In a five-year span, thousands of minors had gender reassignment surgeries, puberty blockers or hormone treatments at a number of children’s hospitals and medical facilities across the country, a medical watchdog is reporting via their new national database.

Do No Harm, a national advocacy group of medical professionals against “woke” hospital agendas, shared the database, called “Does My Hospital Transition Kids?”, with Fox News Digital this week. In total, the group conservatively identified 5,747 minor patients who received sex-change surgery, and 13,994 received some sort of gender reassignment treatment between 2019 and 2023.

As Madeline covered on Tuesday, Do No Harm, a healthcare watchdog, published a first-of-its-kind database exposing the major U.S. hospitals and their physicians that perform bodily mutilation procedures on minors and prescribe them chemically castrating drugs in the name of so-called “gender affirmation.”

Researchers at Do No Harm aggregated and analyzed thousands of insurance claims from across all 50 states, matching procedures and prescriptions with gender-related diagnostic codes to confirm cases of medical “transitioning.” The shocking statistics revealed that nearly 14,000 children in the U.S. underwent some sort of “sex-change” medical intervention between 2019 and 2023, such as surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. This includes over 5,000 patients who had “gender intervention” surgery.

Performing Sex Changes on Kids Has Become Big Business As US Hospitals Rake in Piles of Money

One of the many issues facing Americans this election cycle is the high cost of healthcare. No one wants socialized medicine in the form of “Kamalacare,” but most people are likely open to suggestions about how American healthcare can be made more affordable. However, an insidious sub-industry in healthcare is feeding the beast at the expense of America’s children, and that industry will grow if Kamala Harris is elected.

Catholic healthcare system plays outsized role in transgender surgery, drugs for kids: database

America’s fourth-largest Catholic healthcare system performed so-called gender affirming surgeries on 81 children and prescribed puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to 113 over the past five years, according to a national database launched Tuesday by Do No Harm, which fights identity politics in “medical education, research and clinical practice.”

Still, the outsized role in the surgeries – including such procedures as vaginoplasty, breast removal and the sterilization of minors – played by the system, the Washington state-based Providence Health and Services, which owns 51 hospitals and 1,000 clinics in seven western states from Alaska to Texas, is one of the less touted findings from Do No Harm’s research.

Database shows 65 Oklahoma children subjected to sex change

A new database compiled by the organization Do No Harm, a group of medical professionals, shows that 65 children were subjected to some form of sex-change procedure in Oklahoma from 2019 to 2023.

According to the Stop the Harm database, of the 65 child patients identified in Oklahoma 18 underwent some form of sex-change surgery while 47 children and youth were given cross-sex hormones and/or puberty blockers.

Do No Harm describes itself as representing “physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers focused on keeping identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.”

Do No Harm Introduces First-of-Its-Kind Database to Pinpoint ‘Gender-Affirming’ Hospitals for Children

In recent years, transgender ideology has permeated the medical industry. In many cases, this harmful ideology is being pushed onto children. In many cases, doctors are told to “affirm” a child’s gender identity, especially if there are other issues, like depression and suicidal ideation, involved. 

Some children, like de-transitioner Chloe Cole, undergo irreversible, life-altering “gender-affirming” surgery as minors and live to regret it as adults. Many children who believe they are “transgender” but have not undergone surgery have received puberty blockers and hormone treatments.

On Tuesday, medical watchdog organization Do No Harm (DNH) launched a first-of-its-kind database revealing the medical facilities that are providing this type of egregious care to children in the United States. This database is called DoesMyHospitalTransitionKids.com,

Over 200 Hospitals Provide Irreversible Transgender Procedures to Children, New Database Reveals

More than 200 hospitals and health care facilities provide irreversible transgender procedures to children, debunking left-wing claims that the treatments aren’t being done on minors.

Medical nonprofit watchdog Do No Harm launched a database Tuesday of 225 hospitals that provide sex-change surgeries, puberty blockers, and/or hormone therapies to children.

Do No Harm matched known gender-related transition codes with gender-related procedures and prescription codes to compile the database.

Nearly 14,000 Minors Underwent Sex-Change Procedures in Recent Years, According to New Watchdog Database

A medical watchdog organization released groundbreaking data on Tuesday revealing the number of total child sex-change interventions that have been administered in the U.S. in recent years, as well as the locations where the procedures are taking place.

Do No Harm, a nonprofit that combats child gender transitions and discrimination in medicine, constructed a database quantifying the extent to which American children are receiving gender-transition procedures.

From January 2019 to December 2023, 13,994 minor patients received gender-transition treatments, with 5,747 undergoing sex-change surgeries and 8,579 getting hormones and puberty blockers, according to Do No Harm’s database. A majority of the body-modification procedures.

Over 5,700 American children had trans surgery between 2019 and 2023, medical group claims: ‘Treated like guinea pigs’

A new national database maps gender-affirming care for minors, listing where children are getting puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy and sex reassignment surgery — and calls out some of the nation’s most notorious providers.

Researchers were able to identify a total of 13,994 minors across the United States who received medical treatment for gender dysphoria over the course of four years. Shockingly, over 5,700 of those kids were operated on.

The searchable database from Do No Harm is called “Does My Hospital Transition Kids?” and launches today. It maps providers and hospitals which provide gender affirming care.

The Gender Medicine Gold Mine

We’ve reported many times on the dangers of “gender-affirming” care for distressed youths. Detransitioners and whistleblowers keep warning that young patients are losing their bodily functions, reproductive organs, and future fertility through drugs and surgeries before they’re old enough to consent.

Europe is now changing course. France, Britain, Norway, and Sweden are all moving away from the “affirmation” model as a way to treat gender-distressed kids. And one advantage they have over the U.S. is their nationalized health systems’ ability to record exactly how many kids are undergoing medical transitions.

American Hospitals Performed 14,000 Child Sex Changes From 2019-2023, Group Finds

Nearly 14,000 children underwent sex changes across the country from 2019 to 2023, according to a new database that tracks transgender children’s clinics.

Do No Harm, an association of medical professionals opposed to the politicization of medicine, this week launched “Stop The Harm,” a database that tracks “sex change treatments being performed on minors at healthcare facilities in the United States.” The group found that, from 2019 to 2023, at least 13,994 children underwent sex changes, for which doctors submitted charges of around $119 million. That is likely an underestimate, as the analysis could not account for claims from certain insurance companies or those who paid in cash.

Database: More than 13,000 gender reassignment procedures on minors between 2019-23

Sex reassignment procedures and surgeries on children have gained national prominence in recent years, and half of U.S. states now have laws passed either restricting or banning them.

Newly released data provided by the nonprofit Do No Harm indicates that the number of procedures overall has increased since at least 2019.

While many of those procedures from 2019 through 2023 occurred in states known for championing the right of juveniles to have irreversible medical procedures done even without parental knowledge or consent, such as California and Washington, some states that have since placed restrictions or outright bans on the procedures also have some of the highest numbers.

Over 20 State Attorneys General Sound the Alarm on Transgender ‘Care’ for Minors

In recent years, many states have passed laws protecting children from dangerous trangender care. This type of “care” has been promoted by several medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Other organizations, like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, have backed away from this kind of care, noting that “there is considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria, and the existing evidence base is viewed as low quality/low certainty.”

Race-based healthcare is coming to the US

Reparations in healthcare? Yes, it’s a thing. Throughout the nation, leading healthcare systems have been implementing programs that look to race to determine how to care for patients.

Physicians at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and elsewhere have described this approach as being based on a “reparations framework,” which they say is needed to redress “institutional racism” in healthcare. Consequently, Brigham patients presenting with chest pain, for example, may be treated differently depending on their race.

Brigham has touted a race-based program for addressing disparities in heart failure for certain minority patients. While the type of care needed to address heart failure depends on severity and not every case requires specialized cardiology services, Brigham’s program aims to use a patient’s race to determine what level of care is needed.

EXCLUSIVE: Watchdog Demands Medical Schools Not Comply With ‘Antisemitic’ Rule

Medical watchdog group Do No Harm sent letters to every U.S. medical school on Wednesday demanding that they not comply with the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations’ (IFMSA) “blatantly antisemitic” suspension of an Israeli student group.

IFMSA suspended the Federation of Israeli Medical Students (FIMS) in August claiming the group had “a lack of morals and humanitarian values” in reference to the Israel-Hamas war, according to Israeli news outlet Ynet. Do No Harm warned medical schools that implementing the IFMSA’s suspension of FIMS would violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, according to the letters obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Our organizations and our membership are concerned about rising antisemitism and discrimination in medical education in the United States,” the letters read. “Discrimination against Jews, Israelis, or those associated with Israeli medical institutions is never justified, regardless of your political viewpoints.”

UC Irvine trains ‘physician-activists’ to work with Latino community

A medical residency program at the University of California Irvine is training students to become “physician-activists” to combat “social determinants” in the Latino community.

However, some medical and legal experts expressed concerns about the public university program “politiciz[ing]” medicine.

The mission of the five-year UCI Program in Medical Education for the Latino Community, or PRIME-LC, is to “create leaders and physician-activists who will work in underserved Latino communities” to close the “healthcare gap,” according to its website.

Medical students participating in the program take courses in Chicano-Latino studies that examine “social determinants,” including the influence of “history, culture, family dynamics, and spirituality” on health and illness that are “always present” in healthcare.

Feds probing Cleveland Clinic over ‘minority’ health programs: ‘Racially motivated focus’

WASHINGTON (TND) — The Department of Health and Human Services’s Office for Civil Rights (HHS-OCR) has launched an investigation into the Cleveland Clinic over programs allegedly providing medical services to minority populations, it announced last week.

HHS-OCR wrote in a Sept. 10 letter that it was investigating the clinic’s “Minority Stroke Program,” which has a stated purpose of preventing and treating strokes in racial and ethnic minorities. It will also probe the clinic’s “Minority Men’s Health Center.”

The decision follows the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) filing a complaint on behalf of medical advocacy organization Do No Harm.The organization claimed that both the “Minority Stroke Program” and the “Minority Men’s Health Center” have violated protections by the Civil Rights Act and Affordable Care Act against discrimination.
