A new database revealed thousands of minors had gender-affirming surgeries from 2019-2023. The database created by Do No Harm is called “Does My Hospital Transition Kids?”
Do No Harm is a national advocacy group of medical professionals who have said they are against “woke” hospital agendas. The group aims to provide the public, policy makers and researchers with clear insights into gender-affirming care for minors.
The report found that 13,994 minors received gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, in the five-year period.
Researchers found that from the total number, 5,747 minors had gender-affirming surgeries.
The database’s state-by-state analysis highlights California as performing the most irreversible gender surgeries on minors with 1,359. Oregon followed with 357, and then Washington with 330.
Researchers collected the data from insurance claims across the country, which totaled $119 million. They say the numbers may be underestimated due to the data not including other forms of payment including self-pay and charity.
