Prohibiting Gender-Affirming Medical Care for Youth

UCLA ^ | Mar023ch2 | UCLA Williams Institute

As of March 2023, 30 states have restricted access to gender-affirming care or are currently considering laws that would do so. The bills carry severe penalties for health care providers, and sometimes families, who provide or seek out gender-affirming care for minors. This study estimates the number of transgender youth at risk of losing access to gender-affirming care under these bills

Oh my, they(UCLA) are losing a money stream sexually mutilating children, for the transgender cause.

Any “doctor” who would mutilate a child deserves to not only lose their license to practice medicine, but a very long prison sentence. Barbaric, evil and blatantly against the Hippocratic Oath (if that even means anything anymore).

Corrected.

[grimalkin]

Mutilation Gender-affirming care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society.

We say this because we're paid to.

Amen!

Anyone that wants to either chop off their penis or sew up their vagina is mentally ill and needs to be institutionalized.
Period.
End of discussion.

How was “gender dysphoria” treated before they started doing hormone shots and surgery on people?

Serious question. Gender dysphoria is a recognized mental health condition by the psychiatric profession. How and why has it come to pass, that now we do these medical interventions on people, when they were not done in the past?

I’m thinking they got mental health counseling of some kind, but don’t know for sure. But it does seem like a recent thing, to perform surgery on people, with a mental health problem. It seems whatever can be done with these people, is better than performing irreversible surgeries and flooding their body with hormones which are not intended for someone of their biological sex.

No, it is not “gender affirming care” it body and mind destroying care to coddle mental illness to rake in cash for this new industry they have created.

The very terms they use on the Left are lies.

GD is recognized and legit — in so far as anything from head shrinkers (aside JPeterson) is concerned. However, such a diagnosis takes weeks -to- months. It is not like “died with Covid” crappola.
It is also <1% of those claiming it now.

The explosion in numbers is the result of corrupt “diagnosis” and DrMengele type med professionals chasing the bucks associated with the mutilation work and life time drugs afterwards. These are the same med profesionals who signed off on “died with Covid” for the same reason, money.

Tar and feathers comes to mind.

Here, let me assist. I can affirm your gender. Male or female. Either XX or XY. Not available for change.

[Bishop_Malachi]

I take it “gender-affirming” is the new politically correct doublespeak term for “gender-changing” treatment.

Gee,that's almost as many states that voted to define marriage as 1 man - 1 woman only....until Obammy's supreme court flipped the bird to the whole country.

“Affirming”. Another made-up leftist term.

In order to affirm something, it has to be established first. By whom, a child (or an activist adult)?!

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- “Affirming”. Another made-up leftist term.

Indeed. As with "affirmative action," certain forms of racial prejudice became sanctioned by law. In the case of "affirming" the sterilization of both males and females, the Islamic tradition of slavery, eunuchs and female genital mutilation of barbarous tribal traditions is no different.

These transgenderists "affirm" mutilation and sterilization, and plenty of cosmetic surgeries scoop up the law-mandated insurance payments. Simple corruption and basic perversion united.

BOTH hormonal and surgical “transgender” interventions are MUTILATION!!!!

Stop the barbaric madness!!!!

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Am not an expert on that field or subject, but once upon a time it was a narrow field of practice, treatment was heavy on the psychiatric side. Lots of counseling. And if staff agreed that it was a legit step to take, hormones would be allowed, with monitoring of effects along with continued counseling. Surgery was seen as a last, radical step only for certain circumstances, with continued care afterwards that was still heavy on the mental counseling. That sort of treatment strategy was planned out by experts the way it was done for the sort of reasons we now see exploding all over the place. They evidently knew what sort of dynamite they were working with and operated under concerns for the liability not only unto themselves and their practice but society at large as well. Evidently that's no longer an issue, safeguards are dismissed. Now it's step right up, get your hormone prescription and an appointment with a surgeon in 30 minutes or less! Use the drive-thru for faster service! One day, someway, somehow, there's gonna have to be a price paid for this level of individual as well as collective reckless endangerment that's been unleashed.
