Young Children Do Not Receive Medical Gender Transition Treatment
Children are not offered surgery or drugs before puberty.
Drugs that suppress puberty are the first medical treatment that may be offered to a transgender minor, the guidelines say. Children may be offered drugs to suppress puberty beginning when breast buds appear or testicles increase to a certain volume, typically happening between ages 10 to 13 or 10 to 14.
There are no comprehensive statistics on the number of gender-affirming surgeries performed in the U.S., but according to an insurance claims
analysis, 776 minors with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria had breast removal surgeries and 56 had genital surgeries from 2019 to 2021.
