Dr. Julia Mason is a board-certified pediatrician and Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois and completed residency training in Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Dr. Mason has a busy pediatrics practice; in the past several years she's encountered increasing numbers of gender dysphoric adolescents, most with neurodevelopmental challenges or psychiatric comorbidities.
Last week The AAP Board of Directors voted to reaffirm their 2018 policy statement on gender-affirming care but with an important announcement that they will conduct a systematic review of the evidence and revise their guidance for pediatricians accordingly. Dr Mason has been a leading advocate for that systematic review, so we were excited to have her join us to tell us more.
And here’s our conversation with Dr Mason
