Planned Parenthood Pivots to Where the Money Is: Transgender Hormone Therapy

As abortion access shrinks, the organization has been promoting its services for transgender people, including minors.

Recently, Planned Parenthood released several guides on transgenderism and the relevant medical services the organization offers. One of these guides is titled, “What should I teach my elementary school aged child about identity?” The guide claims that “gender identity — including transgender and gender nonconforming identities — are cemented early in elementary school.” Under the question, “How do I know if my child is transgender or gender nonconforming?” the guide states that, “for [some] kids, it’s clear as early as 2–3 years old that they’re not the gender everyone says they are.” Many kids aren’t potty-trained by the time they are two to three years old, but Planned Parenthood is claiming that they will be able to comprehend the concept of gender.

At the end of the guide, after information for parents on how to create a safe space for their transgender or gender-nonconforming child, is a “Book an Appointment” form. On the menu of services, one option is “Transgender Hormone Therapy” — not a service one would typically associate with this organization.
