The advocacy group Do No Harm stated in a\u00a0report\u00a0on Tuesday that trans-identified children can obtain through the internet cross-sex hormones designed to make them take on an appearance that aligns with their stated gender identity rather than their biological sex.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cA cursory internet search for information related to pediatric medical transition reveals a host of resources directing users to online pharmacies, distribution networks for \u2018homebrewed\u2019 hormones and guides on self-administering cross-sex hormones,\u201d the report stated. \u201cIn just a few clicks, users can find discussion forums on major social media sites like Reddit dedicated to enabling \u2018gender transitions\u2019 absent professional oversight.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The report cited\u00a0research\u00a0from the Manhattan Institute identifying the \u201cTransDIY\u201d Reddit forum as \u201crife with requests for help finding cross-sex hormone vendors, with users asking questions such as which online pharmacies could ship to their state.\u201d It also highlighted how one website \u201clists several online pharmacies located on multiple continents from which minors can procure cross-sex hormones,\u201d adding the disclaimer that \u201cgetting hormones without a prescription is against the law.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Another website profiled in the report includes a list of \u201c\u2018unregulated\u2019 online pharmacies from which users can purchase hormones, with language stating these pharmacies do not require prescriptions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of these pharmacies do not appear to require a prescription or verification of a customer\u2019s age at any point before prompting the customer to submit payment information,\u201d the report states.\n<\/p>\n

After listing several international and domestic pharmacies that enable minors to purchase cross-sex hormones online, Do No Harm called on Congress to \u201chold hearings about this relatively new issue to determine whether additional legislation is necessary to ensure the health and safety of patients.\u201d The organization also urges the Food and Drug Administration to \u201cinvestigate online pharmacies that appear to be skirting safety rules and take appropriate enforcement action.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the state level, state executive branches should investigate and prosecute online sellers if they are in violation of existing state prohibitions on cross-sex hormones for minors and, where applicable, practicing pharmacology without an appropriate license,\u201d the report added. \u201cStates should also consider passing new legislation, as needed, to close any loopholes and strengthen enforcement against such vendors.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0statement\u00a0reacting to the report\u2019s release, Do No Harm Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Miceli said that children with gender dysphoria shouldn\u2019t \u201cbe able to purchase potent, experimental medications with just a few simple clicks.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The report cited some of the long-term consequences of cross-sex hormones for minors that have informed state-level bans, including \u201cinfertility, increased risk of heart attacks and increased risk of cancer.\u201d Additional possible long-term impacts identified by the American College of Pediatricians include an increased risk of strokes, diabetes and blood clots.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThese hormones carry significant risks, including effects that can be irreversible,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n

Currently, 26 states have laws banning minors with gender dysphoria from obtaining cross-sex hormones: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.\n<\/p>\n

Last year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report\u00a0warning against \u201cinvasive\u201d and \u201cusually irreversible\u201d medical interventions for children with gender dysphoria.\n<\/p>\n
