The Federal Trade Commission’s portal for Request for Public Comment regarding “Gender-Affirming Care” for minors closes on Friday, September 26, 2025.
Wow, reading the comments is disturbing. It’s science, it’s care, I care about the trans community. If you did wouldn’t you look just a couple more searches. Like wow, robot answers.
After seeing how Trump is using the FTC to squelch free speech with respect to the Charlie Kirk murder, I don't trust the FTC to do the right thing, on any issue. They are Trump's tool. He will use them to try to become a dictator. I'd rather live in a trans world with democracy than a trans free world under a dictator.
I submitted my comment. Thank you so much to everyone who is submitting comments and for PITT for providing the articles and links so that I knew about this opportunity. Please spread the word and ask your friends and family to comment, too! There is strength in numbers.
GAC also mean social transition right? And do they won’t those too?
Because it is! I’m filling it out and I’m still shocked. Living the horror of it all again. All my answers are No, No nobody talked to me about anything. And EVERY TIME someone confirm my child the separated us. A 14 year old kid on the spectrum! I was given nothing, NOTHING no one even gave support info to me. Only told the dead daughter line.
I lived the horror, knew it, knew something was so wrong and never affirmed my child because it’s obvious something was so off. But filling out this paperwork was idk so much. This is so wrong how do people not see this.
Being told the dead daughter line is exactly what the FTC is looking for. That is manipulation and deception. You want to write from your point of view, how what was said to you and your child shaped her understanding of what would happen if she didn’t transition. Copied from comment above.
“If you want assistance or to submit confidentially please reach out to
We are submitting a report documenting the voices of parents and can add your story in a confidential manner. We have a limited window left for submissions.
Please do not hesitate to reach out. Takes about 1 hour over zoom.”
When you email ask them to give you a postal address to mail the documents. Normally, you wont hear back unless the FTC wants to pursue a complaint and wants to follow up with the person who submitted the complaint.
Holly crap, I’m going through stuff and this is so incriminating to see all over again! What they actually did ever give me. It’s all BS. But in official documents.
Is there a character limit for submissions? Should it be limited merely to personal experience, or is it helpful to frame our story in how and why this is a gross failure to society at large?
It doesn’t have to be personal experience alone. For example, you can submit false claims advertised online by plan parenthood, online hormone peddlers or doctors. I am not sure if there’s a character limit but it’s best to have substance rather than volume.
Please note that this does not only apply to minors. Detransitioners and parents of kids who were not minors can also send Comments or a private message.
Sent above to soon. I’d like to name specific names—the psychologist who told me about the benefits and “low risk” of testosterone, despite that being outside of his scope of practice, not being a physician. The endocrinologist who offered hormones during the first appointment, etc. But I do not want my family’s name attached to that.
If your story fits the guidelines of what the FTC wants and it’s actionable, it would be good for the FTC to have a way to contact you, or they may not be able to act on it. If you want to submit it confidentially, the FTC is providing an option for confidential comments so, if you’d like to go that route, DO NOT submit through Regulations.gov. If you need to be confidential use the email. Say that you need to stay confidential and the reasons why. To submit an anonymous comment email ElectronicFilings@ftc.gov along with a request for confidential treatment. The communication should reference the docket number, FTC-2025-0264. It is best to leave contact information so the FTC can follow up.
Can someone explain the terms on which anonymity is granted by the FTC? The call for submissions cites some regulations that govern such determinations, but can someone explain what those mean in practical terms?
I want anonymity because my "qualifier" is still captured by the cult.

Thank you! I sent in a message and will monitor the site to see if it gets posted. I have plenty to say, and I hope that some of the essays I have written will be read and will stir some compassion and empathy for the families who are living through this cult nightmare. Enough is enough. Accountability time!

In this interview from 11 months ago
WPATH’s very own Marci Bowers lets her guard down to a trans identified interview.
If someone regrets surgeries that’s on them, they should do their homework. That’s on them.
He says people don’t regret it.
But also says he had three that did.
He also says he got kicked out of Colorado. And they should have listened to him because they could have made a lot of money, now that insurance was covering it.
GAC starts with social transition. If you were told lies by a doctor or mental health provider, such as dead son live daughter, risk of suicide without transition, puberty blockers are reversible, etc. That falls under the FTC guidelines.
I was given that line once. And actually emergency room, mental health place, school, therapist, psychologist actually only affirmed and gave me nothing, told me nothing, not even support for family or parents. Just changed his name and gender pronouns.
I on the other hand gave them lots of information about his autism, ADHD, sexual grooming, depression, gifted, bullying and info on gender dysphoria I found myself. I have emails all to prove it. To this day nobody has ever responded to it. NOT ONCE!
hello, can you explain on what terms the FTC grants anonymity? I have a draft of a statement but I don't know what I need to say to gain the privilege of anonymity.
Anyone can be anonymous for any reason. You can post an anonymous comment on the portal, or you can submit a confidential complaint via the email given for that purpose. It is helpful to explain at the beginning of your complaint why you need to be anonymous. If you want the FTC to act on your complaint, it is helpful to at least have an email where they can contact you back. You can also contact https://www.lgbcouragecoalition.org and they can submit your complaint anonymously on your behalf. See Jamie Reed's comment below.
Thank you for explaining this. I would like to submit my letter anonymously, by my husband works for some of the bastards at fault whom I would like to name, and I don’t want to get him fired just before he’s set to retire. I also don’t want my letter to be discounted because it’s submitted anonymously, and yet I don’t want to not submit it out of fear of retaliation. It’s good to know that I can give a reason for anonymity and not feel that I’m submitting it in vain.
I have shared this with Genspect, SEGM, Sasha Ayad, Stephanie Winn, Maia Poet, and Glenna Goldis. Stephanie Winn posted it (the FTC link) on X!

When you email anonymously do they provide a portal or something to upload files? Mine are two large to email?
What happens after you email them and ask to do it anonymouslyv
When you email ask them to give you a postal address to mail the documents. Normally, you wont hear back unless the FTC wants to pursue a complaint and wants to follow up with the person who submitted the complaint.
Holly crap, I’m going through stuff and this is so incriminating to see all over again! What they actually did ever give me. It’s all BS. But in official documents.
Is there a character limit for submissions? Should it be limited merely to personal experience, or is it helpful to frame our story in how and why this is a gross failure to society at large?
I think there is a 5,000 character limit.
Thank you. Mine is nearly 5800. I need to do some honing.
You could submit 2 comments and divide out your document so that you aren't limited. Just an idea!
It doesn’t have to be personal experience alone. For example, you can submit false claims advertised online by plan parenthood, online hormone peddlers or doctors. I am not sure if there’s a character limit but it’s best to have substance rather than volume.

You can resend via email and add the provider’s name. Black out your child’s identifiable information.
Is there any downside to submitting my story anonymously? Will anonymous submissions be taken less seriously?

It’s very incriminating!

GAC is only listening media and not mentioning Social Transition. Are they not going to look at social transition statements?
GAC starts with social transition. If you were told lies by a doctor or mental health provider, such as dead son live daughter, risk of suicide without transition, puberty blockers are reversible, etc. That falls under the FTC guidelines.
