(LifeSiteNews) – Department of Defense (DoD) doctors published a report urging that children in military families who experience gender confusion be subjected to experimental “transition” procedures and suggesting that kids as young as seven years old be allowed to make life-altering decisions regarding cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers.
The group of
military doctors said that they were motivated to author their report
because some states have
begun to limit or ban such procedures for kids. They said this represents
a “crisis” in so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors.
The authors
noted that some of these states are home to large military bases with large
populations of military families with kids.
“These
current legislative efforts, along with efforts to exclude gender identity from
legal discrimination protections, restrict sports participation, and regulate
bathroom use” harm gender-confused youth, they allege, while ignoring the
damaging impact that inflicting gender ideology has had on children forced to
compete against and use school
restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite
sex.
The report,
“Caring for Military-Affiliated Transgender and Gender-Diverse
Youths: A Call for Protections,” published in the most recent edition of
the American Journal of Public Health, falsely claims
that “[g]ender-affirming health care, such as puberty suppression and affirming
hormones, mitigates” risks of “suicidal ideation or self-harm” for
gender-confused minors and “optimizes patient-oriented outcomes.”
Written in
an authoritative tone, the report is, in reality, a one-sided opinion piece
attempting to eliminate legitimate objections to highly
dangerous transgender procedures.
