Over 5,700 Minors Underwent Gender Surgeries in Five Years, Report Finds

A watchdog group highlights significant numbers of gender-related treatments in liberal states, sparking debate over pediatric care practices.

Do No Harm, a healthcare watchdog, released a database revealing nearly 14,000 minors received gender-related medical interventions from 2019 to 2023.
California led with over 2,000 minors undergoing treatments, incurring more than $28 million in charges, the highest in the nation.
The report identifies 12 hospitals, termed the 'Dirty Dozen,' as major centers for these procedures, with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia topping the list.
Critics argue the treatments are experimental and potentially harmful, while supporters emphasize the need for affirming healthcare for transgender youth.
The database aims to inform public discourse and influence legislative efforts regarding pediatric gender medicine in the United States.
