining its initial recommendations for adults—while excluding minors “due to a lack of consensus.”
No matter how bad we have it in the U.S., other countries have it worse.
