Significant Increase in Transgender Treatments for Minors

A recent report highlights a staggering number of nearly 14,000 minors who underwent various transgender treatments between 2019 and 2023, contradicting claims that such interventions are rare. The report suggests that over 5,700 of these treatments included surgical procedures labeled as sex change operations, alongside more than 62,000 prescriptions for puberty blockers and hormones. This significant data challenges previous assertions from notable institutions, such as Harvard, which suggested that gender-affirming surgeries on youth were infrequent. As the report presents, these numbers unveil a widespread trend that has been occurring, revealing an alarming reality regarding the treatment of gender dysphoria in children and adolescents.
