Yale professor ripped for helping toddlers with ‘gender journey’ A Yale professor has come under fire over a video in which she describes helping children as young as 3 years old with their “gender journey.” Dr. Christy Olezeski, who co-founded the Yale Pediatric Gender Program, was filmed saying she helps treat those questioning their gender and also provides guidance on “medical intervention.” “I am the director of the Yale gender program, which is an interdisciplinary program working with gender-expansive individuals 3 to 25 and their families,” Olezeski said in the clip posted on Yale University’s YouTube page.
