NYT: The Biden Administration Pressured Trans Surgery Lobbying Group WPATH to Drop Minimum Age Requirements For Trans Mutilations

During Pride Month, NYT?

DURING PRIDE MONTH?!!?

(Thanks to 496 for the reminder.)

"Admiral" "Rachel" Levine
Pretty is as pretty does

WPATH is the association that vigorously promotes trans "interventions," particularly for children. It's funded by Pritzker money.

WPATH is an extremist organization.

But it wasn't extremist enough for the aggressive toxic male "Rachel" Levine.
The world's most infamous transgenderism-for-children organization still supported minimum age requirements for "interventions" for children.

And Rachel Levine told them to remove all age requirements from their guidances.

Newly released emails from an influential group issuing transgender medical guidelines indicate that U.S. health officials lobbied to remove age minimums for surgery in minors because of concerns over political fallout.

Surgeries! No minimum age for experimental transgender surgeries for children!

This is the Biden Administration -- a radical, viciously leftwing regime which must be stopped at all costs.

Health officials in the Biden administration pressed an international group of medical experts to remove age limits for adolescent surgeries from guidelines for care of transgender minors, according to newly unsealed court documents.

...

Email excerpts from members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health recount how staff for Adm. Rachel Levine, assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services and herself a transgender woman, urged them to drop the proposed limits from the group's guidelines and apparently succeeded.

...

The draft guidelines, released in late 2021, recommended lowering the age minimums to 14 for hormonal treatments, 15 for mastectomies, 16 for breast augmentation or facial surgeries, and 17 for genital surgeries or hysterectomies.

That's what WPATH recommended -- which is already an extremist position.

Biden, who's all about sexualizing young children, said that those age minimums had to go.

The proposed age limits were eliminated in the final guidelines outlining standards of care, spurring concerns within the international group and with outside experts as to why the age proposals had vanished.

The email excerpts released this week shed light on possible reasons for those guideline changes, and highlight Admiral Levine's role as a top point person on transgender issues in the Biden administration.

More from the NYPost:

"We sent the document to Admiral Levine ... She like[s] the SOC-8 very much but she was very concerned that having ages (mainly for surgery) will affect access to health care for trans youth and maybe adults too," a WPATH member wrote in one internal email released by psychologist Dr. James Cantor as part of litigation challenging an Alabama law outlawing certain gender transition-related treatments and procedures.

"Apparently the situation in the USA is terrible and [Levine] and the Biden administration worried that having ages in the document will make matters worse," the health group member continued.

"She asked us to remove them," the email continued, referring to Levine who identifies as a transgender woman.

In another excerpt, a WPATH member recounts a conversation Levine's chief of staff, Sarah Boateng, and notes that "She wonders if the specific ages can be taken out" on the proposed guidelines.

WPATH appears to have caved to the Biden administration's pressure.
