This widely circulated recommendation, which directly affects access to care for certain adolescents, in our view calls for thorough scientific and ethical discussion. <\/p>\n<p>Trans Youth Trajectories &#8211; a platform coordinating care pathways for trans minors in the Paris region &#8211; together with healthcare professionals, researchers, and representatives of healthcare system users, wish to express their concerns regarding the empirical and methodological foundations of this position. We do not dispute the existence of uncertainties in the available data. However, we consider that the normative conclusion implying a systematic postponement of interventions is not sufficiently supported.  <\/p>\n<p>Our analysis highlights several major points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>an international politico-institutional context liable to indirectly influence professional positions and the organization of healthcare provision;<\/li>\n<li>inaccurate or incomplete interpretations of certain national guidelines and of the international bodies of evidence cited as an empirical foundation;<\/li>\n<li>the invocation of reports or reviews that do not include a direct evaluation of gender-affirming mastectomies in minors, or whose findings do not support the conclusion adopted;<\/li>\n<li>a confusion between certainty about the rarity of harms and the certain presence of harms;<\/li>\n<li>a problematic interpretation of surgical safety data that are nonetheless overall reassuring;<\/li>\n<li>the absence of explicit consideration of the direction and magnitude of observed effects when they suggest clinical improvements or high patient satisfaction;<\/li>\n<li>an application of the precautionary principle transformed into a generally restrictive rule, without sufficient room for individualized clinical assessment;<\/li>\n<li>an implicit shift in the evidentiary threshold required to intervene, without satisfactory justification or consistency with other comparable pediatric practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taken together, these elements suggest that the recommendation of systematic postponement rests less on direct empirical demonstration than on a particular interpretation of scientific uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>We call on learned societies and professional institutions to re-examine transparently the empirical foundations of their recommendations, to clearly distinguish uncertainty from the presence of risks, and to preserve the central role of individualized and multidisciplinary clinical assessment. In a field as sensitive as the health of transgender adolescents, methodological rigor and ethical proportionality are essential. <\/p>\n<p>We submit this letter in a spirit of scientific dialogue, professional responsibility, and the protection of quality of care. We remain available for a possible meeting to discuss these points. <\/p>\n<p>Please find in appendix the detailed critical analysis of the ASPS position statement.<\/p>\n<p>Please accept the
