Contra the Left, Child Mutilation Surgeries Are Happening

The transgenderism cult goes after kids mainly for the money.

Gender transition is not a real thing. A male cannot become a female or vice versa. The actual psychological condition, gender identity disorder, is exceedingly rare and generally manifests in young boys.

Gender dysphoria, or transgenderism, is a cultural hysteria and social contagion. And even with the broadening of the diagnosis (from gender identity disorder to transgenderism), we are still talking about a minuscule percentage of the population.

And yet, the propaganda promoting this cult-like doctrine and ideology has been specifically targeted toward children. Activists are particularly upset when lawmakers and/or parents object to them indoctrinating kids as young as kindergarten into this warped ideology.

What’s worse is that many of the American medical institutions are behind this push as well. After all, the more gender-confused kids there are, the bigger their business grows for transgender hormone treatments and gender mutilation surgeries.

The Biden-Harris White House has long been claiming that gender surgeries aren’t being done on young people. Yet more and more detransitioners are coming out of the woodwork to tell their stories.

Even more concrete than anecdotes is the actual data.

According to the findings of watchdog group Do No Harm, “Nearly 14,000 American children underwent sex-change interventions of some type between 2019 and 2023,” The Daily Signal reports.

Do No Harm was able to track down these medical “interventions” via insurance data. This also means that the numbers are likely undercounted, as hospitals and clinics are known to hide these medical interventions under other insurance codes.

What Biden and company have claimed “hasn’t been happening” has been happening, and it’s occurring more and more often. Just like Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Texas Children’s Hospital, hospitals across the country have been cashing in on the golden goose of gender confusion.

There are 225 hospitals that provide gender mutilation surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones to children. “Almost 6,000 children have undergone transgender surgeries,” according to the Signal, “while 8,579 have been given hormones and puberty blockers.” Furthermore, Do No Harm found “at least $119,791,202 made from sex change treatments performed on minors.”

Money is clearly at the heart of this cultish malpractice.

Do No Harm also lists the top 12 worst offending hospitals. The worst is Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, also known as CHOP, which is a bit too on-brand, considering it’s the leader in chopping up healthy children for the sake of a faulty ideology. “The hospital has treated 122 child sex-change patients,” the Signal notes. “Five children are transgender surgery patients, while 117 are on hormone-replacement regimens and puberty blockers. It has written 768 ‘gender-affirming care’ prescriptions, totaling $230,784 in submitted charges.”

It’s absolutely sickening the pipeline these hospitals put vulnerable children through. They are happy to support whatever makes them globs of money. The activists are happy to do the groundwork in order for their ideology to be justified. And boy, are they selling their propaganda hard.

According to National Review, “More than 3 percent of American high-school students now identify as transgender while just over 2 percent are questioning their gender, according to the first ever CDC survey on teen gender identification. … The share of high-school students who identify as transgender (3.3 percent) is up 1.9 percent from 2022, according to a report by the Williams Institute, an LGBT research nonprofit in California.”

We’ve already sounded the alarm and called out the lie that these hospitals aren’t performing gender mutilation surgeries. In other words, we’ve debunked the Left’s “it’s not happening” lie. Now wait for the second inevitable part — the “it’s good that it’s happening” part — to hit the headlines in a few weeks.

The Left’s strategy is extremely hard to justify, considering that it goes against its own lauded virtue of consent. Children cannot consent because they have no way of understanding long-term consequences (their prefrontal cortex isn’t fully developed).

Thankfully, society at large is rebelling against the tyranny of this ideology.
