The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) has brought to light a number of alarming practices among medical professionals providing so-called "gender-affirming" interventions to young patients. Some of these patients are as young as 12 years old. Videos obtained by the DCNF via FOIA requests reveal the shocking callousness of these professionals, raising significant ethical concerns. The abhorrent reality is that the people working in this predatory industry do not have their patient’s best interests at heart.

At the center of this controversy is a surgeon named Dr. Alex Laungani. This Mayo Clinic-trained Canadian plastic surgeon specializes in genital-mutilating procedures, which involve the creation of synthetic organs meant to mimic the genitalia of the opposite sex. This surgeon described such surgeries as an "adventure for young people," reflecting a disturbingly casual attitude toward these serious and life-altering procedures. In the videos, this surgeon recounted operating on a 14-year-old patient, questioning rhetorically, "Why wouldn’t I operate on him if he’s 14?"
Further investigative reporting reveals that some medical professionals accept complication rates up to 80 percent for a sex-change surgeries. Such high rates of medical error and iatrogenic harm are only allowed for critical surgeries for patients who have little to no chance of survival. In these cases, healthy young teens and young adults in their 20s are having their futures destroyed, for no medical reason whatsoever. The complications described are often gruesome and horrifying, underscoring the severe risks involved.
At the forefront of this investigation is the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). During a series of 2022 panel presentations, doctors were filmed advocating for experimental medical interventions on young people. These needless, predatory interventions often can have devastating, irreversible complications. Many of the sex change procedures are conducted on patients who are autistic or who are struggling with severe mental health issues. In fact, the individuals who are subjected to these synthetic hormones and needless surgeries have a suicide rate that is nineteen times higher than the general population. These individuals are not being counseled or guided properly. Instead, a predatory industry – full of sick-minded individuals – is preying on their struggles, to turn them into a medical cash cow for life.
Young people are having their genitalia and breasts removed and their faces contorted to fit either a more female or male image. For boys, these surgeries can involve breast implants, castration and vaginoplasty — creating a replica of female genitalia using penile or bowel tissue. For girls, the procedure known as phalloplasty involves removing the entire reproductive system and constructing synthetic male genitals often using tissue from their thigh or forearm. These surgeries irreparably sterilize children and necessitate lifelong medical follow-up.
WPATH currently dictates the standards of care for this new field of transgender medicine, helping inform policy statements from major medical and professional organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Psychological Association and the Endocrine Society. The private insurance companies and taxpayer-funded insurance plans are also tied to the criteria set forth by WPATH’s guidelines, allowing the sex reassignment industry unlimited funds so individuals and children can be easily experimented on at the hormonal and genital level.
