Texas Children’s Hospital does sex change surgeries on kids as young as 11, says report.

Children as Young as 11 Undergo Sex Change Procedures at Texas Children’s Hospital

A shocking new report reveals that Texas Children’s Hospital, the largest children’s hospital in the country, has been performing sex change procedures on children as young as 11. According to whistleblower documents obtained by City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, the hospital inserted an implantable puberty blocker in multiple children, including at least one 11-year-old.

Continued Procedures Despite Legal Concerns

Despite legal and criminal liability concerns, the hospital has not stopped performing these procedures. In March of last year, Texas Children’s Hospital executives announced that they would stop performing transgender medical procedures on minors. This was due to Governor Greg Abbott’s directive to investigate cases of children receiving transgender medical intervention as “child abuse.”

However, whistleblower documents obtained by City Journal show that the hospital has continued to perform these procedures. Dr. Richard Roberts, a pediatric endocrinologist at Texas Children’s Hospital, is one of the doctors who performs transgender medical procedures on minors, medical records show. Roberts has reportedly treated many patients aged 12 to 17 for “gender identity” and “gender dysphoria.”

Implant Procedures on Multiple Children

Dr. Kristy Rialon, another doctor at the hospital, has inserted and removed a “non-biodegradable drug delivery implant” for what the medical records said was “gender dysphoria in pediatric patient.” The report noted that she has done this for multiple children both this year and last year. One of those implant procedures was reportedly performed on an 11-year-old girl, described as a “female-to-male transgender person.”

The other children who got “drug delivery implants” inserted by Rialon were 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 years old, according to the medical records.

Encouraging Medical Interventions for Trans-Identifying Children

In January, Texas Children’s Hospital teamed up with Baylor College of Medicine to host a presentation that promoted medical interventions for trans-identifying children to the hospital’s doctors. The presentation, called “Medical and Psychological Care of Gender-Diverse Youth,” explains puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries in depth. It encourages doctors to start children on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones when they are adolescents.

These procedures are typically reserved for adults, although there certainly are case-by-case basis by which adolescents do access some surgical options to help affirm their gender identity, the presenter says.

Alarming Statistics

It is more popular than ever for youth to adopt new gender identities. An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 identified as transgender as of last year. Meanwhile, hundreds of teen girls in the U.S., some as young as 12, have gotten elective, gender-related double mastectomies to remove their healthy breasts over the last few years.

Despite legal concerns and the potential harm to children, Texas Children’s Hospital continues to perform sex change procedures on minors. This is a disturbing trend that needs to be addressed.
