I offer support to find gender affirming care for youth, even if they need to go out of state. If parents are unsupportive, some kids choose to get emancipated at 16 to make their own medical decisions. Dealing with transphobic parents can be tough, especially if they are very right-leaning. It's important to find a chosen family of friends who accept you. I can send you a binder discreetly if needed.

Children can begin to understand differences in gender at a young age. Some figure out their gender identity early on, which may not align with their assigned sex at birth. The assumption that a child is definitively male or female based solely on their genitals is incorrect.

Medical organizations have approved gender affirming care for children, but critics argue it lacks long-term evidence and may cause harm. Concerns include parental rights, teacher involvement, and potential social contagion. The push for affirming children's gender is attributed to social media influence and activism. The debate questions the appropriateness and safety of such treatments for young individuals.

We are harming children with the current approach to gender identity. Young kids, facing bullying or discomfort during puberty, may express confusion about their gender. They are often sent to mental health professionals who are instructed to affirm their feelings, leading to irreversible medical interventions like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. This process can sterilize children and deprive them of future sexual pleasure. Many affected are as young as 9 or 10, unable to give informed consent. When they later wish to detransition, they often face abandonment and depression, having permanently altered their bodies. This issue is critical for both children and women's rights.

Gender affirmative care is deemed medically necessary, safe, and effective for transgender and non-binary individuals. Attacks on the LGBTQI+ community, particularly trans youth, are driven by an agenda unrelated to science and medicine. These politically and ideologically motivated assaults contradict the vast body of scientific evidence.

In the last 15 years, the number of clinics serving pediatric patients on gender issues in the United States has grown from zero to over 100. This growth can be attributed to various factors, with the main catalyst being the implementation of Obamacare in 2010. The law mandated insurance companies to cover medically necessary gender-affirming care, leading to a 50% increase in sex reassignment surgeries and a 25% increase in insurance coverage for transgender individuals between 2010 and 2016. In 2016, an amendment to the Affordable Care Act further prohibited private insurance companies from denying coverage based on gender identity. This resulted in a 150% increase in sex reassignment surgeries from 2016 to 2017. The provision was revoked by the Trump administration but reinstated by the Biden administration.

An investigation reveals that in New York, minors can seek gender-affirming care without parental consent, and several organizations facilitate this. The Ali Forney Center (AFC) prioritizes housing for minors in undisclosed locations, and does not contact parents. They advocate with the state and child protective services (CPS) against non-consenting parents, recognizing transphobia as abuse. The Office of Children and Family Services will investigate non-affirming parents based on anonymous complaints. Care for the Homeless works with AFC and the Institute for Family Health (IFH) to provide gender-affirming care, including surgeries, funded by Medicaid and CHIP. IFH, as a federally qualified health center, uses government funds to provide this care without parental knowledge. Some healthcare providers are concerned about potential lawsuits from individuals who later detransition. Organizations like AFC, Care for the Homeless, and IFH have received millions in federal funding. Concerns exist that a potential Trump administration could cut funding for these services, especially with Elon Musk potentially overseeing government spending.

Parents have always affirmed their children, especially when their gender and identity expression aligns with their biological gender. However, when this doesn't happen, affirmation tends to decrease. This is the issue at hand with the TGI bill, which doesn't mention transgender and gender non-conforming individuals explicitly. Instead, it focuses on the child's gender identity and expression, as well as the parents' duty to affirm their children.

Clinics need to gather better data and conduct research to ensure children and young people receive proper care. The lack of data on outcomes for those who have undergone medical transition is concerning. The Tavistock clinic's failure to provide meaningful data was highlighted in a court case. It is crucial to collect data to improve treatment practices and ensure all individuals receive quality care.

A child will often know that they are transgender from the moment that they have any ability to express themselves, and parents will often tell us this. We have parents who tell us that their kids, they knew from the minute they were born practically, and actions like refusing to get a haircut or standing to urinate, trying on siblings' clothing, playing with the quote opposite gender toys, things like that. There is more and more a group of adolescents that we are seeing that really are coming to the realization that they might be trans or gender diverse a little bit later on in their life. So what we're seeing from them is that they always sort of knew something was maybe off and didn't have the understanding to know that they might be trans or have a different gender identity than the one they had been assigned. So that is a growing population that we are seeing and that's being recognized as being trans and able to be treated.

"The eligibility for getting gender affirming surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital is basically the same as it would be for most other hospitals or surgeons in The United States." "And that's the case because we all follow the World Professional Association for Transgender Health or WPATH standards of care." "For top surgery, you are requested, but not required to have been on gender affirming hormones for at least a year." "If you're a trans woman, it's really encouraged that you be on estrogen for at least a year because you want to maximize your natural breast growth." "Many surgical centers require you to be 18." "At Boston Children's Hospital for top surgeries, we'll see people as young as age 15 if they've been affirmed in their gender for a long period of time and don't really have any other life complications that make surgery inappropriate."

An endocrinologist questions the use of powerful hormones and surgeries in gender affirmative therapy without concrete evidence of gender identity. They highlight the high rates of desistance in children with gender dysphoria and the lack of objective markers to determine if a child will persist in their gender identity. The Endocrine Society acknowledges the low quality of evidence and the difficulty in identifying which children require treatment. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests asking the children themselves. The spread of the affirmative model of care has outpaced the evidence supporting it, as shown by systematic reviews indicating poor quality and uncertain benefits. A study on mastectomy in youth is criticized for drawing conclusions based on a small sample size and short follow-up period. The quality of research in this field is questioned.

No doctor is being forced to provide medication to adolescents; they are choosing to treat their patients based on the best available evidence. Many young people have known their identities from a very young age and have suffered for years before finding relief. It's important to note that it is the parents who consent to this treatment, driven by love and concern for their suffering children. Parents are following the advice of medical professionals and doing what they believe is best for their kids. The situation in Tennessee has created challenges for these families.

Many patients in the GEMS Clinic know their gender well before adulthood; some children know from birth or seemingly from the womb, and they will usually express identity with phrases like "I'm a girl" or "I'm a boy" and continue to explore through age two and three, and usually up to the ages of nine. At the clinic, a psychologist discusses gender with the child and their family and helps ensure they have space and support to explore their gender and do well throughout their development. Parents’ questions are common, and the main guidance is to be supportive—"just be supportive" and "love your child and support them and just allow them to express themselves"—since parental support protects against depression, suicidality, and anxiety. Resources in the GEMS program include individual gender assessments and GEMZ parent nights to learn about interventions and psychosocial aspects.

"Sometimes it may be just a phase of development where they're exploring their gender identity and they're kind of getting a sense of who they are, but a lot of children do end up identifying as that gender into young adulthood and adulthood." "The only real way we know for sure that they're going to continue in that gender identity is just to allow them to develop over time." "And so that's what we recommend to parents is to give them the space." "Even if parents are concerned that it's a phase, we never want to tell the child that they shouldn't be expressing their gender identity or that they should be, ashamed for the way that they're expressing their identity because that can be quite harmful." "We just want to give the child a chance to develop and explore on their own."

Danielle Smith's new gender and pronoun policy is causing controversy. The Alberta Medical Association released an open letter stating that the decision to seek gender affirming care should be between a person and their doctor. They also mentioned that puberty blocking agents are not irreversible and have benefits. The surgeries targeted by the program were not happening, as bottom surgery is not available in Canada for patients under 18. Concerns were raised about creating a private registry of physicians providing gender affirming care as it is seen as a surveillance measure. The government did not consult with a child and youth advocate, and other medical associations have also opposed the program. The Alberta government sent out a poll asking whether parental consent should be required for abortions for those under 18, which is seen as an attempt to strip rights from young people. This puts trans kids at risk for political gain.

Restoring Medical Integrity, Evidence, & Ethics in Gender Care | Lauren Schwartz and Arthur Rousseau
Guests: Lauren Schwartz, Arthur Rousseau
reSee.it Podcast Summary
On Origins Podcast, Lauren Schwarz and Arthur Rousseau discuss their chapter in The War on Science, focusing on gender-affirming care (GAC) and medical standards. They argue that the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) wields influence, with U.S. medical bodies deferring to it, while the UK’s Cass report and countries have begun to curtail such care. They describe WPATH’s standards of care (SOC 8) as presenting itself as evidence-based, lifesaving care, yet note published reviews finding the strength of the evidence often low or indirect, and that guidelines are not always consistent with the underlying literature. They recount that Johns Hopkins underwent political pressure to withdraw systematic reviews and that WPATH later imposed an approval mechanism over future publications. The speakers condemn the reliance on “lived experience” over rigorous evidence, and highlight concerns about age restrictions being removed and consent for minors to hormonal or surgical interventions. They cite a lack of long-term outcome data, no conclusive evidence that gender-affirming care reduces suicide, and cases illustrating the risks of messaging to afraid families. They call for better education, transparency, and a return to science-based medicine, while referencing the Tennessee minors’ care case and urging global alignment.
