Troubling Trends in Health Misinformation Related to Gender‐Affirming Care.Stef M. Shuster & Meredithe McNamara - 2024 - Hastings Center Report 54 (3):53-55.details Amidst the misinformation climate about trans people and their health care that dominates policy and social discourse, autonomy‐based rationales for gender‐affirming care for trans and nonbinary youth are being called into question. In this commentary, which responds to “What Is the Aim of Pediatric ‘Gender‐Affirming’ Care?,” by Moti Gorin, we contextualize the virulent ideas circulating in misinformation campaigns that have become weaponized for unprecedented legal interference into standard health care. We conclude that the current legal justifications for upending gender‐affirming care (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
Values and Evidence in Gender‐Affirming Care.Os Keyes & Elizabeth A. Dietz - 2024 - Hastings Center Report 54 (3):51-53.details This commentary responds to the article “What Is the Aim of Pediatric ‘Gender‐Affirming’ Care?,” by Moti Gorin, in the same issue of the journal.

Drawing on feminist bioethics, we show how such dichotomous thinking is both inaccurate and marginalizing of gender minorities. Download Export citation Bookmark
Minors Lack the Autonomy to Consent to Gender‐Affirming Care: Best Interests Must Be Primary.Johan C. Bester - 2024 - Hastings Center Report 54 (3):57-58.details What ethically justifies the provision of invasive and irreversible treatments to minors? In this commentary, I examine this question in response to Moti Gorin's article “What Is the Aim of Pediatric ‘Gender‐Affirming’ Care?,” which critiques autonomy‐based arguments for justification of gender‐affirming care in minors. Minors generally lack sufficient autonomy to make significant medical decisions or major life decisions. For this reason, parents are generally their decision‐makers, working with medical professionals to choose treatments that serve the best interests of the minor. (...)
