Boston Clinic Offering "Help" for "Transgender" Children

Jeff Robinson
July 15, 2008



FOX News recently reported a disconcerting story out of the East: Boston Children's Hospital has launched a clinic to "help" gender-confused children. Critics rightly call the hospital's version of help "disturbing and barbaric."

Dr. Norman Spack is the pediatric specialist behind the clinic for "transgender children," and he is treating patients as young as 7-years-old. For younger patients who desire to be the opposite gender from that of biology, birth and Providence, Spack offers counseling and drugs that delay the onset of puberty. The drugs, he says, halt the natural flood of hormones that will make it difficult to have a sex alteration later in life, allowing children "more time to decide whether they want to make the change."
