Children’s National Hospital has been inundated with threatening emails and phone calls after an influential right-wing Twitter account published a recording that falsely suggested the hospital is performing hysterectomies on transgender children, a hospital spokeswoman said. The torrent of harassment was accompanied by social media posts suggesting that Children’s be bombed and its doctors placed in a woodchipper.
The recording, made by Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik, features two telephone operators at the renowned D.C. medical facility stating — in response to Raichik’s questions — that a 16-year-old trans boy would be eligible for a hysterectomy at the hospital’s gender development clinic. Children’s has not disputed the authenticity of the recording but said the employees provided inaccurate information.
“It depends. Each department’s different. Some departments cut off at 18,” one telephone operator says in response to Raichik’s question about whether a minor would be eligible for the surgery. “How old is your patient?”
“Sixteen,” Raichik says.
“Okay,” the operator replies. “Alright. So they’re in the clear.”
After confirming with a second person over the phone that a 16-year-old would be eligible for a gender-affirming hysterectomy, Raichik asks whether it is “a common procedure that you guys do for that age.”
“Yes, we have all different type of age groups that comes in for that,” the hospital worker responds.
“For the hysterectomy?” Raichik asks.
“Yes, ma’am,” the employee says, adding later that she has “seen younger kids, younger than your child’s age” undergo the surgery.
On Thursday night, the hospital’s website temporarily went down.

Libs of TikTok is the name of an account that exposes the insanity of liberals on that platform. It is not a liberal in and of itself. The left hates it because all it does is repost insanity from the source and show them in all their nasty glory, naked and unvarnished.
It shines the light and the cockroaches REEEEEEE.

The only horrors happening is one the far right keeps making up about trans people and what the hell is with the fascination with trans people, that the far right has?
I do agree though that a child should never undergo any surgeries like this and it should be law, that adults are the only people who can a life changing surgery.

You know that is complete BS right? You made something up and now believe your own BS which is what you guys seem to do all the time. LMAO
I do agree though, that there is no reason for trans people to entering schools, so that children can understand them better is complete idiocy. The excuse that children need t o learn subjects like this at an early age, in order to prepare them for these people is BS.
I hate the far left as much as I hate the far right.
