Scot Bradley Glasberg vs. transgender people
Scot Bradley Glasberg is an American plastic surgeon and anti-transgender activist.
Glasberg helped shape an anti-trans position statement published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that recommended banning surgery for transgender people under age 19.
In 2026, Glasberg was announced as a speaker at a London conference organized by anti-trans hate group Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and Clinical Advisory Network on Sex and Gender titled “Rethinking Youth Gender Medicine.” At that conference, Glasberg reportedly said “a cogent argument” could be made for setting age 26 as the minimum age for transgender surgery.
