Between 2019 and 2023, 13,994 minors underwent gender transition treatments nationwide. In addition, 5,747 minors underwent gender reassignment surgeries and 8,579 minors received hormones and puberty blockers.

This was revealed in a report by Do No Harm, an organization representing doctors, nurses, medical students and patients who advocate keeping ideology out of medicine.

In that regard, the organization explained that 62,682 sex-change prescriptions were also written for minors. The group said its intention is to "provide information to health care providers, policy makers and researchers to help them understand trends, optimize care and influence health policy."

Similarly, the organization published a list of the hospitals that it believes most strongly promote sex change procedures in children. The Stop the Harm database can be found at StopTheHarmDatabase.com and catalogs pediatric sex change-related services, including surgeries, cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, at medical centers across the country between 2019 and 2023.

"To select our list, we identified each pediatric hospital and pediatric facility offering sex change treatments and considered a combination of factors to determine the institution’s engagement in performing and promoting sex change treatments on minors," the organization said.
