He graduated early to get gender-affirming surgery before college. Then his hospital cut him off.

Huh, in Pennsylvania one can't buy a beer until they are 21, but to these liberals it's ok to give dangerous drugs to minors.

These liberals and "doctors" think they are god.

This kid would be better off being drafted and sent to some hell hole to fight.

Kudos to Caleb Kauffman for his consistency in referring to Lee as ‘he’ throughout the article.

[Tell It Right]

Was the headline double entendre? It looks like a Bee headline. LOL

“gender-affirming surgery ”

Only in Opposite World.

It is denial, not affirmation.

[from occupied ga]

Trying (but not very hard) to work up sympathy, but my sympathy meter is pegged at zero. This wack job and others like him/her/it is sucking away medical resources from people who are actually sick. To hell with him and the writer of this price of trash can go pound sand too.

If a doctor prescribed diet pills to an anorexic, or performed liposuction on an anorexic, he’d be sitting in prison and the hospital sued out of existence. Yet, if he prescribes opposite sex hormones and mutilates the genitals of a patient with Gender Dysphoria, even to the point of sterilization, he’s rewarded.

Pathetic Evil “mother”.

Evil. She should be in jail.

Who cut him off?

[HamiltonJay]

And I am supposed to feel empathy for this person, however I do not.

There is zero science supporting “gender affirming care”. None.

There is no less suicide rate, no more positive outcomes, none. It’s quackery and those who engage in it are committing malpractice.

I’m sorry your mother and father fell for this and helped you further wreck your life young lady… I hope you actually get the help and care you truly need… I know you don’t believe it but the “care” you have been receiving has been anything but.

True. It’s difficult to learn and relearn that “being comfortable” and feeling “safe” is not what this world is about.

This world is the devil’s space.

Hope he will come to his senses before he finds a “health care provider” that is actually willing to multilate him.

Lee worked to graduate a year early from high school, thinking it might allow him to more quickly pursue top surgery — a procedure that alters the chest to align with a patient’s gender identity.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Why don’t they offer ‘gender affirming care’ surgeries or procedures to females who feel they are actually females with bigger breasts or are actually blonde?

OR put the ‘trans’ in institutions where these ‘confused’ kids can get the help they need????

[Ge0ffrey]

Gender unaffirming surgery. To call it affirming is Orwellian.

[quilterdebbie]

My thought too!

[Ronald77]

I’ll donate a pair of scissors.

[Deaf Smith]

“hot flashes” confirms that IT is a chick that thinks she can go into the world of men.

But his childhood pediatrician was dismissive, telling a long story about a woman who once identified as a lesbian and later married a man — suggesting his gender dysphoria was just a phase. “Just hang in there and don’t do anything,” Nicole said, paraphrasing the doctor’s advice.

Months before his first class at Carlow University, Lee, a 17-year-old in Pennsylvania, found himself without a provider.

... and apparently also without a d*ck.
