Opponents on minor gender dysphoria care feel medicine is on their side

The question before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday was whether a Tennessee law banning gender dysphoria treatment for minors is unconstitutional.

On the steps was Dr. Jared Ross, a member of Do No Harm, a group of medical professionals who say their mission is to keep identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.

Ross has a story, too, about a blue-haired girl who came into an emergency room one night. She described herself as “gender-confused,” Ross said in an interview with The Center Square.

“She was cutting herself with a razor blade because voices were telling her to,” Ross said. “Can you imagine if I had affirmed these voices, affirming what she was hearing? That would have been malpractice, that would have been criminal. I didn’t affirm those voices. I also didn’t affirm her gender confusion.”
