However, \u200dnow these surgeries will no\u2063 longer be available \u200bfor individuals aged 18 and\u200d older.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this change, Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado will continue to provide\u200b controversial\u2063 puberty blockers and hormone therapies to children, according to Rachael Fowler, a spokesperson for the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Fowler\u200c stated that this decision was not taken\u2064 lightly, as the hospital\u2063 has been facing an overwhelming number of referrals. She also mentioned that\u200d the hospital\u2064 has faced\u2062 backlash over the controversial treatments, which may have influenced their choice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Protecting Safety Amid Threats<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2023\/07\/18\/childrens-hospital-colorado-transgender-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speaking<\/a> to The Denver Post, Fowler revealed that children&#8217;s hospitals nationwide have \u2062been directly threatened due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-may-soon-face-emergency-appeal-on-trans-surgery-for-kids\/\" title=\"SCOTUS may soon receive urgent appeal on transgender surgery for minors.\">gender-affirming \u200bcare<\/a> they provide. As a result, Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado has taken measures \u2064to ensure the safety of their team members, patients,\u2062 and families.<\/p>\n<p>The Denver Post also reported \u200cthat the hospital has removed\u2063 several references to &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/god-loves-me-10-year-old-trans-child-quotes-bible-to-tell-tx-legislators-why-they-shouldnt-ban-trans-surgeries-procedures-for-minors\/\" title=\"\u2018God Loves Me\u2019: 10-Year-Old Trans Child Quotes Bible To Tell TX Legislators Why They Shouldn\u2019t Ban Trans Surgeries, Procedures For Minors\">gender-affirming care<\/a>&#8221; from its website.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding Transgender Surgeries<\/h3>\n<p>While the \u2063state of Colorado has recognized transgender surgeries and treatments \u200cfor minors \u2063as a &#8220;right,&#8221; approximately 20 \u200dstates are actively working to \u200brestrict these procedures. These states argue that such interventions can cause irreparable harm and lack true consent.<\/p>\n<p>One notable case is that \u2062of Soren Aldaco, a 21-year-old woman from Texas who no longer identifies as transgender. Aldaco is suing her doctors for over $1 \u200cmillion, \u200dclaiming that the medical interventions she received as a teenager have \u2064left her permanently damaged.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Aldaco and her lawyer, Ron Miller, are seeking accountability and justice in her case.

By doing so, they believe \u200bthat practitioners will be \u2062less inclined\u2063 to take \u200dthe risk, ultimately leading to a\u200b decrease\u2062 in such procedures.<\/p>\n<p>In her \u2062lawsuit, filed in July, \u200cAldaco alleges that medical \u2064professionals\u2063 in Texas prioritized their ideology over her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-n-report-billions-of-people-around-the-globe-in-danger-from-climate-change\/\" title=\"U.N.
