Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
excerpts from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health document how Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services‘s staff pressed the organization to drop age requirements for minors to obtain gender transition surgeries in the group’s September 2022 Standards of Care update.
One excerpt from an unnamed WPATH member recounts a conversation with Levine’s chief of staff, Sarah Boateng, in which she said Levine “is confident, based on the rhetoric she is hearing in D.C., and from what we have already seen, that these specific listings of ages, under 18, will result in devastating legislation for trans care,” asking for the age limits to be removed from the final draft.
Draft guidelines from WPATH published in 2021 recommended establishing age minimums of 14 for hormonal treatments, 15 for mastectomies, 16 for breast augmentation and facial reconstruction, and 17 for genital reconstruction and hysterectomy. These were ultimately removed from the final draft.
