Children’s Minnesota hospital offers gender treatments for minors, from toddlers on up.
The hospital is among a number of institutions across the U.S. recently
exposed for offering the highly controversial gender treatments to
children, The Post Millennial reports.
“Like all kids, transgender youth deserve to grow up happy, healthy, safe
and strong. We’re here to help them every step along the way,” the
hospital’s website proclaims, offering, “gender health care for kids and teens.”
Advertised services include gender consultations, mental health
evaluations and treatments such as puberty blockers, gender-affirming
hormones, menstrual suppression and fertility preservation consultations.
While the website claims the hospital aims to help transgender children
“grow up happy, healthy and safe,” some studies have found puberty
blockers and cross-sex hormones to be dangerous, potentially causing bone density issues, brain swelling and permanent vision loss, as well as an elevated risk of cancer.
The director of the hospital’s Gender Health Program, Angela Kade
Goepferd, goes so far as to claim children may know they are transgender
by the time they are able to speak, also asserting that not all boys have penises, and not all girls have vaginas.
In a video clip shared online, Goepferd explains that children begin understanding the differences between genders around age 2, and by ages 3
or 4 they develop a “sophisticated understanding of physical
characteristics and anatomy.”
Goepferd, who reportedly considers herself “non-binary,” claims to be
neither the mother nor father of her three children, but their “mapa.” In
the video she says her three children, ages 4-6, were, “assigned male at
birth” and “continue to identify as males.”
The gender program director also uses a crayon analogy to illustrate her beliefs: Imagine the difference if children are only given a pink or blue crayon to draw themselves compared to a box of 64 crayons, she says,
according to The Post Millennial. “If we open the box of crayons, they
will tell us who they are.”
In response to another Post Millennial report about a transgender health conference session moderated by an employee of Children’s Minnesota, the hospital sent the publication a legal demand to delete it, citing a lack
of consent. Although the event was live-streamed, The Post Millennial took
down the full video of the panel, replacing it with a three-minute clip.
Critics of transgender ideology have expressed concerns about the
secretiveness around treatments and policies involving minors, from
schools to hospitals.
