President Donald Trump declared war on gender ideology and the corresponding child sex-change regime upon retaking office. Despite the best efforts of non-straight activists and overreaching federal judges, the campaign is off to an excellent start — as recently evidenced by Stanford Medicine’s partial surrender.
Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 28 directing all federal agencies to ensure that medical institutions receiving federal funding “end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children” — an initiative that accords with popular opinion, which is majoritively against sex-change drugs and surgeries for children.
“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” wrote Trump. “This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.”
It’s clear that the president meant business — which in practice, has meant putting the sex-change regime out of business.
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles — which reportedly had patients as young as 3 and billed millions of dollars for hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and sex-change mutilations for minors — announced last month that it was shuttering its child sex-change center after assessing the “severe impacts” of the Trump administration’s actions and proposed policies.
Stanford Medicine revealed last week that it too was shuttering one of its youth sex-change practices.
‘Her testes are nonfunctional, and in medicine, don’t we often recommend the removal of nonfunctional organs like an appendix?’
The Stanford Pediatric and Adolescent Gender Clinic was founded in 2015 by pediatric endocrinologist Tandy Aye.
During a 2019 TED Talk, Aye suggested age should not determine when kids can have their genitals surgically removed and/or distorted.
“Doctors usually allow those who are 18 to make decisions about their procedures and consent so that you can weigh the risks and benefits,” said Aye, a member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health. “Well then, the transgender patient may be one of the most well-informed patients. Who else has had years of psychological evaluation, months of medical therapy, and has thought of this one procedure for so long?”
Aye suggested that in the case of a little boy sterilized after being pumped full of puberty blockers, conventional medical wisdom would dictate that his testicles should be removed.
“Her testes are nonfunctional, and in medicine, don’t we often recommend the removal of nonfunctional organs like an appendix?” asked Aye. “So therefore, does it make sense for Avery to wait until she’s 18?”
Some of Aye’s colleagues at WPATH admitted behind closed doors that informed consent by minors was all but impossible.
It’s clear that the Stanford clinic shares Aye’s eagerness for putting children on the path to sterility and permanent discomfort, stating in its FAQ that it treats “transgender and gender diverse children, adolescents, and young adults” and “will see younger children before puberty starts for education, social support, and referral to mental health and community resources.”
The clinic is, however, pausing the surgical side of its deformative practice.
Stanford told the San Francisco Chronicle in a June 24 statement, “After careful review of the latest actions and directives from the federal government and following consultations with clinical leadership, including our multidisciplinary LGBTQ+ program and its providers, Stanford Medicine paused providing gender-related surgical procedures as part of our comprehensive range of medical services for LGBTQ+ patients under the age of 19, effective June 2, 2025.”
“We took this step to protect both our providers and patients,” said Stanford. “This was not a decision we made lightly, especially knowing how deeply this impacts the individuals and families who depend on our essential care and support.”
‘Children deserve evidence-based care, not irreversible harm backed by political activists.’
The decision to pause genital mutilation at the clinic, which will reportedly continue to provide other forms of sex-change “care,” was supposedly made before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tennessee Republicans’ ban on sex-change genital mutilations and sterilizing puberty blockers for minors on June 18.
Similar laws are on the books in 23 other red states.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman at the medical advocacy group Do No Harm, told Blaze News in a statement, “It is encouraging that Stanford Medicine has joined the ranks of medical systems ending experimental sex-change surgeries on children. However, Stanford Medicine should remain under scrutiny for its history of performing these procedures and its continued use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children.”
“As the administration continues to investigate and take regulatory action against hospitals that harm gender confused kids, it should by no means give Stanford Medicine a pass until it complies with HHS’ recommendations for treating gender dysphoria,” continued Goldfarb. “Children deserve evidence-based care, not irreversible harm backed by political activists.”
As Goldfarb alluded, the Trump administration is bringing the full weight of the law down on those who would mutilate children on the basis of pseudoscience and false, ideologically driven narratives.
Attorney General Pam Bondi noted in an April 22 memo that pursuant to Trump’s executive order, she was directing all Department of Justice employees “to enforce rigorous protections and hold accountable those who prey on vulnerable children and their parents.”
Just last week, the FBI launched criminal probes into Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles — all three listed on medical advocacy group Do No Harm’s list of the 12 worst offending institutions that promote sex changes for minors.
Time will tell whether the administration will take a similar approach to Stanford.
