Where do girls who have had their breasts removed in pursuit of becoming a man go when they have changed their mind about the endeavor? And what do those who performed the surgery tell them?
These are questions whistleblower Jamie Reed attempts to answer in a Free Press piece. Married to a trans man, Reed describes herself as “a 42-year-old St. Louis native, a queer woman, and politically to the left of Bernie Sanders.” Those details are important. Until November, Reed was a case manager at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
Reed’s allegations are deeply disturbing and horrifying. She charts the astronomical rise in proclaimed transgenderism among youth in general and teenage girls in particular. When she started at the center, she received about 10 calls a month from families with kids declaring themselves transgender. “When I left there were 50, and about 70% of the new patients were girls. Sometimes clusters of girls arrived from the same high school.”
