New numbers reveal the child sex-change mania is worse than we knew

The child sex-change craze is worse than almost anyone realizes — and a Colorado hospital just proved it.

Recently released court documents show that Children’s Hospital Colorado, affiliated with the University of Colorado School of Medicine, prescribed puberty blockers to more than 250 patients and cross-sex hormones to nearly 550 patients in a single year, 2025.

Those are shockingly high numbers — at least 5 to 10 times higher than previously thought.

Those treatments already made this hospital one of the worst abusers of vulnerable and confused children in the country.

But the numbers seen in 2025 are far higher.

In that single year, the hospital gave puberty blockers to twice as many patients as we documented in total over five full years.

They may start with puberty blockers to stop their natural development, continue with cross-sex hormones to change their appearance, and undergo sex-change surgeries as a last step.

Regardless, the court filings prove that Children’s Hospital Colorado is giving invasive and irreversible treatments to mind-boggling numbers of children.

Is this single facility an exception? Probably not.

But not all claims were detectable, like internal Kaiser Permanente claims, and we don’t know how many treatments were paid for out of pocket.

Plus, we know for a fact that some facilities have deliberately hidden this information by using alternate diagnosis codes — perhaps to avoid blowback for basically experimenting on vulnerable kids.

Based on our research, and in light of what’s happening in Colorado, we think it’s fair to estimate that between 20,000 and 25,000 American kids got sex-change treatments in recent years.

A study published in May analyzed the data on Oregon children, ages 8 to 17, who paid for sex-change treatments with insurance, both Medicaid and private plans, using a database that includes about 80% of Oregonians with any kind of insurance.

The topline finding is terrifying: Between 2016 and 2023, more than 1 out of every 250 biological girls by age 17 took male hormones, while about 1 in 630 biological boys took female hormones by the same age.

That’s not some fringe phenomenon. It is mainstream for Oregon children to believe they need a sex change.

But we may be turning a corner.

Over the past few years, Republican-led states and President Donald Trump’s administration have seriously cracked down on child sex changes.

Many states have banned treatments altogether, and a Trump executive order has opened the door to federal investigations and lawsuits against medical providers that harm kids.

Vulnerable and confused kids will be at risk so long as sex-change treatments for minors are legal anywhere.

The White House and Congress should immediately push for a ban on child surgeries — the most invasive and irreversible treatment for kids.

Ultimately, America needs a national ban on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, too. The Chloe Cole Act, which Congress is debating this week, would do exactly that.

[snip]

It’s not just a shock. It’s unconscionable — and a painful reminder that child sex changes are far more common than most people think.

But the very idea of a child sex change ought to be unthinkable.

Now it’s time to make them impossible.
