The FBI has initiated criminal investigations into employees at Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Colorado and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for performing irreversible “transgender” medical procedures on children, an anonymous source “familiar with the investigation” tells Fox.

The inquiries follow several statements from the Trump administration promising to prosecute so-called gender affirming care for children under laws preventing child abuse and female genital mutilation.

In his executive order “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” President Trump directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to:

• “Prioritize enforcement of protections against female genital mutilation.”
• “Convene states’ attorneys general and other law enforcement officers to coordinate the enforcement of laws against female genital mutilation.”
• “Prioritize investigations and take appropriate action to end deception of consumers, fraud and violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by any entity that may be misleading the public about the long-term side effects chemical and surgical mutilation.”

The DOJ created the Federal and State Coalition Against Child Mutilation to carry out the president’s order. In an April memo announcing the coalition’s formation, Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote: “Through this coalition, I will partner with state attorneys general to identify leads, share intelligence and build cases against hospitals and practitioners violating federal or state laws banning female genital mutilation and other, related practices.”

On June 2, the FBI wrote on X and Facebook, “As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care.”

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles runs the “Center for Transyouth Health and Development,” which the Daily Citizen’s Jeff Johnston describes as “one of the oldest and largest children’s ‘gender clinics’ in the country.”

For more than 30 years, the center has pumped children full of opposite-sex hormones and cut off their healthy reproductive organs. But, just two weeks after the FBI’s statement, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles announced the center’s abrupt closure, effective July 22, 2025.

Children’s Hospital Colorado claims it has never performed transgender surgeries on minors. It does, however, offer children so-called puberty blockers and opposite-sex hormones, Fox reports.

Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon who exposed a secret transgender medical program at Texas Children’s Hospital sayshormone interventions can be just as, if not more, damaging than surgeries.

“Taking these medications during adolescence is like undergoing a million micro-surgeries to your bones, heart and blood vessels every single day,” he told the Daily Citizen, explaining: “The changes are more gradual than a surgery, so people tend to think hormone-based interventions aren’t so bad. But there’s no surgery that can prevent your secondary sexual characteristics from developing. There’s no surgery that can cause your bones to become that of a 65-year-old woman. There’s no surgery in the world that can cause your brain not to develop. Nothing can do those things except for these medications.”

Radical Colorado legislators ostensibly support Children’s Hospital Colorado and other providers performing these inhumane procedures on children. On May 23, Governor Polis signed a law mandating health insurance companies cover opposite-sex hormone “therapy,” “transgender” surgeries and cosmetic surgeries like rhinoplasties, “check, chin or nose implants” and “facial bone remodeling.”

Boston Children’s Hospital runs GeMS, or the Gender Multispecialty Service. It makes no attempt to placate federal or state officials prosecuting child mutilation.

“You may be aware that in states across the country there is a recent increase in proposed legislation aiming to restrict the rights of transgender and gender diverse youth,” a letter from the hospital on the GeMS website reads, referencing laws preventing child mutilation and protecting girls’ sports and spaces.

The letter reaffirms the hospital’s belief in “a gender-affirmative” model of care, which it describes as “a standard of care grounded in scientific evidence, demonstrating its benefits to the health and well-being of transgender and gender diverse youth.”

This is, as Johnston would say, a bald-faced lie. Overwhelming evidence, including a recent, 400-page report from the Department of Health and Human Services, shows transgender medical interventions harm children and teens mentally and physically.

Still, the hospital’s letter concludes: “The proposed bans on medical care, sports participation and other legislation aiming to restrict the rights of transgender and gender diverse youth are in direct opposition to our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusivity, as well as the standard of care we live by.”

In other words, Boston Children’s Hospital doesn’t think it has done anything wrong and has no intention of stopping.

But performing “transgender” medical interventions, which amount to nothing more than lucrative experiments, on vulnerable children is horribly wrong. Doctors peddling lies about their efficacy make money off turning healthy kids into lifelong hospital patients.

Please pray God will guide and bless the FBI’s truthful investigation into this evil practice.
