The physicians' groups pretty uniformly oppose anything that cuts into their autonomy (to the detriment of the American healthcare system more often than not), including the trans laws.

Are they suing to get rid of them? I never hear about physicians' groups doing anything about these laws or abortion bans. Maybe they are and the press isn’t covering it. If I were a doctor, I'd be really pissed off. State inserting itself into my profession and limiting my ability to practice medicine.

It seems to me there has been wide and very vocal opposition among the medical community regarding all the new draconian laws restricting/outlawing abortion, reproductive care generally as well as transgender care sweeping the nation.

The problem is history. We only need to look back to the enthusiastic use of lobotomy to treat any kind of mental illness and it's evil twin Eugenics. Here in NC we had laws on the books through the 1970s to sterilize folks deemed useless to society.
