Yeah, they go through your medical history, and get a prescription on the first visit.

It would not have been walk-in-walk-out. They would have been in there one or two hours.

And they would not have been a child.

Why are you still arguing that minors don't have these procedures done?

I see you've misunderstood my comment. Let me explain again:

Those planned parenthood facilities that prescribe HRT with "informed consent" rather than psychiatric evaluation cannot treat a minor, because a minor cannot give informed consent.

They do give hrt to 16 and 17 year olds, but "The child of a friend walked right into Planned Parenthood with no such diagnosis and walked right out with hormones after one meeting" could not have happened. They would have needed to walk in with their parent or guardian who would have have to have signed the informed consent.

They give hormones to people much younger than 16 or 17, so it's sort of odd that you would present that in a "oh well look they're barely minors anyway" tone, unless you are genuinely uninformed.

But yes, for minors, the parents do need to sign a single form before the clinic sends them on their way.

Planned parenthood don't:

In order to receive gender affirming hormone therapy services you need to be over 18 (or 16-17 with parental consent) and capable of providing consent for services. There are special consents for these services. - https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-mar-monte/patient-resources/gender-affirming-care

Nothing I said was a lie. Their child is 19. He walked in and walked out after one hour-long meeting. That's what I said. That doesn't refute your claim that you need a diagnosis of gender dysphoria before you get cross-sex hormones, because that's what I was replying to, and you are still very wrong, because that is not true, and you're trying to deflect from that.

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Sure. I didn't suspect that you were lying.

I was merely clarifying for the reader that although this was your friend's child, they would have had to have been an adult.

I agree that planned parenthood will prescribe hrt from informed consent at since sites, rather than psychiatric evaluation. I didn't know that.

Yes, you did. You questioned my integrity when you said:

It would not have been walk-in-walk-out. They would have been in there one or two hours. And they would not have been a child.

in response to my saying:

The child of a friend walked right into Planned Parenthood with no such diagnosis and walked right out with hormones after one meeting.

By taking exactly what I said and adding your own interpretation. You added the claim the child must have been underage. You claimed I said they walked in and walked out, when you can clearly see I wrote "after one meeting." You're being disingenuous, and you inferred I was misinterpreting what I claimed "for the reader." You are disingenuous and misread/intentionally misinterpret so that the "reader" would think me a liar. That's not acceptable.

If it means so much to you to be called a liar, do it yourself.
