Speak up before September 26 — 11:59 PM ET

Too many children have been told by medical professionals that they were born in the wrong body and mutilated under the banner of so-called “gender-affirming care.”

The truth? These children—and in many cases, their parents—have been lied to. 

These barbaric drug and surgical regimens are not life savers for transgender-identifying children—they lead to life-long medical complications.

• Testosterone leaves girls with vaginal atrophy and lacerations, clitoral enlargement, facial hair growth, vocal hoarseness, menstrual irregularity and suppression, as well as suppression of ovulation, which can lead to sterility. 
• Estrogen puts boys at higher risk for blood clots and sterility. 
• Surgeries like vaginoplasty—which surgically cut off the penis and create a gaping wound (“neovagina”) that is prone to infection—and double mastectomy are irreversible.

Thankfully, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now investigating whether the pediatric gender medicine industry has deceived families by hiding risks and making false claims. As Independent Women ambassador Prisha Mosley, a detransitioner, told the FTC, “This is the greatest medical scandal of our lifetimes. Doctors are selling patients snake oil—no human can change sex.”

It’s well past time to call this so-called “gender-affirming care” out for what it actually is: a lie. Our most vulnerable Americans—our children—deserve better.

We have until September 26th at 11:59PM ET to weigh in. Use the form to easily submit a comment directly to the Federal Trade Commission and urge them to crack down on the mutilation of minors. Personalize it for even greater impact.
