Children's Hospital Boasts 'Gender-Affirming' Hysterectomies

If you know someone in need of a hysterectomy, a pediatric hospital may be able to help.

Though it might surprise some, Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) offers the service as part of its “gender” care. The medical center — whose logo portrays a woman holding a baby — boasts a Center for Gender Surgery.

From the official site:

Gender dysphoria occurs when there is a conflict between the gender you were assigned at birth and the gender with which you identity. This can create significant distress, and you may feel uncomfortable in your body. The Center for Gender Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital offers gender affirmation surgery services to eligible adolescents and young adults who are ready to take this step in their journey. It is the first center of its kind in the U.S. in a major pediatric hospital setting.

BCH is proud to be first:

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. Our skilled team includes specialists in plastic surgery, urology, endocrinology, nursing, gender management, and social work, who collaborate to provide a full suite of surgical options for transgender teens and young adults. Our experienced anesthesia team works to provide culturally sensitive care to the gender-diverse community. By partnering with the hospital’s nationally recognized Gender Management Service (GeMS), which provides a range of medical options for transgender youth, we help young people with gender identity concerns transfer seamlessly to surgical care if and when they are ready.

Services offered, to “people who are stable in their gender identity” in accordance with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health:

breast augmentation

chest reconstruction

facial harmonization

vaginoplasty

metoidioplasty

phalloplasty

“Other gender affirmation surgeries” are touted, and a viral BCH video reveals just such a thing. In the ad, a woman captioned as “Frances Grimstad, MD, MS” explains:

“Gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. A hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix — which is the opening of the uterus — and the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus.”

Not all “gender care” will scoop out the ovaries. But some will:

“Some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries, but that’s technically a separate procedure called a bilateral oophorectomy. And not every gender-affirming hysterectomy includes that, and people who are having gender-affirming hysterectomies do not have to have their ovaries removed.”

Transgender ideology has reached every sector of society, and our transformation has come quickly. Until relatively recently, everyone was nonbinary — people did not have any “gender” at all. The term, as you’re likely aware, was grammatical. Then it was decided “gender” was a better word than sex. Afterward, it was announced that gender was merely a social construct. And we were told gender and sex were two different things; they could be opposites within our binary system. Next, it was said that “gender” can mean anything at all — infinitely beyond that of man and woman. And lately, we’ve come so far that the wokest of all is the least woke, too: Our most advanced gender practitioners are now nonbinary; the circle is complete.

Meanwhile, it appears, the newest iteration of gender theory diametrically opposes the notion that gender is at all socially constructed. The best I can tell, all stereotypes have been declared correct and steel-enforced; if you like to wear men’s shirts and pants, for instance, that makes you a man. Hence, the potential need for a hysterectomy. At the Children’s Hospital.

To be clear, Politifact claims BCH isn’t giving young kids hysterectomies:

[B]oston Children’s Hospital doesn’t provide hysterectomies for children. … To qualify for a gender-affirming hysterectomy…patients must be 18 or older and must have a letter from a medical doctor stating they have “persistent, well-documented, gender dysphoria.”

As pointed out by the outlet, BCH stipulates that surgeries are for “adolescents and young adults.” However, per Merriam-Webster, “adolescence” begins at puberty.

BCH’s site does list 18 as the minimum age for genital surgery:

All genital surgeries are only performed on patients age 18 and older.

Is a hysterectomy considered “genital surgery”? Either way, given our current trajectory, America isn’t likely far from “gender-affirming” hysterectomies for children.

At that point, some may assume it’s as far as we can go. But they’ll be wrong:
