Boston Children’s Hospital recently released a statement referencing “hostile internet activity, phone calls, and harassing emails including threats of violence” to staff and clinicians in response to public criticism of its Gender Multispeciality Services (GeMS) Program.The August 16 statement references an article and “online attention.” Though it does not clearly name the sources of this commentary, there are a few avenues with which the online chatter took shape.Just a few days prior, a conservative site called The Post Millennial published a headline about the hospital’s trans care.
The Daily Caller released an article the same day accusing the hospital of “promoting” gender-affirming hysterectomies and alluding to the possibility that these procedures could be being performed on minors.Other outlets followed suit, and conservative social media accounts spread the story.Conservative Twitter account Libs of TikTok, which has over one million followers, tweeted that “Boston Children’s Hospital is now offering ‘gender-affirming hysterectomies’ for young girls.”The tweet was posted with a video of a doctor describing the procedure, but the video never outright said or implied that minors would be able to receive this form of surgical care. GeMS at Boston Children’s does include a Center for Gender Surgery, but only operates on eligible patients — those who have sufficient documentation of gender dysphoria, for example — in line with the standards of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.On the Center’s website, it notes that “all genital surgeries are only performed on patients age 18 and older,” even though the hospital it is affiliated with is a children’s hospital. Hysterectomies are no different.

It took years to work out a suitable ‘label’ for the kind of relationship that I have with my housemate / best mate / co-living co-habitee / wingman… occasional fuck buddy / flashy bait to lure in hot guys that are way out of my league! The point is that, since we started hanging out and clarify to people / friends / family / acquaintances that we aren’t partners / boyfriends / husbands / romantically involved, we realise that NOT having a label seemed to totally flummox people because humans obviously have an insatiable need to place fellow humans in neat little boxes – all labelled clearly for public consumption. Every single person, to my face at least, once they hear about the specifics of our situation applaud the enviable position that we find ourselves in.This is mainly because as we have managed to skip over the romanticism ‘trap’ that so many fall into. We’ve been able to craft something seemingly unique for our situation.

We habitually cancel things we no longer want,’ ” Rowling told The Times.
