EXCLUSIVE: Suicide Hotline Operator Pushes ‘Radical’ Trans Ideology In Open Revolt Against Trump Admin

[…]

“It is deeply troubling that the organization operating our nation’s suicide hotline is pushing a radical, disproven ideology onto vulnerable adolescents in crisis,” Do No Harm Executive Director Kristina Rasmussen told the DCNF. “This taxpayer-subsidized program should provide compassionate, life-saving care to confused children, not send them further down a path that can lead to lasting mental and physical harm.”

[…]

“The fact that the training documents suggest hiding information from parents is both alarming and part and parcel of the gender activist playbook,” Rasmussen told the DCNF. “That the CEO of Protocall has doubled down on DEI, the twin pillar of the crumbling identity politics movement, is further proof that there must be additional scrutiny on the training provided to the people tasked with the critical job of interceding in young people’s times of crisis. It also calls into question why groups like this continue to hold key public service contracts at all.”

Utah lawmakers to push for permanent ban on youth transgender treatments amid criticism of state report

In 2023, the Legislature passed SB16, which prohibited sex reassignment surgeries for minors, put an indefinite pause on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for new child patients, and ordered a review of medical evidence to inform future policies.

The review, conducted by the University of Utah’s Drug Regimen Center for the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, was presented to the Legislature in May. It purported to find positive health outcomes for “gender affirming treatments.”

A report published in December by Do No Harm — a group of doctors who say they are focused on “keeping identity politics out” of medical research — identified significant flaws with Utah’s review, including a failure to scrutinize low quality data and “life-altering adverse effects.”

Florida AG Sues Medical Activist Groups for Pushing Transgender Care on Minors

“The years-long coordinated campaign by WPATH and other medical organizations to disregard the serious health risks of sex change interventions on minors will go down as the most egregious medical scandal in modern history,” said Dr. Kurt Miceli, medical director at Do No Harm, a medical watchdog opposed to giving transgender operations to minors.

“These groups have obfuscated risk and misrepresented the low quality of evidence to support puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and surgeries for children—interventions that can cause lasting harm. It is encouraging to see our elected officials hold these organizations accountable for spreading misinformation. This is a critical step to restoring public trust in medicine.”

Temple Shows DEI’s Ongoing Hold on Medical Schools

Temple University’s medical school sent an email this month to faculty and staff announcing that its DEI office, the Office of Health Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, will become the more vaguely named “Office of Strategic Partnership in Healthcare Education and Resources,” or “SPHERE.”

Here’s the issue: The medical school made clear that this is just a rebrand for an office that will continue its equity-focused mission.

Bishops Vote To Prohibit Trans Surgeries And Hormone Treatment In Catholic Hospitals

U.S. Catholic bishops voted to prohibit transgender surgeries and the use of cross-sex hormones in Catholic hospitals, in a show of solidarity with Catholic physicians and medical groups who have advocated for an end to the procedures for more than a decade.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) met Nov. 11-13 in Baltimore, Maryland, for their biannual plenary assembly, in which bishops, individuals, and organizations determine and discuss church policy. On Nov. 12, bishops overwhelmingly voted to approve updates to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs), including the prohibition of transgender surgical and hormonal manipulation.

,

While many health care associations support the experimental transgender medical interventions euphemistically described as “gender-affirming care” for minors, most doctors in Florida agree with the public to support laws protecting kids from these “treatments,” a new study finds.

“We see that a strong majority of doctors believe sex-change interventions should be prohibited for minors,” Ian Kingsbury, director of Do No Harm’s Center for Accountability in Medicine, told The Daily Signal.

The DEI Disconnect Between Actual Doctors and the Medical Elite

,

If there’s a beating heart to the “resistance,” it’s surely the medical establishment.

Prestigious organizations — from the American Medical Association to the American Academy of Pediatrics — routinely criticize the Trump administration for its many reforms. More broadly, these medical elites oppose virtually every effort to get divisive racial and gender ideology out of medicine and society at large. They give the impression that doctors are united in support of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” as well as transgender drugs and procedures for children. The medical establishment’s loud voice can be confusing for the majority of Americans.

Med schools need ‘alternative strategies’ to evade affirmative action ban, doctor says

A new JAMA Network Open paper urges medical schools and policymakers to use “alternative strategies” to preserve racial diversity after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against the use of affirmative action. 

But such strategies could still function as race-based preferences if used to engineer specific racial outcomes, according to an expert.

Kobach’s witnesses, including ‘detransitioned’ activist, line up against ACLU’s request for SB 63 injunction

A woman who has “detransitioned” — and who regrets her transition from female to male as a young teen — told a Douglas County judge on Thursday that she supports Kansas’ law that bans gender-affirming medical interventions for minors.

“If California had a law like this when I was 13, none of this would have happened to me,” said Chloe Cole, a well-known 21-year-old activist from California who has testified before numerous state legislatures and who works for an organization called Do No Harm.

Cal State Schools Require Students To Take DEI Classes To Graduate. Options Include ‘Queer Crip Lit’ and ‘Decolonize Your Diet.’

The University of California system made news earlier this year when it eliminated mandatory diversity statements for new hires. But at California’s other public university system, DEI isn’t in retreat—it’s required.

Nearly every California State University campus requires students to pass at least one diversity and cultural competency class, according to graduation criteria identified by Do No Harm, a group that opposes identity politics in medicine. The exact requirements vary across schools, but they typically prescribe a specific course or allow students to pick from a list of classes that “explore the interrelatedness and intersection of race and ethnicity with class, gender and sexuality, and other forms of difference, hierarchy, and oppression.”
