BOSTON (AP) — Three major medical associations have asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute people who are threatening violence against children’s hospitals and physicians that provide gender-affirming health care.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the Children’s Hospital Association wrote to Garland on Monday. Their demands come amid a spate of threats against doctors and institutions that provide medical care for transgender kids, sometimes including hormones or surgery for older teens.
Children’s hospitals nationwide have substantially increased security and are working with law enforcement, while some providers now need constant security, the associations said.
Garland did not immediately comment publicly, and a spokesperson did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Tuesday. Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said this summer that the Department of Justice will ensure equal protection of transgender people under the law.
Rollins said she would not let “hate-based criminal activity” continue in her district after Boston Children’s Hospital said in August that its doctors and other staffers were being threatened with violence over its surgical program for transgender youths. The hospital is home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in the United States. Other U.S. children’s hospitals were also being harassed online.

Wait for the Streisand effect.
People will next ask: why are people threatening children’s hospitals?
Then they’ll learn that these children’s hospitals are amputating the breasts of young girls and castrating young boys.
Then watch it hit the fan.
This is a BS way to silence critics. The medical associations know that threating is a crime, but they are counting on the FBI Storm Troopers to assign mere criticism as a Federal hate crime or threat. Look what they intended to do to parents that opposed the demonic actions of school boards.
Garland doesn’t need to investigate to conclude white supremists are behind the threats, no matter what the evidence shows.
“Threats?”
Yeah, I’d like to see those.
Has a single person been prosecuted yet for these so-called “terror threats?”
These are no longer medical groups; haven’t been for a long time. They are nothing but political front groups.
The AMA has been losing membership steadily for over 20 years. Real, honest medical doctors don’t want any part of their activism.
Those who mutilate children for profit and in order to appease delusional children and adults ought to be afraid.
If red states were wise they would ensure that school district employees could not claim qualified immunity to these suits.
POOR use of the English language to call this gender crap “HEALTH CARE”.
Dr. Mengele’s Satanic disfigurement of children must go on.
What kind of nation has this and allows this Satanic abuse of children?
It’s not gender affirming— it’s gender denying.
Child exual mutilation.... plain and simple. And they’re allowed to do it.
What a sick society we’ve become.
The “associations” are anything but medical anymore.
