Kaiser Permanente’s new mandatory “gender affirming care” staff training promoted the idea that 3- and 4-year-old children can identify as transgender, according to documents obtained by Libs of TikTok.
A Kaiser Permanente employee, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing employment, shared recent training videos featuring minors discussing their so-called gender transition stories. The employee told Libs of TikTok that the employee is concerned the training materials promote the mutilation and castration of children.
The training documents outline “learning objectives” for staff, including being able to “explain the importance of gender affirming care” and “recogniz[ing] the experiences transgender, gender diverse, and intersex patients face.” Additionally, employees must learn the “appropriate terms that allow for understanding and delivering of gender affirming care.”
