Report: Online Forums Appear To Allow Kids Access To Cross-Sex Hormones Without Prescription
American children may be able to purchase cross-sex hormones for “gender transition” online from foreign and domestic pharmacies without prescriptions, according to a new report from medical watchdog Do No Harm.
Online pharmacies have a remarkable lack of safeguards, according to the report, including not requiring age verification or a prescription before payment. The report noted it was unclear whether those items were required after the transaction had been completed. However, the report also notes an entire web of online forums and sites giving children step-by-step instructions for obtaining and self-administering the drugs.
