Pentagon Doctors Push Transitions on Children – Intercessors for America

Even the federal government is pushing transgenderism on our children. We desperately need to be covering kids in prayer.

From Fox News. Health providers at U.S. military bases, some of whom are involved in treating military-connected minors, blasted the idea of waiting before injecting kids diagnosed with gender dysphoria with puberty blockers and hormones.

The DoD providers said in the March edition of the American Journal of Public Health that the only pathway for children of military members who present with gender dysphoria symptoms is to immediately move towards “gender-affirming health care, such as puberty suppression and affirming hormones.”

The doctors said that on the basis of “human rights,” “youths … have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.”

They went so far as to claim 7-year-olds can make their own medical decisions.

The authors – David A. Klein, Thomas Baxter, Noelle S. Larson as well as clinical psychologist, Natasha A. Schvey, PhD – demanded the military train all of its providers on their ideas on gender medical interventions for minors, despite acknowledging that 53% of military-affiliated physicians in the Department of Defense health system indicated they would refuse to prescribe hormones regardless of any training. …

Some of the authors work at Uniformed Services University — a military institution. The article recommended this institution take the lead in pushing forward trainings on “gender-affirming care” within the Pentagon health system.

Fox News asked the DoD whether it intended to offer trainings on the adolescent population in line with the ideas expressed by its clinicians.

“The Department of Defense will train its health care providers in keeping with current science and best medical evidence,” the DoD responded.

The DoD also told Fox News Digital that it does not support rushing anyone into taking drugs and that medical decisions are made in consultation between a minor and their guardians.

The DoD providers proceeded to blast clinicians who pause before changing a minor’s gender to see if they would grow out of the dysphoria, calling it “unethical.” …

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of Do No Harm, an organization of physicians seeking to restore the medical profession to the Hippocratic Oath, disputed the claims made by the DoD doctors, calling them “laughable.”

“The notion that 7-year-old children are capable of such decisions is beyond laughable,” Dr. Goldfarb said.

“The existence of a large, perhaps as much as 25% cohort of ‘detransitioners,’ suggests the folly of assuming the soundness of childhood decisions,” he said.

A detransitioned teenager who was subjected to gender medical interventions, Chloe Cole, recently told Fox News Digital that she “lost all my trust in my health care provider and possibly even health care.”

Cole was put on puberty blockers and testosterone at 13; she underwent a double mastectomy at 15. She later detransitioned and accused her doctors at Kaiser Permanente of depriving her of informed consent. Kaiser Permanente has denied this allegation. …

The health providers demanded the DoD publicly declare that it supported a “gender-affirmative position” and convince military members about the “evidence-based medical care” of changing a minor’s gender. …

They added that the Defense Health Agency should provide legal services to help skirt recent laws banning “gender-affirming care” for minors. …

The Pentagon told Fox News in a statement, “The Department of Defense provides federally authorized care in its military medical treatment facilities in accordance with applicable law.” …
