“HHS’ 410-page report alleged that gender-affirming care —including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and gender-affirming surgeries —caused significant, long-term damage.” Speaking of genital surgeries that go catastrophically wrong, yesterday, ABC ran a story headlined, “HHS finalizes report on gender-affirming care for youth, medical groups push back.”

Stop messing around with kids’ skulls, too On January 28th, eight days after taking office, President Trump signed Executive Order 14187, which ordered HHS within 90 days to report on “the existing literature on best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.”
To meet the deadline, HHS released a draft version on May 1st, which was savaged by rabid critics, especially because it hadn’t been peer-reviewed. Two days ago, HHS released the final, polished version— with peer review. Critics, never satisfied, were still enraged, like middle-schoolers fined for lacking a permit to run their lemonade stand.
HHS’s report threatens to snuff out big medicine’s lucrative industry around elective procedures for children.
The report demolishes the “Gender Dysphoria” (GD) industry. It is careful and comprehensive. It exposes the whole sordid game as unscientific. “The diagnostic criteria for GD are based solely on subjective reports and behavioral observations in patients with no objective physical pathology,” it clinically and correctly stated. “There are no verifiable physiological or biochemical markers —such as abnormal imaging, lab, or clinical findings— to confirm the GD diagnosis.”

And yet these doctors, without any clinical confirmation, want to perform permanent surgeries with potential complications on children— procedures that are even more risky and horrifying than the one that produced Jeffrey Epstein’s disfigured dongle.
For a single example, one ‘transfemale’ died after ‘her’ vaginoplasty from postsurgical necrotizing fasciitis. Ugh. Kids taking hormones show higher levels of cardiovascular complications, including heart attacks and strokes. Many studies show very high levels of surgical regret, and even post-surgical suicide.
Stop messing around with people’s genitals.
🔥 Critics had also complained in May that the authors hadn’t been disclosed (so that they could be pressured, impugned, and canceled before the report was finalized). Now, the authors are clearly listed. They include self-identified liberals like bioethicist Moti Goren and healthcare researcher Evgenia Abbruzzese, a center-right political scientist Leor Sapir, and a more conservative endocrinologist, Michael Laidlaw. In other words, this is no MAGA team. It is a diverse group of experts, including an MIT philosopher and a research methodologist.
Within hours of the final report’s release on Wednesday, the American Academy of Pediatrics had already denounced it. Tellingly, the AAP’s statement does not point out a single alleged mistake. Instead, it just generally complained the report “misrepresents the current medical consensus” and “prioritizes opinions over dispassionate reviews of evidence.”
Ironically, the AAP and other medical groups complained that they must operate “free from political interference”— apparently having amnesia about how, for the last five years, they’ve relentlessly scolded everyone for “not following the science” when “the science” was just CDC suggestions.
In a press release on Wednesday, NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya called the report “a turning point for American medicine,” adding that “we are committed to ensuring that science, not ideology, guides America’s medical research.” Always follow the science!
“This is a new day for HHS. It’s a new day for the country,” Admiral Brian Christine, assistant secretary for HHS, told Blaze News. “It is because of President Trump and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that this information has come out.”

💉 In the end, the real story isn’t just that HHS produced a 410-page blast of white-hot forensic light, aimed straight at one of the most ideologically protected medical rackets in modern memory. The story is who produced it. For the first time in decades, the government’s science agencies are acting like… science agencies. Not marketing departments for pharma. Not cheerleaders for activist guilds. Not nervous hall monitors terrified of upsetting the donors who financed the new stadium.
This report broke formation. It’s an unmistakable signal flare: the old capture model is cracking. The mandarins who once demanded ritual compliance are suddenly facing a bureaucracy that, at least in part, remembers it has an investigative function. And the moment that happens — the moment evidence stops bowing to guild catechisms — the con starts to shatter apart.
Call it a restoration, a reckoning, or simply a slow return of adult supervision. But something is shifting. And the people who’ve profited the most from confusion, silence, and fear know it. For the first time in a long time, the alphabet-soup agencies aren’t manufacturing balloons of consent — they’re popping them, along with the moneyed interests invested in the pseudo-science.

Don’t miss the part that really stings the institutional interests: this wasn’t a Substack post, a rogue researcher, or a disgruntled clinician yelling into the wind. This is an official, peer-reviewed, HHS publication — stamped, numbered, and signed by the very agency that once carried water for the gender-medicine guild.
Now, every lawyer representing an injured patient, every parent blindsided by a catastrophic complication, can walk into discovery with a federally sanctioned, peer-reviewed document saying what the medical cartels insisted could never be said: that the entire diagnostic framework rests on subjective impressions, that no objective pathology exists, that the evidence base is weak, and that the risks are grave.
In malpractice litigation, that’s solid gold. It’s an engraved invitation to ask juries the critical question: “Why was the hospital doing irreversible surgeries on minors when federal regulators warned them the science was junk?”
Hospitals know exactly how dangerous that is. So do insurers. So do the academics who built their careers on affirm-only dogma. They’re suddenly staring down the barrel of a government report that not only undercuts their talking points but becomes a plaintiff’s Exhibit A.
The liability clock just started ticking loudly.
It almost gives me hope that the government health agencies do have a purpose. Here, their purpose was to collapse pseudo-scientific “consensus” and let some sunlight into the debate. Kudos to Trump and his team.
Every doctor and hospital that engaged in these “treatments” should be sued into bankruptcy. And the teachers encouraging children into this fad should be dealt with, too.
“...genital surgeries that go catastrophically wrong”
LOL...lopping off a boy’s perfectly good penis and testicles is, by very definition, “gone wrong.” How could that ever “go right”?
AMEN
What did autocorrect do in that headline?
Sometimes I’ll type a word and it
changes it to what it thinks I want
When I’m in a hurry I don’t always
make sure that I check each word
like I should - oops 😬
Call should be called
Got it. Thanks.
Autocorrect urined your meme.
LOL 🤣
Sometimes I’ll make a typo and the tense gets shifted too
Or I’ll get in too much of a hurry while posting
“HHS’ 410-page report alleged that gender-affirming care...”
It is not an allegation if proof is offered to establish that it is a fact which is shown through evidence. The reason for the report was such allegations. Allegations are not conclusions.
Now do “climate change”.
