Bob Unruh wrote in an April 18 WorldNetDaily article:
Joe Biden insists that transgender treatments, the chemicals, the hormones, the surgical mutilations, are just more “health” care.
And his advocacy while in the White House has raised the profile of the industry and the impact on its victims.
But some of the of the worst atrocities just now are coming to light, including the testimony from a whistleblower that patients of a children’s gender clinic were “begging to have body parts put back on.”
It is Fox News that reported on the comments from a children’s gender clinic whistleblower who appeared on a daytime television talk show.
The whistleblower, Jamie Reed, who used to work at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, wrote an expose last year calling such treatments “morally and medically appalling.”
The report noted Reed, “who is queer and married to a transgender person herself,” explained what changed her ideas on the subject.
“A number of things. We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries.”
She continued, “The thing that kept happening is every time I would raise concerns and ask about the protocols and ask about the guidelines – this is just how the industry works, if a child says they’re trans there’s no questioning it. We just say, ‘Yep, you’re trans, what would you like?'”
As we documented when Reed first made her claims last year, she has largely been discredited. According to one analysis of her claims, Reed is a case worker, “not a doctor, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, and does not have direct medical diagnostic experience with patients.” She “frequently misgenders her patients” despite claiming to be transgender, her attacks “reveal a clear ideological bias, and the organizations and representation she has chosen to work with contradict her claim that she “supports transgender people.” Even the parents of children who attended the clinic have debunked Reed’s claims.
Neither Unruh nor the Fox News article from which he cribbed — written by Alexander Hall, one of the numerous Media Research Center workers who went through the revolving door to Fox News — mentioned the fact that Reed’s claims have been discredited.
