EXCLUSIVE: Parents Have New Way To Determine If Their Child’s Doctor Is Part Of Pro-Trans Group

American Parents Coalition unveiled new resources for parents to help identify whether their child’s pediatrician is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, alleging that the group “prioritizes political activism,” the Daily Caller News Foundation first learned.

APC’s newly launched campaign includes a how-to resource showing parents how to use the AAP’s own public physician directory, identify if they are designated as a “Fellow” of the AAP (FAAP), conduct additional checks of their pediatrician’s credentials and examine state and federal guidance on parental access to their child’s medical information. The resource also directs parents to a letter template they can use to effectively communicate expectations with their child’s doctor.

APC is also launching a new website, dubbed AAPActivism.com, which parents can use to find available information about the AAP’s “transgender activism.”

“Parents deserve accountability and transparency when it comes to their child’s medical care and should not worry about political agendas tainting medical guidance,” APC executive director Alleigh Marré told the DCNF in a statement. “While receiving millions of dollars in federal funding, the American Academy of Pediatrics advances dangerous transgender interventions and procedures for kids which prioritizes political activism over best practices.”

“Parents deserve to know what kinds of guidance their providers advocate for and should be allowed to receive care that is best for their child,” she continued.

The AAP did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

APC previously alleged that the AAP “has a long track record of pushing policies that favor a political agenda over the well-being of children, such as transgender ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, while using federal funding to do it.”

The AAP claimed in a June 28, 2025 X post that “gender-affirming care remains evidence-based, medically necessary care that improves the health and well-being of transgender youth.”

In February, the AAP filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for launching a probe into its guidance on sex-change procedures for minors, the DCNF previously reported.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a Nov. 19, 2025 statement that the American Medical Association and the AAP’s “so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ has inflicted lasting physical and psychological damage on vulnerable young people.”
