Monique Robles, MD, is a board certified pediatric critical care physician. She received her bachelor of science degree in biology from Texas Woman's University, where she participated in athletics and graduated Magna Cum Laude. She then earned her medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX. While there, she founded the organization, Physicians for Life. She completed her residency in pediatrics and fellowship in pediatric critical care at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, TX She received a certificate in Health Care Ethics from the National Catholic Bioethics Center and went on to complete a Master of Science in Bioethics at the University of Mary. Her capstone project focused on the growing trend of gender dysphoria in children and adolescents.
In an era of evidence-based medicine, gender dysphoria is somehow exempt. As a pediatric critical care physician, I became interested in the topic of gender dysphoria while pursuing further studies in bioethics. Gender dysphoria was not a topic I encountered during my medical school and residency training. I began to wonder: how have over forty gender identity clinics associated with children's hospitals appeared in just over a decade?
