Medical professionals are catering to an ever-growing market of individuals seeking “gender-affirming” surgeries, and there are apparently billions of dollars at stake.
The potential profits would likely be bigger if some state legislatures, such as in Texas, did not enact laws prohibiting children from being administered transgender hormones or put under the knife. As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the Texas Supreme Court recently ruled that the state can enforce its ban on sex alteration procedures for minors.
Still, underage or not, some individuals who undergo such surgeries sometimes regret their decision.
A former employee at a transgender clinic claimed she witnessed patients who had body parts surgically removed when they were children desperately plead to have them put back on, reported DX.
Proponents of transgender hormone administration and sex-alteration surgery point to data suggesting that such interventions help with mental health problems.
Here’s some of what Fox News reported on the burgeoning transgender surgery industry:
A new report from a conservative think tank is shedding light on the size of the “booming” transgender surgery industry today that has swelled into the billions of dollars and continues to grow and raises a variety of concerns.
The new report American Principles Project (APP) shows that the transgender “medicine” industry has exploded into a massive system where total revenues for transgender drugs and surgeries in 2023 were estimated to surpass $4.4 billion. That number, according to the study, could exceed $7.8 billion by 2030.
“My organization, American Principles Project, has been concerned about the entire transgender agenda as it pertains to children for quite some time now,”APP President Terry Schilling told Fox News Digital.
“We know that there are obvious physical and psychological consequences to it, but we wanted to figure out why the industry was growing so much, why such a small population was getting so much attention and media, you know, favorable attention in our cultural arena, and we figured out very quickly that there’s a lot of money here.“
