EXCLUSIVE — EdWorkforceCmte Chairwoman virginiafoxx is demanding ChildrensNatl, Washington children's hospital, detail its protocols and policies related to the administering of cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children.
The letter from Foxx seeks answers from the hospital on whether or not it has provided"medical interventions for a minor diagnosed with gender dysphoria" without the consent of both parents, including such procedures as facial reconstruction, chest reconstruction, or genital modifications such as vaginoplasty or phalloplasty.
"I am concerned about the use of life-altering, irreversible medical interventions on children with healthy bodies," Foxx wrote."Parents are a key part of any medical decisions for their children: parents have the right and responsibility to make medical decisions for their children, and they should be free to do so without undue pressure or interference from medical establishments.
