In what would have been a stunning announcement just a few years ago, Langone Medical Center, a New York City giant in the healthcare industry, has announced it will stop providing surgery and hormone treatments for children confused about their gender.

This comes after years of the medical establishment insisting that surgery on minors is very rare and "needed" only in extreme cases.

Last year, Harvard School of Public Health published an article titled "Gender-affirming Surgeries Rarely Used on Transgdender Youth," which conveniently did not include the actual number of children who have had such procedures.

This was in the article written by the co-author of the cited study: "Our findings suggest that legislation blocking gender-affirming care among TGD youth is not about protecting children, but is rooted in bias and stigma against TGD identities and seeks to address a perceived problem that does not actually exist."
