A leading parental rights organization called Parents Defending Education (PDE) has made a shocking discovery about schools in Seattle, Washington. They have found that these schools are providing free hormone medication and sex-reassignment operations to children as young as 11.

According to documents released this week by PDE, health clinics at Meany Middle School and Nova High School, both located in Seattle, are offering on-site and free care to children. However, critics argue that taxpayers will likely be the ones paying for these services.

The provider for these facilities, Country Doctor Community Health Facilities (CDCHC), has promised to provide medications and operations to children and teenagers.

CDCHC’s website states that their mission is to promote health in transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse communities by ensuring equal access to gender-affirming medications and procedures.

Erika Sanzi, PDE’s head of outreach, strongly condemned the schools’ involvement in “gender-affirming care” for children.

“It’s terrible enough that doctors are prescribing cross-sex hormones and performing surgeries on minors,” Sanzi said.

“Involving schools is a whole other level of dreadful and scary,” she added.

While puberty blockers are still prohibited for pre-pubescents, children as young as 10–11 will be able to obtain cross-sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone at two primary care clinics managed by CDCHC in other parts of the city.

According to documents received by PDE from the Seattle Public School, both clinics are fully staffed and offer comprehensive, trauma-informed, and gender-affirming care.

“The Nova Wellness Center offers no-cost comprehensive, trauma-informed, and gender-affirming care, conveniently at the school,’ the passage reads, before listing and specifying some of the services it offers, including ‘gender-reaffirming care,” the documents said. “We bill appropriate services to insurance if you have it… There are never any co-pays or co-insurance to worry about.”

“We also offer services and support to students and families without insurance,” the documents concluded.

The Nova Wellness Center also provides therapy at no cost and with a trauma-informed approach, as stated on its website.

Since the announcement of this policy on Tuesday, parents have expressed their displeasure with it.

“The combination of the district’s parental exclusion policies, and its provision of dubious medical interventions to change a child’s sex, creates a really troubling situation for Seattle families,” said Alex Nester, an investigative researcher for PDE.
