Physician leaders keep crusading for the freedom to disrupt healthy children’s natural puberty and physiology despite state bans shuttering pediatric gender clinics, executive orders threatening federal funds, and now a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services blocking Medicare and Medicaid payments to hospitals providing pediatric sex-change interventions. Human physiology hasn’t changed, yet medical elites trumpet a revised paradigm of health when it comes to gender procedures that prioritize patients’ beliefs over the preservation of normal bodily functions.
On the one hand, traditional Hippocratic oath medical principles seek to conserve established physiological processes in support of physical health. On the other hand, “gender-affirming” clinicians aim to liberate patients from their own natural bodily functions with interventions that artificially produce physical characteristics more closely aligned with gender aspirations.
