MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The tiny clinic where physicians prescribe hormones and other medications to transgender teenagers shares the same campus where West Virginia kids travel to receive treatments for rare cancer, heart surgery and other health care difficult to get anywhere else.
In a rural state purported to have the highest number of transgender youths per capita and some of the nation’s worst health outcomes, West Virginia University Medicine doctors say transgender health care is just as essential as the other lifesaving services they provide.
But it could soon be banned. Ignoring doctors’ pleas, lawmakers are preparing to vote this week on a bill that would outlaw certain health care for transgender minors, including hormone therapy and fully reversible medication that suspends the physical changes of puberty, buying patients and parents time to make future decisions about hormones.
“There’s a lot of anxiety and fear in our exam rooms right now,” said Dr. Kacie Kidd, medical director of WVU Medicine Children’s Adolescent Gender and Sexual Development Clinic.
Dakota Kai, 17, spent childhood in and out of psychiatric care because of depression and anxiety related to gender dysphoria.
Kai’s mother, Sherry, said she was apprehensive at first about hormone therapy. But after conversations with providers, she and her child confidently decided to pursue it and have no regrets. Transgender minors can’t begin medical interventions without parental consent.
“The amount of ignorance about the subject is honestly astounding,” she said. “Watching our society respond with such emotional fervor about something that they obviously logically don’t understand is terrifying.”

God created Adam and Eve. He knew what He was doing. Everyone else—not so much.
In a normal society any “transgender-health clinic” would be there to provide psychiatric care to the loons who think they are women.
There's that word again. Everything is "terrifying" to the weak mind of a proggy.
This is some sick stuff folks. What would have been considered truly sick and evil and illegal just 10 years ago is now “normal” and if you oppose it you are a “bigot”.
Of course these kids are confused about their gender. They have people telling them lies from the day they were born. The kids think it’s cool to be a different gender instead of being boring and normal. Now kids are identifying as animals. What could be next? Identifying as a dead cat?
>fully reversible medication
Prove it.

how much money are the doctors and hospitals making off of messing these kids up for life?
it’s truly insane that the leftist satanists try to kill babies before they’re even born. Then after birth, they try to mentally and physically scar them for life with tranny story hour and forcing them on gender bending drugs and mutilating them with surgeries.
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The “doctors” that did this should be sued into oblivion and put in jail! This is evil!
The WV state police should break the door down, and take all inside away in cuffs and shackles
If the Dims are right that our society is evil towards women, then how come most of their trans folks are men claiming to be women? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
“The tiny clinic where physicians prescribe hormones and other medications to transgender teenagers shares the same campus where West Virginia kids travel to receive treatments for rare cancer, heart surgery and other health care difficult to get anywhere else.”
But instead of being concerned for the kids with actual life-threatening medical conditions, let’s waste a lot of ink whining about kids the left wants to sexually mutilate.
It is a heinous crime to waste American medical resources to pervert our children.
The Medical Industry, once admired, is a complete and utter moral and ethical shambles.
Transgender health care = cutting off perfectly good body parts
Oh, gosh! we gave the wrong stuff to the patients who were here for other treatments. Oh, well, accidents will happen.
I have a correction as I noticed an obvious omission.
But it could soon be banned. “Ignoring doctors’ pleas”,THAT BANNING THE PROCEDURES WOULD EAT INTO THE CLINIC’S PROFIT AND SUPPORT BY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES..
