'Barbaric Pseudoscience': Detransitioners, Clinicians Implore Congress to Halt Transing of Minors...

The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Thursday addressing the dangers and due process violations of “gender-affirming care” for children.
Dr. Blaire Peters, a “gender-affirming” surgeon, admitted that doctors in this field are just learning as they go. “We’ve maybe done a handful of pubertally suppressed adolescents as a field, and no one has published on it yet.” He went on to describe the challenges of creating a vaginal canal for a child without enough tissue to do so yet, and how they often pull lining from the child’s abdomen to track their genital canal. Chairman Mike Johnson (R-La.), facilitator of this hearing, responded to Dr. Peters statements by calling his practice “barbarism,” the mutilation of children.
A two-and-a-half-hour debate broke out between representatives from both the Republican and Democratic sides, along with testimonies from six witnesses — all offering different perspectives on what “gender-affirming care” means to them.
