Biological Integrity: Policymaker Resources

Biological Integrity, who is affiliated with the American College of Pediatricians, opposes gender-affirming medical interventions for minors, approaching the topic from a biological and evidence-based medical perspective. Due to its breadth of resources for various audiences, Biological Integrity is a hub for those seeking research, legal, and policy materials related to pediatric gender medicine. Their website offers tailored resources for multiple audiences including parents, teens, physicians, schools, and policymakers.

Biological Integrity’s Policymaker Resources page offers a well-organized collection of primary source documents for lawmakers, legal professionals, and advocates. Readers will find downloadable factsheets on topics like the risks of puberty blockers, the mental health of gender-incongruent youth, and international legislative trends, alongside a legislation map tracking state-level policy activity across the U.S. The resources also include amicus briefs filed in significant cases as well as public comments submitted to the FDA and FTC. The international trends section includes primary documents from Finland, Sweden, Australia, and the UK, making it a valuable resource for anyone wanting to understand how other countries have approached (and in many cases, reversed) course on pediatric gender medicine.
