What we found is the medical industry, if you will, I won't even call it the profession anymore, it's an industry, is trained and even by law told they have to affirm any wacky idea a child has.
Okay, so they think they're in the wrong body.
Thousands of children are sold the lie that they're born in the wrong body.
No one pushes back on these kids.
It's a fad, and I think that we're going to look back on this period of time as effectively the modern lobotomy.
This disfavored practice now that we find to be abhorrent, barbaric, and inhumane is now being done on America's children in the name of gender-affirming care.
One of my clients wasn't even given hormone therapy before they cut her breasts off.
It was like, boom, you think you're a boy?
They cut her breasts off within, you know, months after that decision.
She then got hormone therapy after that.
This hormone therapy destroys their bones, makes them infertile.
They lose hair.
They have skin problems.
None of that is properly disclosed.
It is my opinion.
Again, this is my opinion as a lawyer.
It is impossible for a child to give consent, informed consent, to these barbaric medical procedures.
So now, what's interesting is we do have some laws on the books.
A little outdated now.
But the United States has a longstanding law against female genital mutilation, FGM.
FGM is a, in my opinion, barbaric practice that occurs in certain countries, not the United States, but immigrants from those countries come here and they bring these practices, which is mutilating the female genitalia before the age of 18. It's a crime in the United States to do that.
Now, the top surgery, and again, I'm getting very graphic here, but the removal of breasts is, you know, top surgery.
These children don't usually have the bottom surgery until after they turn.
You know, 18, for various reasons.
Various reasons I won't bore you with today.
So there's probably not a lot of cases of female genital mutilation that's occurring under the age of 18, but if they're occurring in this country, it's a crime.
And the Attorney General has announced that we will be prosecuting that crime in the United States.
The original purpose of that law was an ethnic practice.
It's beyond that now.
It's a pan-ethnic practice in America to do this to children.
Should it be limited to girls?
I don't think so.
Congress will have to update that.
There are boys who are having their penises cut off under the age of 18. Who would have thought that?
And by the way, there's a high degree of regret amongst these people who do that.
That is why these procedures are no longer done in most of the civilized world on children.
Country after country in Europe has discontinued the practice of gender-affirming care on children.
They say it just doesn't work.
They're not doing it for ideological, religious reasons.
It just doesn't work.
These kids become adults with longstanding regret, suicide, and irreversible damage to their bodies.
So we in America need to wake up and understand that during COVID, where hospitals weren't able to do a lot of the things they wanted to do that make money, plastic surgery, what have you, everybody...
Check the box saying this gender-affirming care on this child is a medical necessity.
Fast-tracked to the front of the line.
Money-making revenue center for strapped medical professionals.
Abhorrent and crazy in some ways.
And so a lot of this falls under the purview of state law.
Some states have banned these practices.
One of my clients, former client Chloe Cole, has gone and testified in front of a number of legislatures.
People are talking about extending the statutes of limitation now.
So this is mostly a state law.
Where there's a federal law or a federal avenue, we're beginning to do some law enforcement.
