The report is backed by a group of nine independent healthcare professionals.
When it comes to the issue of gender dysphoria, some medical professionals and organizations will tell you that medications and surgeries are the answer.
But a new report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says otherwise.
"The report was of course dealing with the transgender or rather with gender dysphoria and adolescence in children," said Admiral Brian Christine, MD, Assistant Secretary of Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, on the Washington Watch program.
"We wrote this original report, and then we reached out to a group of nine scientists, physicians, researchers, to give their opinion on this report and what they overwhelmingly agree with is that treating these vulnerable children, children with gender dysphoria, treating them with hormones, injections, surgeries that remove body parts and even mutilate these children, this all does not have sound science backing it up."
Critics of the 'medications and surgeries' method have long argued that mental health treatments are the better option. Dr Christine agreed.
"A much better way to treat these children would be with compassionate mental health and with psychiatric care," said Christine.
Christine credited President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr., saying this information runs counter to the policies of President Joe Biden and former Assistant Secretary for Health of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Richard Levine.
Richard identifies as a woman and goes by the name Rachel.
In a press release about its peer-reviewed report, HHS identified the nine scientists and said that the "authors were drawn from disciplines and professional backgrounds spanning medicine, bioethics, psychology, and philosophy."
