Marci Bowers, a gynecologist specializing in sex change surgeries, has endorsed using puberty blockers on minors after once warning they may cause sexual dysfunction.
Detransitioner Cat Cattinson joined 'The Ingraham Angle' to explain several risks and side effects of puberty blockers despite Planned Parenthood saying they are safe.
Before joining WPATH, however, Bowers held views considered controversial in the transgender health space. "I had concerns about initiating hormone blockers for children because it affected their surgical results that might affect how they respond sexually. And I got a lot of backlash on the left also for people who felt like I was abandoning the cause," she said.
In 2019, Bowers performed Jennings' vaginoplasty surgery at age 17. The surgery had a series of complications — including when it split apart, requiring a visit to the emergency room – and numerous revision surgeries. It appears that sometime after the surgery, Bowers became opposed to administering puberty blockers to minors at the Tanner 2 stage.
However, according to the most recent standards from WPATH, which Bowers endorsed, it stated they"recommend[ed] health care professionals begin pubertal hormone suppression… after [transgender children] first exhibit physical changes of puberty ."
