FTC Sues Group Behind Child Transgender Surgery ‘Playbook’: What to Know
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued an influential medical organization, seeking to prevent it from allegedly misleading patients about the benefits of “gender-affirming care” for children.
In a complaint filed on June 17, the Trump administration and four states have asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas to issue an injunction against World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) affiliates.
They allege WPATH violated the FTC Act and similar state laws that protect consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices.
“Children, but especially their parents, must have complete and truthful information when making decisions to purchase medical services,” FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said in a statement.
The lawsuit added to mounting international scrutiny for WPATH, which has denied wrongdoing.
‘Standards of Care’
Transition doctors founded WPATH to promote the financial interests of the medical transitioning industry after losing support in 1979, according to the lawsuit.
WPATH developed “standards of care” (SOCs) to address insurance coverage losses. That led major health insurance companies to rely on the SOCs’ determination of medical necessity.
The standards limited procedures to adults, but that changed over the years.
The government’s complaint focuses on WPATH’s most recent SOCs, updated in 2022.
The latest WPATH standards removed age restrictions on life-altering gender surgeries for children, including penis and breast removal, with almost no exceptions.
Political pressure, instead of science, pushed WPATH to eliminate age restrictions, the government alleges.
WPATH misled the public by asserting that pediatric medical transition was the “standard of care” and medically necessary for gender dysphoria; that the effects of puberty blockers are reversible; that cross-sex hormones improve mental health; and that breast removal for children is safe, effective, and “consistently results in better health and quality of life,” the FTC alleges.
WPATH also allegedly omitted or minimized important information in its standards. The FTC argues that the group failed to meaningfully disclose the side effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, such as sexual dysfunction or the inability to breastfeed after a mastectomy.
The group’s standards say children with gender dysphoria are at a higher risk of suicide unless they undergo medical transition, characterizing these interventions as “lifesaving,” despite the absence of evidence that they reduce the risk of suicide, according to the government’s complaint.

Creating Nostalgia Today: What Will Your Children Remember?
The word “nostalgia” derives from two Greek words: “algos,” meaning “pain or grief,” and “nostos,” meaning “homecoming.” Traditionally, the term referred to an acute pain associated with homesickness. It was even included in some medical manuals and treated as an ailment that afflicted those far from home, such as sailors or soldiers. Over time, its meaning has shifted to refer primarily to a yearning for a prior time or a desire to “come home” to the halcyon days of the past.
The bittersweet caress of nostalgiacan come over a person suddenly, initiated by the simplest things: a half-forgotten melody, the smell of freshly cut grass, sunlight and long shadows on a familiar street, or an old book covered in dust. These triggers link us to formative memories. We wish we could return to them, but we witness those memories from behind an impenetrable glass wall.
For adults, some childhood experiences become heavily perfumed with nostalgia over time. Whether it was hunting with Dad, having picnics in the backyard with siblings, watching a favorite movie with cousins, or reading a book with Mom, over time, these experiences take on more meaning than they had in the moment.
The accessories of these memories—the old shotgun, the battered picnic basket, the faded book cover—remind us of the joys (and sorrows), the activities, the emotions, the places, and especially the people that formed us at our most impressionable ages, when all the world was new.
Nostalgia is more than just an interesting quirk of adulthood.Nostalgia has a formative effect as we age. The things we feel nostalgia over continue to shape who we are and write our story; they are an expression of that which is most precious to us.
In this way, nostalgia can still refine and reinforce our priorities and even our worldview in adulthood. Its irrational, visceral quality causes us to react instinctively to certain triggers, placing particular weight on them and what they signify, sometimes without conscious thought. (More)

Your Night Prayer
Learn More About Supper at Emmaus by Rembrandt
Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by Catholic Company
A Night Prayer
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
Quote of the Day
“Indeed the mystery of Christ runs the risk of being disbelieved precisely because it is so incredibly wonderful.” -St. Cyril of Alexandria
Today’s Meditation
“The words ‘In the name of the Father’ do not cause me to think of a Father millions of miles away, or a Father who dominates me with His immensity so that my heart is more frightened than softened, but of a Father close by and within me – a Father who is there, and, to use an expression of Father Faber, who finds my soul the home of His Son, who is waiting for me at the door of my heart, and of the Holy Spirit, who intervenes in the conduct of my life so as to impart to it its eternal merit, who does everything with and will not leave me for one instant alone.” —Raoul Plus S.J., p. 102

Examination of Conscience
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
- Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
- In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
- Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
- Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
- Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
- What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
- Thank God for all these moments!
- Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
- Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
- Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
- If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
- Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
Rest with God
Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars! — Psalm 148:3
