The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) children’s hospital is offering puberty blockers and sex hormones to patients as young as age 3, making the claim that all treatments are “fully reversible.”
UCSF’s Child and Adolescent Gender Center “offers comprehensive medical and psychological care, as well as advocacy and legal support, to transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive kids,” according to its website. “We bring together experts from within as well as outside UCSF to promote gender health and support positive outcomes for children and adolescents exploring gender identity and expression.”
The center accepts new patients ages 3 through 17, but patients may continue to receive care through age 25. Through its program housed within the UCSF Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, the center says it is able to “offer the most advanced medical care” through various treatment options.
The opening message on the page names one such treatment as “gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists,” which, according to the website, is “medication that can safely suppress puberty by blocking production of the principal sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone.”
