What do surgical interventions on people with sexual identity disorder actually do to the human body and are any of them reversible? In this episode of Bioethics Babe, host Arina Grossu Agnew sits down with Dr. Patrick Lappert, a twice board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, former U.S. Navy Captain, and former Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. Dr. Lappert spent more than 30 years in the operating room, including decades rebuilding bodies damaged by trauma, cancer, congenital deformities, and combat injuries. In this conversation, he explains in precise medical detail why surgical interventions on people with sexual identity disorder are cosmetic, irreversible, and ethically incompatible with basic principles of surgery, especially when performed on minors.

In this episode, pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Quentin Van Meter reveals the truth behind one of the most controversial practices in modern medicine: the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children with sexual identity confusion. He also outlines the disturbing legacy of John Money, the man whose unethical experiments helped launch today’s gender ideology. With over four decades of clinical experience, including training at Johns Hopkins and service in the U.S. Navy, Dr. Van Meter explains how chemical and surgical interventions on children with sexual identity disorder swept through pediatrics despite a lack of scientific evidence, how clinics rapidly adopted irreversible interventions, and why so many doctors feel pressured to “affirm” rather than question.

We’re told that changing a child’s name, pronouns, and identity is an act of love, but what if that so-called “affirmation” is actually the start of a dangerous medical experiment? Pediatrician, researcher, former Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), and the current Chair of the ACPeds Adolescent Sexuality Committee, Dr. Michelle Cretella says social transition isn’t harmless—it can confuse children when they are not being told the truth about their identity as male or female, disrupt their normal development, and lead them down the path of chemical and surgical interventions. On this episode of the Bioethics Babe Podcast, we’re identifying the hidden risks of social transition in children—and asking the hard questions no one else will. Are Read More ›

What happens when the medical establishment stops protecting children — and starts encouraging medicalizing sexual identity confusion instead? In this episode of Bioethics Babe, Dr. Jill Simons, a board-certified pediatrician and Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians, exposes how ideology has overtaken science and good medicine in the treatment of children with sexual identity disorder and how this puts vulnerable kids at risk. Dr. Simons shares how her decades of experience in pediatrics led her to speak out against sex-rejecting interventions on children with sexual identity disorder — interventions which are not compassionate and leave lifelong physical and mental consequences. We discuss: Dr. Simons explains why she believes children deserve truth, not a pathway to sex-rejecting transition. Watch Read More ›
