During a hearing for NH's HB 712 Jamie Reed testified Anti-Trans org "Do No Harm" purchased insurance datasets that prove Dartmouth performed top surgery on minors. In response, Dartmouth Health's Senior Director of Government Relations states that Jamie Reed's evidence was actually falsified data.
Surprise surprise. Transphobes manufacturing fraudulent information to use in testimonies
Meanwhile, real data - national numbers for Gender affirming top surgery for teens younger than 18 are around 240-290 per year for 2019-2021: www.reuters.com/investigates...
Note: The gender-affirming surgery done most, in the US, is excess breast tissue removal *on cisgender males.*
Yeah... when you run the numbers of such things per 100,000 cisgender teens - and include cosmetic surgeries as well vs per 100,000 transgender teens they're practically the same.
Stats and sources on that about 3/4s of the way down on this page in the section titled "Cis & Trans Rates of Gender Affirming Surgeries for Minors" sites.google.com/view/liz-h-s...
Which wind up being comparable as a percent of trans teens, to the numbers of similar surgeries - whether or not they're cosmetic - for cis teens as a percent of cis teens. (see lower portion of this page for data and sources) sites.google.com/view/liz-h-s...
Of course there are many willing to lie in court. Look at the lawyers from our current DOJ lying about all sorts of things to courts and seem proud of the fact.
