Hospitals Abandon Trans Surgery for Kids After 'Myth' Falls Apart
Langone Medical Center in New York City is stopping its trans surgery and hormone treatment services for minors, citing that the 'myth' of childhood gender dysphoria has 'fallen apart'. This decision follows a shift in medical understanding and treatment approaches for transgender youth.
Langone Medical Center, a prominent hospital in New York City, has announced that it is stopping its gender-affirming surgery services for minors, citing the debunking of myths surrounding transgender youth care. The decision comes after research revealed that the benefits of such procedures for young patients are not as clear-cut as previously thought. This shift reflects a growing trend among hospitals and medical organizations to reassess their approach to treating transgender minors. As a result, the hospital's surgeons will no longer perform surgeries or prescribe hormones for minors undergoing gender transition.
