Vanderbilt Hospital Facing Backlash Over Transgender Castration Surgery On Children

Keneci Channel

The cruel business of Transgender castration surgery on children is reportedly booming in the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Daily Wire host Matt Walsh reported on a video and archived webpages from the medical center which details a doctor’s promotion of the transgender therapies and surgeries, and apparent threats against medical professionals who dare object for religious reasons.

“It’s a lot of money,” VUMC Clinic for Transgender Health’s Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor said at one Medicine Grand Rounds lecture, in the video. “These surgeries make a lot of money.” She noted that a “chest reconstruction” can bring in $40,000 per patient, and someone “just on routine hormone treatment, who I’m only seeing a few times a year, can bring in several thousand dollars … and actually makes money for the hospital.”

Citing the Philadelphia Center for Transgender Surgery, Taylor said vaginoplasty surgeries can generate $20,000. She claims that it “has to be an underestimate,” since hospital stay, anesthesia, post-op visits, and other add-ons are not included in the total. “And the female-to-male bottom surgeries, these are huge money makers,” the doctor continued, adding that such surgeries could bring in “up to $100,000” for the hospital.

At another Medicine Grand Rounds lecture, staffers are warned by Vanderbilt health law expert Ellen Wright Clayton that any “conscientious objection” will be met with “consequences.”

“If you are going to assert conscientious objection, you have to realize that that is problematic,” Clayton said. “You are doing something to another person, and you are not paying the cost for your belief. I think that is a … real issue.”

Clayton said conscientious objectors have to find someone else to carry out such surgeries for them.

“I just want you to take home that saying that you’re not going to do something because of your conscientious -- because of your religious beliefs, is not without consequences, and should not be without consequences,” she said. “And I just want to put that out there. We are given an enormous -- if you don’t want to do this kind of work, don’t work at Vanderbilt.”

Walsh appeared on Fox News to discuss the Vanderbilt story with host Tucker Carlson.

"Vanderbilt University Medical Center took its entire website offline and no doubt at some point they'll be claiming it's unsafe for them, that the people who are shocked by what they're doing are actually the criminals here and that they're getting threatening phone calls," Carlson said. "They're going to call the DOJ and anyone who comments on it is going to get a visit from the FBI. But the truth is, people who are horrified by this are not the bad actors. Vanderbilt is the bad actor. Vanderbilt has just admitted on camera to castrating children as young as 13-years-old."

The Fox News host wondered "what sort of person" would... chemically castrate a 14-year-old because he or she saw something on TikTok that suggested it's a good idea."

Walsh said that Vanderbilt "perform double mastectomies on minor girls, on children, they chemically castrate children, they give them irreversible hormone drugs, and change their bodies permanently.”

Walsh argued that the so-called gender-affirming care is "allowed to keep happening because people don’t know about it because they’re not talking about it,” He added, “And to many people "it’s unthinkable. They can’t imagine this sort of thing is actually happening.”

Carlson then displayed the names of the board of directors for VUMC and called on them to “act immediately” to stop transgender treatments on children.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has called for an investigation of the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at VUMC.
