Harvard Medical School students can learn how to provide medical care for babies who are supposed to be LGBTQIA+, according to a course catalog description.
In the “Caring for Patients with Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, and Sexual Development” course, which is regularly available at the school, students are offered the opportunity to work with “patients [who] identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or asexual,” as first reported by The College Fix.
“Clinical exposure and education will focus on serving people of sexual and gender minorities throughout life, from infants to older adults,” the course description reads.

The course also allows students to “engage in a mentor-led academic endeavor” such as “advocacy, quality improvement, medical education, original research, or public health project.”
Serving as the main meeting place for the medical school’s 2022-23 academic year, Massachusetts General Hospital offers a variety of transgender surgical procedures for people 18 and older, as well as resources for transgender youth, such as referrals to LGBTQ support groups.

The hospital created the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in the US, according to the Center for Gender Surgery website.

“Harvard medical students should be taught the basic scientific truth that a man cannot become a woman, or vice versa,” Nathanael Blake, an ethicist at the Center for Ethics and Public Policy, told The College Fix.

“Those who experience psychological distress regarding their biological sex should be treated with compassion, which does not mean subjecting them to dangerous chemical and surgical treatments to mold them into a facsimile of the opposite sex,” Blake added.
