The Washington University Transgender Center in St. Louis has refused to stop giving hormones and puberty blockers to minors during a state investigation into potential malpractice and abuse, much to the frustration of Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey.
Mr. Bailey pushed back after his call for a moratorium was rejected this week by BJC Health President and CEO Richard J. Liekweg and Washington University in St. Louis Chancellor Andrew D. Martin.
“If the clinic is serious about protecting patients and instituting control measures, the best control measure at this point in time is a moratorium on these types of procedures,” the Republican attorney general said. “Why is the clinic in such a hurry to prescribe medication and surgery instead of psychology and psychiatry?” Mr. Bailey asked. “Why aren’t they talking to these kids about their mental-health problems instead of immediately jumping to irreversible medication and surgery?”
“Therefore, we cannot institute a moratorium that would deny critical, standards-based care to current and new patients,” said the Tuesday letterby KMOV-TV in St. Louis. “Out of an abundance of caution, however, we are establishing additional oversight at the Transgender Center, and we will continue our internal review of practices at the center to ensure that our patients and families are receiving the appropriate guidance and care for their individual medical needs.
