Biggest US children's hospital stops sex-reassignment treatments

The move comes after a whistleblower claimed doctors were scaring parents into letting their kids start puberty blockers and hormones, while racking up medical bills of $80,000 for each patient.

Until the cost of lawsuits is bigger than the income from medicalisation, nothing will change.

No it won’t be the end of medical transition of children. This has come about due to a change in the law in that state. Doctors in other states will not follow suit unless they are forced. Sadly this looks to become something that is banned in Republican states and encouraged in Democrat states who are going so far as to offer “sanctuary” to children from states who are banning doctors from offering such “treatments”.

Sadly not. The hospital even say they intend to get around the new law by referring out of state.

I don’t think Kim Kardashian’s trading of humans is irrelevant either, surrogacy and child transition are both about the commoditisation of women hood and children by powerful misogynistic groups.

If they’re not careful they will be left with a patchwork quilt. You can live in a state with no medical transitioning but no abortion or one where abortions are available but they’re desperate to perform medical transitioning procedures on your child.

liberal but sensible doesn’t seem to be an option.

This is in Texas, as a result of a state law passed by a majority Republican legislature.

The same may happen in other red states

I can't see it happening in blue states.

Khloe Kardashian has also now said that she hasn’t bonded the same with her son born via surrogate last summer. That it felt transactional and she felt guilty taking him away.
