.HHSGov SecBecerra demonstrated tacit support for social and medical gender transitions for minors in testimony on Tuesday before a House committee. “It means a lot to me that a medical professional is the one guiding that patient’s decision,” he said.
Rep. Glenn Grothman began the questions regarding gender transition medicine by describing his exchange with a 15-year-old girl who deeply regretted having a double mastectomy as part of a gender transition. When asked about her ability to consent as a minor, Becerra said that the decision ought to be between a physician and a patient, irrespective of age.
“Back then, you clearly defended and supported changes in the law to stop 18- to 20-year-olds from being able to own a firearm,” said Banks, “and I just wanted to ask this question: Why do you think that children much, much younger than 18 years old — 9, 10, 11-year-olds — are mature enough to make a decision to have sex reassignment surgery?”When asked by Grothman about the changing policies on sex reassignment and transition of minors in other countries, Becerra said that he was unfamiliar...
Grothman also asked if there are long-term studies on the brain development and psychological effects of puberty blockers on children as they grow into adulthood, to which Becerra responded in the negative. Banks also asked Becerra if he would follow through on a threat made in a 112-page report on transgender youth care to withhold hospital grant funding to states that do not support gender transition medicine for minors.
