A children’s hospital in Washington is denying that it has performed sex change surgeries on minors after two workers were recorded saying a 16-year-old could get a sex change surgery and the hospital on its website offered “gender-affirming hysterectomies” to children essentially from birth.
Children’s National Hospital, primarily funded by U.S. agencies, stated on its website that it was offering “the following services” for patients “between the ages of 0–21.” Among the services were “gender-affirming medical care and gender-affirming hysterectomy.”
