Is there anything more evil than mutilating kids for money? Some may ask this question after seeing videos and other evidence indicating that Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) — despite no doubt knowing that the body mutilation euphemistically known as “gender reassignment surgery” has no scientific basis — will happily perform it on youth, anyway. And why?
Money appears a big part of the reason, one video reveals.
What’s more, a VUMC professor can be seen in another video indicating that conscientiously objecting doctors who refuse to mutilate kids should be punished.
And VUMC has tacitly indicted itself, too, as it has scrubbed or blocked the damning material.
The videos are from 2018, but were only brought to light recently via an investigation conducted by commentator Matt Walsh. The evidence speaks for itself, so here’s Walsh’s Twitter thread on the matter (with some added information interspersed within):
Here’s the transcription of some of Vanderbilt M.D. Taylor’s remarks:
Some of our VUMC financial folks in … October of 2016 … put down some costs of how much money we think each patient would bring in, and this is only including top surgery; this doesn’t include any bottom surgery. And it’s a lot of money; these surgeries make a lot of money. So female-to-male chest reconstruction can bring in $40,000. A patient just on routine hormone treatment who I’m only seeing a few times a year can bring in several thousand dollars [inaudible] a lot of business for labs. It actually makes money for the hospital.
While we don’t have the context of Taylor’s above remarks, and she doesn’t explicitly say “We’re facilitating this MUSS mutilation for money,” it does all have quite a mercenary ring to it.
The bottom line is that, truly, much of the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda is driven by ideology. Yet as commentator Andrea Widburg (who gets a hat tip for the tweets) points out, the MUSS movement wouldn’t enjoy its political and cultural success were it not for establishment-institution complicity, and establishment institutions likely wouldn’t be giving it the oxygen they do were they not getting rich rending kids’ minds, bodies, and souls.
Of course, “puberty blockers” — which, note, are used on children off-label, something that’s disallowed for effective Covid treatment ivermectin — are portrayed by MUSS enablers as a harmless way to provide sex-confused kids “more time to make up their minds.” Yet they speak falsely.
Consider that, as The Post Millennial reported in May, “At a recent talk at Duke University on ‘Trans & Gender Diverse Policies, Care, Practices, & Wellbeing,’ surgeon and ‘trans affirming’ doctor Marci Bowers, who transitioned at the age of 38, admitted that children who undergo transition before puberty will never have adult sexual function….”
“‘An observation that I had,’ said Bowers, ‘every single child who was, or adolescent, who was truly blocked at Tanner stage 2,’ which is the beginning of physical development, when hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood, ‘has never experienced [complete adult sexual development]. I mean, it’s really about zero,” the site continued.
Note, too, that there’s an unmentioned denial of science in the above VUMC video. The “expert” speaking says that the standards previously prescribed cross-sex hormones’ use at 16, but this doesn’t make sense because we know puberty doesn’t start at that age, but earlier. So VUMC now will provide these hormones at 14.
But wait: Such maturation doesn’t generally begin at 14, either. In fact, WebMD informs that the average age boys enter puberty is now 10 (yes, it’s occurring earlier), with girls experiencing the changes even sooner. So why, if VUMC’s goal is eliminating “unwanted” pubertal changes, do they not recommend puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones for preteens?
Because, no doubt, they believe social proscriptions make such a prescription untenable — at least for now. It has nothing to do with science.
Now for the rest of Walsh’s tweets:
So they “now castrate, sterilize, and mutilate minors as well as adults, while apparently taking steps to hide this activity from the public view,” Walsh concludes. “This is what ‘health care’ has become in modern America.”
The kicker is that while the MUSS-enabling Left loves to bloviate about “following the science,” the medical establishment knows there’s no good science to justify MUSS treatments. Just consider an admission found, reported Fox News host Tucker Carlson Wednesday, at the University of California, San Francisco’s (UCSF’s) website.
“As youth are transitioning an increasingly younger ages, genital surgery is being performed on a case-by-case basis more frequently in minors,” UCSF’s hospital states. And what’s the science behind this? Well, UCSF confesses a few sentences later:
“In the absence of solid evidence, providers often must rely on the expert opinions of innovators and thought leaders in the field.”
What does “thought leaders” mean? It “means the Human Rights Campaign is in favor of it,” answers Carlson. “It means activists are pushing it — it means there’s no scientific data to justify it.”
It should be mentioned here that The New American has warned for years that there was no sound science behind the MUSS agenda. And if the Truth expressed on these pages (and by other alternative-media) were allowed to circulate widely instead of being censored by Big Tech and ignored by small minds, fewer kids would now be scarred for life. Lies kill.
As for the liars, what, again, is more evil than mutilating kids for money? Does Dante have a circle of Hell for such people?
