To the editor:
Your coverage of gender ideology and the harms being done to minors is woefully inadequate and biased. You risk your journalistic integrity if you cannot present a balanced overview of a topic as serious as gender ideology. It is the belief system underpinning the abolition of sex which has profound consequences for women and girls, including but not limited to sports. Gender ideology is also the basis for harmful and unnecessary medical treatments for mental health issues in minors.
Please do your due diligence. Review the literature on the DI-AG site (di-ag.org) and fact-check their sources. Check Do No Harm’s methodology (donoharmmedicine.org). We certainly can no longer make the claim that surgeries and life-altering interventions are rare. And we also cannot say this is a Republican or right-wing discrimination agenda (stoptheharmdatabase.com).
What Do No Harm found in the United States between 2019 and 2023:
— 13,994 minors underwent sex change treatments
— 5,747 minors had sex change surgeries
— 8,579 minors received hormones and puberty blockers
— 62,682 sex change prescriptions were written for minors
— Total submitted charges: $119,791,202
Boston Children’s Hospital is listed among the top providers of gender surgeries for minors in the United States.
