Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee has called for an investigation of the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) after shocking videos posted by Matt Walsh detailed a doctor’s promotion of “big money maker” transgender surgeries.
The videos obtained by Walsh also show apparent threats made against medical professionals at VUMC if they objected to the procedures, even for religious reasons.
“The ‘pediatric transgender clinic’ at Vanderbilt University Medical Center raises serious moral, ethical and legal concerns,” Lee said in a statement to The Daily Wire. “We should not allow permanent, life-altering decisions that hurt children or policies that suppress religious liberties, all for the purpose of financial gain. We have to protect Tennessee children, and this warrants a thorough investigation.”
Lee’s comments follow a detailed thread from Daily Wire host and author Matt Walsh on the medical center. In one of the video’s shared by Walsh, VUMC Clinic for Transgender Health’s Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor admitted, “These surgeries are labor intensive, they require a lot of follow-ups, they require a lot of our time, and they make money,” she emphasized. “They make money for the hospital.”
At another Medicine Grand Rounds lecture, staffers are warned by Vanderbilt health law expert Ellen Wright Clayton that any “conscientious objection” will be met with “consequences,” and are told they probably shouldn’t be working at VUMC if they don’t want to participate in the trans surgeries, which include minor patients.
“If you are going to assert conscientious objection, you have to realize that that is problematic,” Clayton said. “You are doing something to another person, and you are not paying the cost for your belief. I think that is a … real issue.”
Clayton said conscientious objectors would be “accommodated,” but said these people have to find someone else to carry out such surgeries for them.
“I just want you to take home that saying that you’re not going to do something because of your conscientious — because of your religious beliefs, is not without consequences, and should not be without consequences,” she stressed. “And I just want to put that out there.”
“We are given an enormous — if you don’t want to do this kind of work, don’t work at Vanderbilt,” she stressed.
The medical center has also detailed transgender surgeries and treatments available for minors. Video from the Vanderbilt Psychiatry YouTube channel reveals the medical center “explicitly [admits] that they will give and have given irreversible hormone drugs to children as young as 13,” Walsh wrote.
“So, let’s review. Vanderbilt got into the gender transition game admittedly in large part because it is very financially profitable,” he closed the Twitter thread. “They then threatened any staff members who objected, and enlisted a gang of trans activists to act as surveillance in order to force compliance.”
“They now castrate, sterilize, and mutilate minors as well as adults, while apparently taking steps to hide this activity from the public view,” Walsh added. “This is what ‘health care’ has become in modern America.”
The Daily Wire reached out to Vanderbilt, but it did not provide a comment.
That all started with "all we want is tolerance"
which morphed into "all we want is acceptance"
which morphed into "all we want is civil unions"
which morphed into "all we want is legal marriage"
which morphed into "you will kneel at the altar of our gayness and celebrate it"
which morphed into "all we want is drag queens for story hour with 5 year olds
which morphed into "it's ok for 9 year old boys to twerk in a gay bar for money"
which is morphing into "pedophilia is an accepted sexual desire".
Give them a da*n inch and they don't quit...
ALL involved deserve much more than that!
Remove all body parts including penis and clitoris of the offending ex-doctors
The slippery slope predicted by the Pro-life people and derided by millions.

knowing all this.....
As my mama says, if God does not judge this country, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Exactly. It was all about the money. These sad individuals with gender dysphoria think they're being supported when they're only being exploited.
Forget the Investigation.
SHUT IT DOWN AND ARREST THOSE CRIMINALS WHO MUTILATE CHILDREN.
Where is common decency in this country.
America has become the most wicked country on the planet.
1. Vanderbilt health law expert Ellen Wright Clayton
2. Wall
3. Firing squad
“Disfigurement SURGERIES ON CHILDREN of their physical characteristics to satisfy some immature, perverse desire to change their sex should be met with prosecution and LONG prison terms.”
Remember a few years ago when the liberals were all upset about the Muslims and the Female Genital Mutilation they’d do to young girls?
Why is it okay when liberals do the same thing?
I agree
Governor Lee is complicit. The investigation is a sham.
Any reasonably informed citizen knew that this evil nonsense is widespread. Are we to believe that he, all his aides, all his health care experts.commmissioners, and assitant commissioners didnt ever think to see what if it was going on in Tennessee?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT LIST!
Looks like a LESBO!
It’s a video, not someone’s “revelation”
Gaydar reading indicates high probability.
criminal
When I was growing up in Florida, 5 year olds could not go in a bar. Period , If they did someone went to jail.
Gov. Lee knew all about this and was all for it. It’s about money and taking advantage of idiot parents and poor kids who don’t know what they want.
It’s is criminal. If someone over 18 wants to go through this, fine, but poor underage kids don’t know what they want at that age and the parents are just plain dumb.
What happened to Vandy, they use to have strong moral ethics.
