Is there anything that you won't catastrophize?

Mengele was a doctor too.

What evidence do you have that they’re performing elective hysterectomies on 12 year old girls?

Further, the hospital’s website features a section devoted to its Center for Gender Surgery for children which offers “gender affirmation surgery services” for “eligible adolescents and young adults.” The hospital touts the surgery center as the “first center of its kind in the U.S. in a major pediatric hospital setting.”

“As the first pediatric center in the country dedicated to the surgical care of transgender patients, we take an interdisciplinary approach from the start to ensure exceptional patient care,” the hospital states, bragging of its team of specialists who “collaborate to provide a full suite of surgical options for transgender teens and young adults.” The hospital appears to be particularly proud of its anesthesia team, which it says provides “culturally sensitive care to the gender-diverse community.”

“Founded in 2007,” the hospital’s site explains, “GeMS was the first major program in the U.S. to focus on treating gender-expansive and transgender adolescents. Since that time, we have expanded our program to welcome patients from ages 3 to 25.”

Come on, man.

Yet, somehow, the actual hospital saying they offer these services doesn't really mean they're doing it.

Obviously, they don't really mean what they say...

Boston Children’s Hospital boasts about having the first pediatric transgender surgery center in the country offering a "full suite of surgical options for transgender teens."

Boston Children’s Hospital promotes their surgeries through a video series on their official YouTube channel, with titles like "What You Need To Know Before Phalloplasty Surgery." The 90 videos in the series paint a rosy picture of the genital, chest and face surgeries they offer, accompanied by upbeat background music.

Chris Elston, otherwise known as "Billboard Chris," shared a tweet on Tuesday of a video in the Children’s Hospital playlist called "What happens during a gender-affirming hysterectomy?"
In that video, Dr. Frances Grimstad describes the process of getting a "gender affirming hysterectomy."

It is "very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. Hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the the fallopian tubes which are attached to the sides of the uterus," Grimstad says with a smile. Grimstad says that some "gender affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries," in short, the entire female reproductive system.

A bulletin on the Children’s Hospital Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS) homepage reads, "At Boston Children’s, we are proud to be home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in the United States" that has treated "more than 1,000 families to date."
Boston Children’s Hospital founded the Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMs) program in 2007 and welcomes patients as young as 3 years old. "At GeMS, our mission is to assess and care for gender-diverse children, teens, and young adults."
