The Department of Health and Human Services&#8217; Office of Population Affairs released last week a document entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/opa.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-03\/gender-affirming-care-young-people-march-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gender Affirming Care and Young People<\/a>. On the same day, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration issued the document <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nctsn.org\/sites\/default\/files\/resources\/fact-sheet\/gender-affirming-care-is-trauma-informed-care.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both documents encourage gender reassignment surgery and hormone treatments for minors. The NCTSN in particular mentions a number of &#8220;appropriate treatments&#8221; for transgender adolescents, including &#8220;top surgery&#8221; in order to create &#8220;a typically male chest shape&#8221; and &#8220;bottom surgery&#8221;, which involves alteration of genitals or reproductive organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCTSN statement reads: &#8220;In transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early care for gender affirmation is critical to overall health and well-being,&#8221; as it allows the child or adolescent to &#8220;increase their confidence in the health care system.&#8221; The procedure may include interventions &#8220;such as puberty blockers&#8221; or &#8220;hormones&#8221; that allow gender reassignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCTSN document goes to great lengths to assure the public that various &#8220;gender affirmation&#8221; methodologies such as surgery and hormone replacement would involve neither &#8220;maltreatment&#8221; nor &#8220;child neglect.&#8221; This is most likely a response to the Texas ban on the this type of treatment. &#8220;There is no scientifically valid research showing negative impacts of gender-affirming treatments,&#8221; the NCTSN adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-biden-puts-his-face-on-it\"><strong>Biden puts his face on it<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>President Joe Biden himself has taken full responsibility for such &#8220;innovations,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8wCjz2SIYVo&amp;t=10s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">even dedicating an entire video to LGBT+ issues<\/a>. Addressing parents of transgender children, Biden states that &#8220;affirming your child&#8217;s identity is one of the most powerful things you can do to keep them safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President then explains that his administration will counteract laws of individual US states that limit the ability of male-born transgender athletes to compete in women&#8217;s competitions. A very heavy choice of field, taken a few days after the <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en?p=133365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">case of trans<\/a> swimmer &#8220;Lia&#8221; Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such laws in place in several states are &#8220;just plain wrong&#8221; and &#8220;hateful,&#8221; argues Biden whose administration &#8220;fights for transgender equality in schools, on playgrounds, at work, in our armed forces, in our housing and health care systems, everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late March, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-administration-transgender-agenda-youth-sex-change-hormone-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a Texas judge<\/a> barred the state from investigating parents who initiate their children into gender transition. Of opposite opinion is the governor of the state, Greg Abbott, who calls those treatments &#8220;child abuse&#8221; and has ordered child protection services to investigate any reported cases.
