This was the response of Colorado being bitch slapped by Supreme Court.ROG62 » 04 Apr 2026, 9:30 am » wrote: ↑ 9.2.4 More recent international guidelines…
Since the publication of the York reviews, several new European guidelines have been issued in final or draft form, including those from the German AWMF, the French Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology, the Polish Sexological Association, theEuropean Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE), and the forthcoming final version of the French National Authority for Health (HAS) guidelines.43 These reviews have been developed amid growing international awareness of the weaknesses of WPATH’s SOC-8 and the outdated nature of the Endocrine Society’s guidelines reflecting the need to have defensible, localized, up-to-date guidelines that set the standards of care for youth with GD.
Unfortunately, these recently-published (or as yet to be finalized) guidelines suffer fromthe same or similar methodological weaknesses that have rendered the WPATH and theEndocrine Society’s guidelines not trustworthy and not recommended forimplementation. All suffer from non-evidence-based approaches to guidelinedevelopment and exhibit one or more of the following problems: (1) guidelinedevelopment groups are composed of individuals with unmanaged conflicts of interestrelating to the provision of pediatric gender transition services; (2) the guideline takes ana priori WPATH-aligned position that medicalized pathway of hormones (and surgery) isthe recommended treatment approach;44 (3) the recommendations are not based onrigorously-conducted systematic reviews of evidence;45 (4) individual studies that drivetreatment recommendations are not appraised for quality, and their conclusions areaccepted at face value; (5) the recommendations are not graded for strength, resultingin ambiguity in clinical decision-making.

Following a March 31, 2026, U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down Colorado's 2019 ban on "conversion therapy" for minors, Colorado lawmakers are advancing legislation designed to allow lawsuits against practitioners of these methods.
The New York TimesThe New York Times +1Supreme Court Ruling: The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in Chiles v. Salazar that Colorado's ban on conversion therapy, which aimed to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity, violated the free speech rights of licensed Christian therapists.
New Legal Actions: In response, Colorado House Democrats moved forward with HB26-1322 (as of early April 2026), which would allow survivors of conversion therapy to sue licensed mental health professionals at any time, removing the current two-year statute of limitations.
Legislation Status: The bill passed the Colorado House on a 40-23 vote, with supporters stating it protects youth from harmful, discredited practices, while opponents labeled it a "slap in the face" to the Supreme Court ruling.
The Conflict: The case centered on Kaley Chiles, a Christian counselor, who argued the 2019 law prevented her from providing faith-based counseling to clients seeking to align their behaviors with their biological sex. The state argued that such counseling is a harmful, medically discredited practice that falls under professional regulation.
