A team of healthcare providers at US military bases has come out in support of minors having access to experimental sex change procedures, arguing that children as young as 7 are capable of “medical decision-making,” and suggesting that using psychotherapy to treat gender distress is “conversion therapy.”
In the March edition of the American Journal of Public Health, the team of doctors claim that in reasoning grounded in human rights, “youths…in an informed consent model of care, have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.”
According to Fox News, the team also argues that the only pathway for gender-confused children with parents serving in the military is immediate medicalization, “such as puberty suppression and affirming hormones.”
The authors – David A. Klein, Thomas Baxter, Noelle S. Larson, and Natasha A. Schvey, assert the need for the military to train its healthcare providers in how to provide minors with experimental and irreversible sex change interventions, despite acknowledging that 53 percent of physicians affiliated with the military in the Department of Defense (DoD) health care system report being unwilling to prescribe hormone therapy with or without training.
