It is odd that an organization named “planned parenthood” does so much that has nothing to do with pregnancy. In reality, abortion and trans ideology are about sexual autonomy. This is why Planned Parenthood tells teens they can put puberty on hold: “You should be the one to decide what change you want to make to your body.”

Planned Parenthood is known for unapologetically profiting from abortion, contraception, and “comprehensive” sex education. However, in recent years, the abortion giant has been quietly expanding its business model. In fact, Planned Parenthood is now the leading provider of cross-sex hormones for gender transition in the U.S. Of 600 clinics nationwide, nearly 450 locations offer transition “medication.” Last year alone, it “treated” 40,000 patients, 40% of which were 18- to 22-year-olds.  

Some Planned Parenthood offices offer hormones to those younger than 18. Minors must be at least 16 and have parental consent, except in states like California, whose laws allow minors to receive “sensitive care” without parental permission. According to insurance data collected by the Manhattan Institute, about 12,000 minors aged 12 to 17 were seen at Planned Parenthood affiliates between 2017 and 2023.

In fact, according to many of the most prominent de-transitioners, whose nightmarish stories are just starting to be heard, a Planned Parenthood clinic was the first stop after social media in their journey of “gender transition.” For example, Helena Kirschner visited Planned Parenthood as soon as she turned 18 and received testosterone at her first visit without so much as blood work or a mental health referral. Planned Parenthood’s own advertising promises patients a hormone prescription on the same day as their initial consultation, and “no letter from a mental health provider is required.” 

In recent years, more and more de-transitioners, young women in particular, are publicly sharing how “gender-affirming care” left them with mutilated bodies, infertility, and deep regret.
