Here are some earlier numbers from Reuters, less comprehensive because they are based on a smaller set of records:
>The Komodo analysis of insurance claims found 56 genital surgeries among patients ages 13 to 17 with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2019 to 2021.
>Among teens, “top surgery” to remove breasts is more common. In the three years ending in 2021, at least 776 mastectomies were performed in the United States on patients ages 13 to 17 with a gender dysphoria diagnosis, according to Komodo’s data analysis of insurance claims. This tally does not include procedures that were paid for out of pocket.
>At least 14,726 minors started hormone treatment with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2017 through 2021, according to the Komodo analysis.
The exponential growth is bad because of the fact that every thorough evidence review has concluded that these procedures have little to no value and the prospect to do great harm. The AAP promised its own evidence review over a year ago but has done nothing.
