President Trump’s crackdown on gender ideology hasn’t stopped a major medical organization from continuing to promote child sex changes through a multi-million dollar transgender affirming training program offered by its philanthropic arm, public records show.
The American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation launched an LGBTQ medical fellowship in 2021 that offers up to $750,000 grants to academic medical centers to provide “affirming” medical education that trains young doctors to become child sex-change advocates, initiate cross-sex hormones and care for sex-change surgical patients, records show. Top academic medical centers across the country, including the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard Medical School, Vanderbilt University and Mount Sinai, have partnered with the AMA Foundation to develop LGBTQ fellowships and provide doctors with “experiential learning” opportunities such as following a transgender patient through the sex-change surgery process, providing medical interventions at a child sex-change clinic and learning to provide cross-sex hormones to gender-confused teenagers.
On Sept. 10, 2025, Harvard Medical School listed on its LGBTQ+ fellowship program website that participating doctors had a rotation in “pediatric and adolescent transgender health care” at Boston Children’s Gender Multispecialty Service. However, this description was removed after the DCNF reached out to the LGBTQ fellowship program leadership for comment and did not receive a response.
“The idea that this is normal treatment — that any child that feels confused about their gender ought to get put on these pathways and ought to get affirmed, and ought to get hormones and puberty blockers, and ultimately, surgical procedures — it’s really incredibly dangerous,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, board chairman of Do No Harm told the DCNF.
In June 2025 the AMA Foundation awarded Dr. Elle Lett, a man who identifies as a “transgender woman,” the 2025 Excellence in LGBTQ Health Award for his work on “health equity for queer and trans people of color.”
“This award demonstrates that a career focused on supporting the excluding and marginalized populations in our society through advocacy, research, and organizing is a viable and lauded path for the next generation of physicians,” the AMA foundation said in a Sept. 9 X post.
Additionally, the AMA Foundation awarded a grant to Galaei, a Philadelphia based organization that provides “services, support and advocacy for all Queer, Trans, Indigenous and People of Color (QTBIPOC) communities,” in honor of Dr. Lett, according to its website.

Promoting ‘Junk Science’
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard Medical School and Vanderbilt University, were listed as being actively funded through the AMA Foundation LGBTQ Fellowship program in July 2025 on an archived webpage that has been removed from the AMA Foundation website. The Harvard Medical School, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Vanderbilt University LGBTQ programs are recruiting doctors for a fellowship program beginning in July 1, 2026, according to their websites.
The inaugural four-year fellowship grant was awarded to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and as part of their clinical rotation fellows provided medical services at the UW Health‘s pediatric sex-change clinic. The currently clinic uses standards created by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), which have been called “junk science” by the Trump administration, to provide puberty blockers and cross sex hormones’ to children, according to its website.
“Our team offers a full range of care and support based on the needs of the child and family. This ranges from observation, advocacy, and guidance to puberty suppression and gender-affirming hormone therapy,” states the UW Health website.
Dr. Brittany Allen, co-medical director of the UW Health’s pediatric gender clinic, described herself as the “pediatrics champion” of the inaugural 2021 LGBTQ+ fellowship and helped develop its curriculum. Allen’s emails revealed the learning objectives for LGBTQ fellowship participants had a significant focus on child sex-changes.
Doctors were expected to identify when gender-confused children were candidates for puberty blockers, be aware of the fertility implications of puberty blockers and understand “best practices and advocacy within school settings.” Allen is an influential child sex change activist and of one of four American Academy of Pediatrics doctors that helped pressure WPATH to remove sex-change surgery age limits from clinical guidance.
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, UW Health and Allen did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
Dismantling White Supremacy
In addition to promoting child sex changes, the LGBTQ Fellowship focuses on combatting “structural racism” in health care, according to the learning objectives obtained by the DCNF from the University of Wisconsin-Madison program. The objectives stated fellows would learn to understand how structural racism is inherent in health care, identify where they were in their “journey of becoming an anti-racist” and apply an equity lens when caring for patients.
In 2021, the AMA articulated its vision of equipping doctors to “dismantle white supremacy” and create equitable health care systems in its first strategic health equity plan which outlined how it could embed racial justice and health equity into the organization.
Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, which have been determined to be illegal by the Supreme Court, undermine the trust between Americans and their doctors Goldfarb told the DCNF.
“The Supreme Court has decided, basically, that DEI is unfair in admissions,” Goldfarb told the DCNF.
“I think this whole agenda undermines the trust of the American people in their physicians. It also gives physicians a very false idea of what what their role should be. Their role should be to take care of the person in front of them in the best way possible, and not factor in race or anything else. But factor in what’s in the patient’s best clinical interest and look at them as an individual and not look at them as some identity that is part of an identity group,” Goldfarb stated.
The AMA has received $15,815,180 in federal funding since 2020, according to the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The AMA told the DCNF these funds have gone towards initiatives meant to improve the U.S. public health infrastructure and workforce.
President Trump signed executive orders on January 20, 2025, prohibiting the use of federal funds to promote gender ideology, the false idea that men and women can change their sex, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives (DEI).
‘Multiplier Effect’
An AMA Foundation webinar discussing the fellowship program revealed its goals included training hundreds of doctors through the LGBTQ fellowship program, expanding LGBTQ medical education and cultivating LGBTQ institutional leaders. Dr. Jacqueline Bellow, a member of the AMA Foundation Fellowship Commission on LGBTQ Health, said the organization hoped developing institutional LGBTQ leaders that would have a “multiplier effect” on health care systems.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s 2021 LGBTQ Fellowship grant application, obtained by the DCNF, showed the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and UW Health planned to collectively invest more than $7 million in the LGBTQ Fellowship program, with the hope of recruiting fellows to fill positions in their programs, according to the grant application. UW Health’s Gender Services Program experienced a 60% increase in gender care medical visits from 2018 to 2020, seeing 1,732 unique sex-change patients, performing 209 surgeries and 2,162 “medical gender-affirming care encounters” in 2020, according to the grant application.
Goldfarb testified before the House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee on Sept. 16 on how throughout the country identity politics have infiltrated the practice of medicine.
“The problem could not be clearer. We are witnessing hospitals that should be committed to serving the sick diverting their attention to political activism,” stated Goldfarb. “They are spending millions on DEI bureaucracies and on so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for children when these resources could be put to far better use expanding cancer treatment, building trauma centers, or making primary care more affordable. This is a profound betrayal of their public mission,” stated Goldfarb.
So I started writing politicians and posting articles here on Free Republic, which seems to have helped raise awareness and spurred action since that time. But today I read the above article and see the monsters have been just as busy pushing their Josef Mengele agenda despite public outcry and legislative efforts made to protect the children they ruin for profit.
This is a spiritual war. We aren’t going to win this without turning back to God. It seems the younger generations understand this.
“The American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation launched an LGBTQ medical fellowship in 2021 that offers up to $750,000 grants to academic medical centers to provide “affirming” medical education that trains young doctors to become child sex-change advocates.”
It’s bad enough that the AMA simply REFUSES to tell the truth about the HORRIFIC consequences of modern carb-loaded foods and even pushes them on DIABETICS. And now they’re grooming doctors to turn normal kids into MURDERERS...perhaps they need Cash Patel ‘love’ too.
Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Mengele in conjunction with American / International drug cartels.
While money is a prime motivator there has to be something more to make such a large group of traditionally trusted professionals turn to harming a generation of youth they KNOW are at the age of vulnerability to influence combined with no comprehension of long-term damage.
They can’t vote, buy liquor, join the military or even drive in most places but are allowed to do this? Senseless carnage and making problems where they didn’t exist makes me think Satan is very real and warming up for the Final Act.
They need more shock troops.

Ugh ... thanks for the ping.
We need a quick stop to this nonsense.
JMO. These trans surgeries should be banned in this country.
Also the opposite sex hormones treatments should be banned.
This is criminal malpractice no different than sewing an arm onto a person’s head because they think it belongs there.
Ugh ... thanks for the ping. We need a quick stop to this nonsense.
Thx for moving on this.
Please oh Lord
Help us in correcting
This Evil Activety.
When the last relative I am close to died, a black person from the hospital’s ministry came into the room and spoke on racism. He also said a prayer, but frankly, I remember almost nothing. In a Catholic hospital, at the deathbed.
I was appalled and revulsed, if that is a word.
Please oh Lord, Help us in correcting This Evil Activity.
God helps those who help themselves.

Unbelievably Wicked.
.
To Steal,Kill and Destroy is
Our enemies objective.
Using sex to ensnare the
Young and Depraved.
The now-obvious psycho violence aspect. Charlie Kirk was murdered by what, the eighth or ninth ‘trans-infatuated’ individual we’ve had in the last few years? Had those people gotten proper diagnosis and treatment a score of innocent people would still be alive.
What these doctors are doing is quite the opposite - creating monsters.
Evil is real. Inside the Criminal Mind - Stanton Samenow. Those are evil individuals involved in destroying human beings. The encouragement of the attack on self is evil. Those who attack self, may go on to attack others. Dr. Frankenstein experiments.
This is horrifying. These people are not doctors, but monsters.
the GOP doesn't want to actually fix the problem because trannies drive mushy middlers to the GOP.We could FIX the tranny problem TOMORROW.
This is exactly what the Democrats are waiting for in the US -- for SCOTUS to solve their tranny problem."Polls show the transgender ideology is deeply unpopular, especially among women and parents. In 2017, former President BarackObama told NPR that his promotion of transgender ideology made it easier for Trump to win the presidency."This could easily be permanently resolved and these butchers be put away the same way the Left destroyed Big Tobacco.The GOP needs to stop trading off the fact that the subject is a good grind against the Democrats at the District level -- as flatly stated by no less than Obama himself -- and the Republicans actually protect their constituents!
Gender Care Master Settlement AgreementThe GCMSA was entered on ________, 2026, between the 4 largest US gender care companies: Planned Parenthood @PPFA, the American Medical Association @AmerMedicalAssn, the American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds, and @WPATH – the "original participating manufacturers", (referred to as the "OPM") and the attorneys general of 46 states. The states settled their lawsuits against the gender care industry for recovery of their gender-related health-care costs.
The companies agreed to curtail or cease certain gender care marketing practices, as well as to pay, in perpetuity, various annual payments to the states to compensate them for some of the medical costs of caring for persons with gender care-related illnesses.
The money also funds a new detransition advocacy clearinghouse, the "Global Truth About Gender Initiative", that is fully-funded for enlightenment campaigns, such as "There Are Only Two Sexes" and "Detransition Now!"; and maintains a public archive of documents resulting from the cases. In the GCSA, the original participating manufacturers (OPM) agreed to pay a minimum of US$1 trillion over the first 25 years of the agreement.
Do you want to know how that was done? Replace "tobacco" with "gender care", that is nearly verbatim the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement.
What the GOP is missing out on, is that bringing this to a halt will take at least a year -- what better quality-of-life issue to run on in 2026 than this Master Settlement Agreement? Fill Committee meetings with detransitioned men and women. Have another Committee take up meetings on amending Title IX to keep these mutants out of women's sports.
Put an end to this national nightmare!
And people have to stop trying to be their kids' buddy and step up to be the parents they need for guidance.
God Help US!
