They criticized the idea of waiting before administering puberty blockers. These doctors argued that the military should train its providers on methods involving medical actions related to gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The DoD providers said in the March edition of the American Journal of Public Health that the only pathway for children of military members who present with gender dysphoria symptoms is to immediately move towards &#8220;gender-affirming health care, such as puberty suppression and affirming hormones.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The doctors said that on the basis of &#8220;human rights,&#8221; &#8220;youths&#8230; have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They went so far as to claim 7-year-olds can make their own medical decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The authors &#8212; David A. Klein, Thomas Baxter, Noelle S. Larson as well as clinical psychologist, Natasha A. Schvey, PhD &#8212; demanded the military train all of its providers on their ideas on gender medical interventions for minors, despite acknowledging that 53% of military-affiliated physicians in the Department of Defense health system indicated they would refuse to prescribe hormones regardless of any training.<\/p>\n<p>Klein, Schvey and Baxter work at Travis Air Force Base in California, and Larson &#8212; a pediatric endocrinologist &#8212; works at the Department of Pediatrics at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the authors work at Uniformed Services University &#8212; a military institution. The article recommended this institution take the lead in pushing forward trainings on &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; within the Pentagon health system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/pentagon-doctors-claim-7-year-olds-can-make-decisions-injected-hormones-puberty-suppressants\">information<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Healthcare providers related to the military, David Klein, Thomas Baxter, and Noelle Larson, were among the &hellip; <a title=\"Three DOD doctors push for quicker \u201cgender affirming\u201d action by military doctors\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=139031\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Three DOD doctors push for quicker \u201cgender affirming\u201d action by military doctors<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=139031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=139031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=139031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=139031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
