The Federal Trade Commission (the agency responsible for protecting consumers from deceptive\/unfair business practices) announced at a recent workshop<\/a> that investigations are underway to \u201cexamine whether some of the practices in gender-affirming care are deceptive and require greater scrutiny,\u201d particularly for minors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood, which claims that abortion \u2018<\/span>goes hand in hand<\/span><\/a>\u2019 with \u2018<\/span>transgender care<\/span><\/a>,‘ has become one of its top providers, openly targeting minors for these so-called \u201cservices” and even prescribing hormones upon first visit. Any investigation into “gender-affirming care” should surely include this organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
