Dr. Miriam Grossman, a board-certified child psychiatrist, appeared Wednesday before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health.

Grossman told lawmakers that there is no evidence that puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones are life-saving or medically necessary. In fact, there is a significant risk of harm to children who are put on these hormone regimens, she said.

“There is no evidence of long-term benefit, but there is evidence of harm,” Grossman told the panel.

Grossman said that despite what some physicians claim, there is currently no medical standard for transgender hormone treatments for children.
