that the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital was doling out the hormone drugs to kids with very little oversight of their mental health issues.has confirmed elements of her allegations — including that the center failed to help some who regretted their transitions — after speaking with dozens of patients and reviewing hundreds of pages of documents detailing the center’s care plans.
The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital hastily handed out hormone drugs to some children despite their mental health issues, according to a New York Times report.Reed, who quit the center last November after four years over what she described as “morally and medically appalling” practices, said she and another staffer had created their own “red flag list” because the clinic had no system of patient tracking.
Reed and her colleague wound up conducting at least six training sessions with emergency room staff in August and September last year amid an influx of young transgender patients coming in experiencing mental health crises. Meanwhile, some patients also claim the center ignored their calls for help after they decided to de-transition or stop taking hormone treatments, the emails reportedly show.
She recalled being prescribed the drug when she was 15 in 2017 after identifying as trans for three years and being referred to the center by a therapist. In a statement, the university insisted the center prioritized mental health care and that “patients have ongoing relationships with mental health providers.”
