Examination of the draft Act amending the Act on Doctors and Dentist Competition by the Committee on Petitions
The draft provides for a ban on the exercise of a ‘transition’, that is to say, an operation alleged ‘sex change’ to minors, incapacitated or suffering from intellectual disorders preventing informed consent – by adding a fresh Article 34a to the Act on Doctor and Dentist Competition and adding paragraph 2a to Article 58. In accordance with the proposed Article 34a, unacceptable to a minor, partially or wholly incapacitated, or in which neurodevelopmental disorders, diseases or intellectual disorders have been identified, including personality disorders, or for another reasons incapable of informed consent, despite their full capacity for legal action, would henceforth have been "the conduct of an operation or another medical action in order to get sex characteristics typical of the other sex to the male or female patient, recognised at birth", in peculiar "the removal of sexual glands, the usage of sex hormones and their analogues, the interference in the functioning of the sexual glands and the action of the sex hormones produced by them, the removal or improvement of secondary and tertiary sexual characteristics". The proposed Article 58(2) provides, on the another hand, for the introduction of a word of imprisonment of up to 3 years for persons carrying out an operation or another medical activities referred to in Article 34a.
An extended 37-page justification was attached to a comparatively short project. It points out that “in fresh years, in many countries around the world, peculiarly in Europe and North America, there has been a drastic increase in the number of minors declaring recognition with sex other their gender. In particular, statistic on reports to specialised medical centres performing hormonal and surgical interventions on children are alarming, with the consequence that "in Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom and in 19 [now 25 – O.I.] the United States has stopped or radically reduced the taking of medical interventions towards minors to match the other sex. In another countries, far-reaching caution in their usage was recommended, highlighting the experimental nature of the above model. In the light of the above, the deficiency of regulations in Poland to defend minors from activities disrupting their sexual development, having the characteristics of an experimentation and having irreversible consequences for their wellness and life creates the request for legislative intervention."
Discussion on the ban on the transit of minors and the reactions of Members
During the press conference, where the task was presented, prof. Joanna Smyczyńska, a kid endocrinologist, besides spoke, stressing the inadequacy of the word "sex change": "From a medical point of view, something specified as "sex change" is simply not possible. We can't change the genetic information we have in all cell for life. We are incapable to change the sexual glands we have." Rafał Dorosiński, a associate of the Ordo Iuris Board, pointed out the scale of the problem: “In the United States and Europe, in the last 10 years, the number of cases of targeting young people, children, teenagers to alleged sex clinics, dealing with sexual transit, has increased by hundreds and even thousands of percent. In Sweden, the UK, Italy, France, the number of specified cases went up.” president Ordo Iuris Adw. Jerzy Kwasniewski stressed that public awareness of what the alleged "transaction" is is increasing: "We realize more and more that a young man subject to cultural pressure, fashion force to whom we refuse the anticipation of smoking, buying alcohol, cannot give informed consent to undergo irreversible physical changes consisting in depriving him of fertility capacity." Between 14 and 17 July 2023, the Social Change investigation laboratory carried out in turn Public opinion poll, whose results indicate that the ban on transit supports as many as 69% of Poles, and only 12% opposes this ban.
20 March 2024. his Opinion on the draft (letter No. BEOS-WP-244/24) published the Bureau of Experts and Evaluation of the Effects of the Law Office of the Sejm. By refusing to express its full approval of the project, it besides accepted the intention to regulate the prohibition of transit against minors.
On 23 July 2024, in a discussion on the task in the Committee on Petitions, the scepticism against the ban on transit of children was expressed by those known for their public sympathy towards the demands of the LGBT+ movement, Members of the Civic Coalition Marcin Józefaciuk and Krzysztof Mieszkowski. erstwhile president of the Sławomir Jan Piechota committee expressed his opinion that the task was besides systemic for the Committee on Petitions, which on a regular basis alternatively deals with point regulation projects. The vice-president of the Urszula committee, however, stressed that "[the project] is refined, the argument is very elaborate, well prepared, here chapeau bass, truly these arguments are very, very many” (13:28:05-13:28:13), although there are both arguments for and against in this debate, the draft should be submitted to the applicable parliamentary committees, the wellness Committee and the Committee on Justice and Human Rights. This proposal was welcomed by the president of the committee, Rafał Bochenk, and was unanimously approved and will so be subject to further parliamentary work within the applicable committees.
