Some members of the leading transgender medical organization in the world conceded that procedures were required to help transgender folks “detransition” back to their real sex, while in public recommending that children receive sex change surgeries with no hassles, according to a story by the Daily Wire.
The World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), in private, asked for advice on treating the complex medical necessities of patients wanting to return or “detransition” to their real sex after having sex-change surgeries such as vaginoplasty, breast augmentation, double mastectomy, hysterectomy, and oophorectomy.
Some members of WPATH admitted in a private forum the maltreated bodies of detransitioners needed specialized care and these struggling folks were often discarded by the medical community which gave them their wounds.
“Curious if anyone or any institutions have protocols or policies related to ‘de-transition’ – either request to reverse any gender-affirming surgeries or put people back on prior hormonal state,” wrote Dr. Christopher Terndrup, the associate director of the LGBTQ+ Healthcare Fellowship Program at Vanderbilt Health, in a message thread titled “De-transition Protocols/Policies.”
“We really need the clinical pathways. People will ask how to go off testosterone or how to restart testosterone and I’ve asked various MDs and gotten different responses. Often, folks who are choosing to detransition feel like they have to do this all on their own,” wrote a psychologist. “When folks restart testosterone there can be mood shifts as well. When people alter their hormones, a lot of regret arises about choices they have made and it seems like it’s helpful to offer patients a non-regret focused frame — ie, that they are embracing who they are at this moment and taking positive steps to embody themselves, etc.”
Dr. Kurt Miceli, chief medical officer at Do No Harm, told The Daily Wire there is an “undeniable need” for detransitioner medical protocols.
“There is a critical and undeniable need for detransitioner protocols — a reality acknowledged even by WPATH’s own members. Yet this is the same organization that has ignored systematic review upon systematic review as it promotes harmful and irreversible sex-rejecting procedures for minors,” Miceli told The Daily Wire. “This contradiction cannot be brushed aside: it exposes a fundamental inconsistency in which life-altering interventions are championed for minors on the one hand while the reality of those who later seek to reverse them has unfortunately been minimized and gone unaddressed.”
