BOSTON (TND) — Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH), a nationally renowned hospital ranked number one in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, was the first major pediatric hospital in the country dedicated to providing life-altering surgical procedures for gender-dysphoric youth.
The Center for Gender Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital offers gender affirmation surgery services to eligible adolescents and young adults who are ready to take this step in their journey,” BCH’s website reads.
Among the “gender-affirming” surgeries offered at BCH are “gender-affirming hysterectomies,” which involve the removal of the cervix, or the lower, narrow end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and vagina, as well as the fallopian tubes.
Hysterectomies, which are irreversible, are commonly used for cancer patients and a litany of other gynecological health problems. Now, one of the nation’s leading hospitals wants to remove healthy cervixes and fallopian tubes, which would permanently prevent a patient from being able to bear children.
