The popular online job-searching website Indeed is offering its American employees and their immediate family members $10,000 for relocation expenses if they want to leave a state that has imposed restrictions on transgender medical services, such as rules that prohibit sex change surgeries for children according to a report from Axios.
This also applies to states that prohibit other policies that the company believes restrict support for children who identify as transgender or nonbinary.
The policy went into effect in July of 2023, but was first reported by Axios on Aug. 30. CNA could not reach Indeed for comment.
"Our transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming colleagues are integral to our business and culture at Indeed," Misty Gaither, vice president of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at Indeed, told Axios.
“We know employees thrive and do their best work when they can bring their authentic selves to work,” Gaither said. "We also believe that everyone has the right to make the healthcare decisions that they feel are right for themselves and their families.”
More than 20 states have imposed new laws that prevent doctors from providing puberty-blocking drugs or transgender surgeries for minors over the past few years. The laws follow moves in some European countries to put the brakes on these services for minors.
The laws vary by state, but many prohibit surgeries that remove a child’s genitals or reconstruct his or her genitals to resemble the genitals of the opposite sex. These surgeries generally sterilize the child.
In many states, other cosmetic surgeries are prohibited for minors if they remove a healthy part of the body and are meant to facilitate a gender transition. In several of these states, the law also prohibits doctors from prescribing drugs that halt or delay the normal development of puberty and hormone treatments that provide the child with more estrogen or testosterone than what would be normal in a healthy child of that age and sex.
Jay Richards, the director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family at the Heritage Foundation, criticized Indeed’s decision to provide these benefits to workers.
“Plenty of American corporations think that the benefits of woke policies exceed the costs, and this policy by Indeed is surely an example of this,” Richards told CNA.
“In mid-2023, the company thinks the publicity from this stunt is worth the nominal cost,” Richards said. “After all, how many employees really want to move to a state where their child can have their development frozen in place, and their fertility compromised?”
Richards added that he believes “when these procedures are exposed for the atrocity they are, Indeed will drop the policy.”
“No doubt, they will hope customers don’t remember that the company spent money to make sure kids had access to sterilizing drugs and surgery,” Richards continued. “We should remember it.”
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that patients between the ages of 12 and 18 made up nearly 8% of transgender surgeries between 2016 and 2020. It is estimated that this age range accounted for about 3,678 total surgeries.
The study found that in the younger patients, about 87% received chest surgeries, such as removing healthy breasts in girls or putting prosthetic breasts in boys. About 11% of patients in the age range of 12-18 received genital surgeries, which amounts to about 405 people.
Sounds like a win-win for the states the prohibit child mutilation.
“What a company to work for. They will pay you to mutilate your children.”
Transgender mutilations will continue until liability lawsuits put an end to them. In a few years we’ll be seeing advertisements like, “Were you sexually mutilated? If so, call Goldberg & Rosen, personal injury. Justice! It’s all we do!”
The astonishing thing is, I’ll bet Indeed’s in house lawyer warned them not do this. It’s as bad as the Bud Light Dylan Mulvany commercial. But both companies went ahead and did it anyway.
I recently discovered one of my primary clients was using indeed. I’d never seen/heard/used it prior to last week.
What a POS application. Website looks designed by a 12-year-old who’s never used one before and their fee schedule is appalling. This doesn’t surprise me in the least.
They think that they’re the only players in town by tanking X; they’re wrong, despite their dismissal of the bud light effect.
They’ll get what’s coming.
This sounds like a pass-through payment where Indeed, the recruiter, is giving $10,000 to an employee who is relocating moving but the actual money is from the employer who doesn’t want it to be known they’re paying for such reasons as supporting the mutilation and castration of children by a mentally ill parent.

Then your business and culture must be shut down. Indeed!
A lot of adults clearly hate children, and they will not hesitate, in fact, some appear to actually enjoy harming children mentally and physically when the opportunity presents itself or when they are able to come up with “a good reason” to do so.
So what’ll happen if people use it as an excuse to move since they wanted to move anyways, but never intend to have the procedures?
Their father, the devil, also hates children.
What an Insane company to work for.
I would file if I were moving to another state.
My dog, a male, recently started playing with a pink toy.
He told me he identifies as a female human.
Gimme my monayyyyyyyy, beyotches!!!!! 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
So, now they are dumping mentally ill people on their clients by encouraging this behavior and validating it.
Get used to your insurance costs to soar and to have to cover for mentally ill people who need ‘mental health days’ off.
Got bribery?
This ideology is not sustainable. Twenty years from now, the Misty Gaithers of the world will be ostracized and unemployable. Indeed, she will not even be allowed on her own platform. A new “woke” is coming!
