Dr. Walid Farhat, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, requested a grant to study the effects of cross-sex hormone therapy on rats, acknowledging there is a “lack” of information regarding the long-term side effects of the treatment with minors, according to emails obtained in a public records request.
The application noted that some of the concerns included effects on fertility but suggested “sperm or egg freezing” for children before they begin puberty blockers or cross-sex hormone treatment had been presented as viable options.
“This lack of information is being used by some to delay or deny [gender-affirming hormone treatment] for [transgender, nonbinary and/or gender-diverse] youth, which results in further stress and harm to an already marginalized group,” the application reads.
Seattle Children’s Hospital, similarly, has found that “gender-affirming” therapy would sterilize children and recommended that transgender minor patients undergo “fertility preservation” if they decide to pursue sex-change procedures.
