As per a study from the medical watchdog group Do No Harm, hospitals in the U.S. made almost $120 million in four years by helping about 14,000 children under the age of 18 change their gender.
A new watchdog group found that between 2019 and 2023, up to 5,747 children had treatments to change their sex and another 8,579 used sex hormones or drugs to stop puberty.
The report found:
- 13,994 kids got treatments related to sex change.
- There have been 5,747 sex change surgeries on children.
- There were 62,682 orders for hormone and puberty blockers made for 8,579 children.
- Sex change treatments on children brought in at least $119,791,202.
The group said it’s possible that the real data is bigger than what has been revealed.
The group said, “These numbers only scratch the surface of how common these practices really are. Also, the Stop the Harm Database has descriptions of the most common organizations and companies that do these risky and unproven treatments.”
Do No Harm’s head, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, said that the group’s goal is to “expose the dangers of experimental juvenile gender medicine and put an end to the practice.”
Goldfarb said, “This is the first project of its kind to give patients, families, and lawmakers a resource that shows how common irreversible sex-change treatments for children are in the United States. This information is just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s the first step toward holding the medical establishment responsible for taking part in and often supporting unethical and harmful medical procedures on children who are weak.”
Do not hurt Chloe Cole, Senior Fellow and Patient Advocate, said that the information will be used to show that campaigners are wrong when they say that minor sex-change treatments are very rare.
“The numbers in this database show that thousands of kids are being used as test subjects for medical studies that haven’t been proven to work and are sometimes dangerous.” Cole said, “I hope that both lawmakers and parents use this information to find out where these treatments are taking place and to keep their kids from being rushed into treatments that will change their lives forever.”
