The WPATH files offer a disturbing look into the group’s decision-making process for “gender-affirming” care.
In private, leaders of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) express concerns indistinguishable from those of their most ardent critics. This is the conclusion that one reaches when reading the WPATH files, leaked from the group’s internal forums and communications. In them, members drop the euphemisms and doublespeak that characterize their public-facing comments in exchange for frank discussions about how to navigate the challenges and complications arising from their gender-based medical interventions.
