Planned Parenthood has emerged as a significant contributor to the increasing demand for “gender-affirming” care – some patients are prescribed cross-sex hormones the same day as their consultation.
According to their annual reports, Planned Parenthood affiliates located in the greater Portland area witnessed a remarkable surge of nearly 400 percent in “gender-affirming care visits” between 2021 and 2022. A similar trend was observed in Ohio, where these affiliates reported an astonishing 544 percent increase over the same period.

Even the liberal pioneers of gender medicine are alarmed, saying PP has eroded vital guardrails on an irreversible treatment.🧵https://t.co/9tdmylBuoP

A Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania stated: “A therapist’s letter is not required to begin hormone therapy at our health centers,” and “Most patients are prescribed hormones that day.”
In Knoxville, Tennessee, for instance, a Planned Parenthood facility informed NPR that approximately one-fifth of its patients sought hormone therapy in 2021, whereas abortion services constituted only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s national services.
“I have always been a very strong supporter of Planned Parenthood and am pro-choice,” said Laura Edwards-Leeper, who co-founded the nation’s first pediatric gender clinic, at Boston Children’s Hospital, in 2007. “But they have taken on something that they are not equipped to handle.” The lack of gatekeeping is so bad, she added, that some of her patients received hormones from Planned Parenthood before coming to her for an assessment.
A Reuters investigation conducted last year revealed that some of these clinics now prescribe hormones on the very first visit.
“Puberty blockers and sex hormones do not have FDA approval for children’s gender care. No clinical trials have established their safety…and the long-term effects on fertility and sexual function remain unclear,” Reuters said in its study. “And in 2016, the FDA ordered makers of puberty blockers to add a warning about psychiatric problems to the drugs’ label after the agency received several reports of suicidal thoughts in children who were taking them.”

It’s called the "informed consent model". The patient expresses the desire for treatment, then provider explains the risks, and if the patient… pic.twitter.com/McsgCwZWsz

Some doctors argue that Planned Parenthood – which relies heavily on nurse practitioners and employs few psychiatrists – is “ill-equipped to handle complex causes.”
These clinicians are not trained to assess patients’ “developmental trajectory,” including the role social media plays in their lives, childhood traumas or the wide spectrum of autism which can greatly affect a patients’ psychological makeup.
