The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) recently released new guidelines for children in their new “Standards of Care.”
The Daily Wire previously reported on the WPATH’s decision to remove the minimum age recommendations for minors to receive medical interventions that permanently alter the body. A new live-streamed session from WPATH’s annual conference on Sunday reveals why they made this change from previous editions: so that doctors wouldn’t face malpractice lawsuits.
WPATH published its Standards of Care 8th Edition in International Journal of Transgender Health on September 6, 2022. A correction was published in the same journal on September 15, which removed sections pertaining to “minimal ages for gender-affirming medical and surgical treatment for adolescents.”
Based on the WPATH guidelines, a tomboy — a girl who rejects feminine stereotypes through her preferences and behaviors — would be considered “gender diverse” and may warrant a visit to a pediatric gender clinic.
In lieu of age recommendations, WPATH now suggests that both puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones may be administered when a child reaches Tanner Stage 2, meaning at the first signs of puberty. For girls, puberty begins between ages 9-11, and for boys around age 11.
For surgeries, no indication of a minimal age is given in the guidelines, and instead it recommends: “At least 12 months of gender-affirming hormone therapy or longer, if required, to achieve the desired surgical result for gender-affirming procedures, including breast augmentation, orchiectomy, vaginoplasty, hysterectomy, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, and facial surgery as part of gender-affirming treatment unless hormone therapy is either not desired or is medically contraindicated.”
In black and white. Please wake up now actual medical professionals and protect children from WPATHs “Guidelines”.
This clearly demonstrates that the policies of this organization are aimed at benefiting medical professionals, even against the health of children and adolescents.
Esto demuestra con total claridad que las políticas de esta organización están orientadas a beneficiar a los profesionales de la Medicina, incluso en contra de la salud de la infancia y la adolescencia.
