(LifeSiteNews) — Clinics in Kansas and Wyoming owned by a “queer-affirming” therapist are writing recommendations for “gender-affirming” care, including surgeries and puberty blockers, for kids as young as 12 years old across the nation via remote Zoom interviews while reportedly circumventing parental consent.
These aren’t fringe facilities. They are a “prototype of a growing system: a fully embedded ideological operation, legitimized by licensing boards, funded by insurance (including Medicaid) and targeting vulnerable youth across state lines,” warned Gays Against Groomers, an organization “fighting to end the war on children from inside the community.”
The clinics, known as Curtis-Baker Therapeutic Services (CBTS) and owned by licensed specialist clinical social worker Curtis-Baker, use a “therapeutic model rooted in intersectional feminism and the rejection of traditional moral or religious worldviews.”
According to Gays Against Groomers, Curtis-Baker “openly advertises WPATH-compliant assessments and referral letters for hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender surgeries for minors.”
“This is not therapy,” Gays Against Groomers declared. “It is ideological indoctrination with a clinical license.”

In January, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order directing all government agencies to “rescind or amend all policies that rely on WPATH guidance.”
The Order called for “ending reliance” on what it referred to as “junk science,” explaining that “the blatant harm done to children by chemical and surgical mutilation cloaks itself in medical necessity, spurred by guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which lacks scientific integrity.”
“What’s especially troubling is how these practices bypass traditional safeguards like parental consent. By framing emotional struggles as confirmation of gender identity, therapists like those at CBTS act as gate-openers rather than gatekeepers, fast-tracking vulnerable youth into lifelong medicalization,” Gays Against Groomers explained “And because this process is often funded through Medicaid or accepted insurance plans, it becomes systematized, normalized, and financially incentivized.”
“The language used — “affirming,” “sex-positive,” “anti-oppression” — is not neutral,” Gays against Groomers noted. “It is the language of social justice, not psychology. These therapists are not simply offering support; they are embedding activism into the very foundation of clinical care.”
Gays Against Groomers then issued a stern warning:
As previously reported by LifeSiteNews, a significant body of evidence shows that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically transformative, and often irreversible surgical and chemical procedures.
Studies have found that more than 80 percent of children suffering gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence and that “transition” procedures fail to resolve gender-confused individuals’ heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide – and even exacerbate it, including by reinforcing their confusion and neglecting the actual root causes of their mental strife.
Many oft-ignored detransitioners attest to the physical and mental harm of reinforcing gender confusion as well as to the bias and negligence of the medical establishment on the subject, many of whom take an activist approach to their profession and begin cases with a predetermined conclusion in favor of “transitioning.”
