No need to convince me of the need. Unfortunately, the American College of Pediatricians does not have the bandwidth to do this. However, there is another recently formed group focused solely on this issue that may attempt to draft alternative SOCs. Mike Laidlaw and Will Malone are active within it, I am less so. Let me find out if the group is "out" yet.

As you well know, WPATH has one, which is going to cause problems for litigants who have been harmed by gender ideology. The following court document is provided for your review to show the need for such a document.
