The first Planned Parenthood affiliate began providing hormone therapy in 2005, according to its website. Forty-five affiliates offer hormone treatments – such as testosterone, estrogen and puberty blockers – under an informed consent model. Some of their clinics offer those treatments to children, depending on the location, according to Planned Parenthood's annual report for 2022-23.
Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, who was a medical doctor before joining politics, has strongly criticized Planned Parenthood for being "opaque" in its reporting practices on transgender procedures – raising questions about whether spikes in an undisclosed category in its annual reports are from its gender program.
