After President Donald Trump’s effective end to the flow of taxpayer-funded extreme gender ideology, hospitals around the country claim to be putting an end to their child disfigurement and sterilization programs.
Organizations whose stream of federal income dollars is threatened by their involvement in life-altering and frequently continuous operations announced their plans to scale those up or even stop them completely less than a week after Trump’s huge executive order.
Two visits supposedly set aside to give children drugs that would biologically decapitate them were slowly canceled by New York University Langone Health. As the New York Times noted on Saturday, however, the hospital system “has not made any public announcements” about the future of its mutilation and sterilization programs.
Denver Health informed the Associated Press that it would stop performing “gender” surgeries for minors in order to maintain its status as a taxpayer of more than$ 89 million annually. As the AP pointed out, however, it is “unclear” whether the hospital will continue the cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers also barred under Trump’s order. Denver Health instead emphasized that Trump’s order is “broadly worded” and “engaged in advancing radical gender ideology in ways unrepresented by the White House’s reach, such as transgender voice therapy,” according to KUSA.
Denver Health is one of only a select few providers of comprehensive care to all of our patients, including those who are LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse. We will continue to provide primary and behavioral health care to all impacted youth as we navigate the requirements of the order, and we will work to uphold the trust we have built with the LGBTQ+ community,” Denver Health said in a statement.
While purportedly ending gender surgeries and cross-sex hormones for patients under the age of 19, UCHealth also pledged to continue providing “behavioral health services” that” will be available to help support our patients as they navigate these changes,” Both Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and VCU Health are doing the same.
The Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., which did not perform genital mutilation, announced it is” currently pausing all puberty blockers and hormone therapy prescriptions for transgender youth patients, per the recommendations in the Executive Order issued by the White House this week.”
Other hospital networks, despite receiving federal funding, were even less committed to observing Trump’s order.
According to Becker’s Hospital Review, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia claimed it is” closely reviewing recent government actions, including the executive order on January 28,” but that organization embodied the pledge with the desire to “understand how they might impact care for the children who rely on it.” Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital similarly claimed it would be “reviewing” the order but would” continue to advocate for access to medically necessary care, grounded in science and compassion for the patient-families we are so privileged to serve”.
The executive order specifically does not mention institutions that have garnered media attention for their use of grotesque procedures and surgeries to treat minors.
Boston Children’s Hospital, which previously advertised its butchering of healthy kids , in a string of disturbing videos, did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment. Despite government efforts to end it, BCH’s” Gender Multispecialty Service” webpage is still plastered with a message promising to advance the physical adaptations that come with radical gender ideology.
The Oregonian school, OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, stated in The Federalist that it is “evaluating the potential effects of the executive order and continues to ensure our patients continue to receive respectful, quality care,” but it did not specify whether it plans to end mutilation and castration.
Turning off the federal funding faucet is a common tactic to enact top-down change, but it’s not a guarantee. Hospitals that claim to be complying with Trump’s order could easily continue conducting sex-swapping shenanigans in violation of Lone Star State law, as Texas Children’s Hospital did in defiance of the law.
The largest children’s hospital in the U. S. claimed , in 2022, shortly after Gov. Greg Abbott , ordered , his Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate the” transing” of children as abuse, that it would no longer offer chemical castration to pediatric patients. However, as whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim’s revelations revealed, TCH doctors continued to perform transgender interventions on children as young as 11 years old.
The Trump administration is well-versed in Haim’s story and played a significant role in the dismissal of the Biden administration’s lawfare case against him. This is why it should be on high alert for uprising from other large hospitals throughout the country.
While the medical facilities that value their tax dollars assert that they will comply with Trump’s orders, many are from blue states known for using their resources to challenge his authority.
More importantly, most are still openly devoted to advancing transgenderism. Some institutions are already attempting to evade the purpose of the executive action by promoting the social contagion through indoctrination masquerading as counseling to protect children from the dangers of radical gender ideology.
