Some doctors prescribing puberty blockers for kids as young as eight

 National Review:

An undercover video released Wednesday by Project Veritas revealed that doctors in Texas and New York are routinely prescribing puberty blockers to children as young as eight years old.

“We do have patients who are starting as young as eight, nine,” a social worker at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Texas explained to one Veritas reporter who went undercover as a parent exploring transition services for his ten-year-old child. “We have a list of gender affirming therapists that we can provide.”

The social worker goes on to explain that, in some cases, puberty blockers are prescribed to young children after just one consultation with a doctor.

“In regards to prescribing [puberty blockers], that’s up to the prescriber’s discretion. And they might just require a couple of appointments just to see,” the social worker adds. “It might be appropriate after one. It’s not something that we want to gate-keep.”

In another clip, Prisha Mosley, a woman who transitioned as a teen only to de-transition in later life, tells the outlet that she was pressured into undergoing transgender surgeries and hormone treatment without a proper understanding of the impact of the procedures.

“They said it was transition or suicide. Like I was given no choice. I was told you will kill yourself if you don’t go through with these treatments,” she says.

I think "gender-affirming" is a misleading term.  They are doing the opposite when they attempt to change the true gender of a person.  What they are doing is masking certain elements of a person's gender, but they cannot change the DNA which identifies the person's true gender along with other features of their identity.
