A new video released by Project Veritas evidenced that some World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) physicians in Texas and New York admit that minors are considered for gender transitions.

A Veritas reporter infiltrated Dell Children's Medical Center in Texas pretending to be a parent who wanted to explore sex change options for his 10-year-old son. There, a social worker provided information on the matter and detailed that puberty blockers are constantly prescribed to children after a single consultation with a physician:

We have patients who start at eight or nine years old (...) We have a list of gender affirming therapists that we can provide. As far as prescription is concerned [bloqueadores de la pubertad], that is at the discretion of the prescriber. And they may only require a couple of appointments just to see (...) It might be appropriate after the first one. It's not something we want to keep an eye on.

"Most children are mature enough."

Veritas material revealed that a specialist in adolescent pediatrics at Mount Sinai Hospital System in New York allows children to begin their gender transition as young as ten years old:

If you want to undergo surgery, it is always good to be already within the hospital system. Just for your information in those terms, in reality, quite a few surgeons will act in young people, the barrier is in the insurance....

The specialist indicated that "most children are mature enough to make a relatively informed decision" and recounted the process:

The way to go at this age, 10 years old, would be something like a puberty blocker. When you get to 14, that's when I'll consider some, you know, cross-gender hormones. 14 is a reasonable age.

According to some doctors in the industry, money is the main reason many of them perform transgender surgeries on teenagers.

"Reproductive regret".

In a separate recording accessed by the media, a group of specialists talked about the "reproductive regret" experienced by young people who transitioned as minors. Since, almost all of them had lost the capacity to procreate .

In the video, a pediatric endocrinologist acknowledged that some specialists who perform transitions on minors regret it after subjecting them to these procedures. But he argues that it is the cost worth paying to make the child "happy in the moment."

We try to talk about it (...) That always bothers me, but you know, we still want the kids to be happy. Happy in the moment, right?

In the same recording, Prisha Mosley, a woman who transitioned as a teenager and had decided to pause shortly thereafter, said shewas pressured by doctors to continue treatment, which included surgeries:

They said it was transition or suicide. As if I was given no other choice. I was told that you will commit suicide if you don't follow these treatments.
