Two reports published this week reveal the degree to which the industry that performs sex-rejecting procedures on children relies on subterfuge and sneaking. One covers billing fraud in past practices, and one is specifically about the way the people who are \u201ctransing\u201d children keep right on going as their work becomes more and more legally dubious.<\/p>\n<p>First, at City Journal, the investigative reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/manhattan.institute\/person\/christina-buttons?shown=10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christina Buttons<\/a> has published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/pediatric-gender-transition-treatments-bans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long story<\/a> about her undercover efforts to get transgender procedures for her make-believe child, calling providers and pretending to be a parent in states where those procedures are illegal. Don\u2019t worry, counselors tell her, we have ways to get around all that stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Buttons focuses on \u201cthe\u00a0Campaign for Southern Equality (CSE), a North Carolina-based LGBT advocacy nonprofit,\u201d which runs a \u201cTrans Youth Emergency Project.\u201d That organization provides medical referrals and travel grants to parents who want puberty blockers and trans surgeries for their children, flying families out of red states to places where those procedures are still being performed. <\/p>\n<p>But Buttons also \u201cfound that many of CSE\u2019s recommended medical providers \u2014 with the organization\u2019s knowledge \u2014 described ways to circumvent state restrictions and allow minors to continue receiving medical interventions in their home states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read that extraordinary story for details, as Buttons pretends to be a mom in Tennessee who wants to transition her child. Sample telephone exchange with a caseworker:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>During our conversation, I explained that I lived in Tennessee, where \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d is prohibited for minors. Jaye told me the clinic had an in-house pharmacy that stocked puberty blockers and worked with specialty pharmacies that could mail estradiol and testosterone vials directly to my home or send prescriptions to my local pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>When I asked whether pharmacies would know why the medications were being prescribed, Jaye said they would not, because the clinic used a general \u201cendocrine disorder\u201d diagnosis code for labs and medications. He said the gender dysphoria code was only used when seeking approval for puberty blockers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Second, the surgeon Eithan Haim, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AXxmG6H3Wes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advocacy<\/a> played a significant role in ending sex-rejecting procedures at Texas Children\u2019s Hospital in Houston, has posted a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EithanDHaimMD\/status\/2116187893400227883\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long report<\/a> on X in which he describes the use of fake medical diagnoses to get health insurance companies to pay for the performance of trans interventions on children. Haim uses medical records and other evidence from a <a href=\"https:\/\/adflegal.org\/article\/detransitioner-fox-varian-awarded-2-million-in-historic-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">successful detransitioner lawsuit<\/a> to show exactly how doctors lied about their work. As one example among many in a richly reported discussion, he posts this screenshot from a deposition with a psychologist who was working to \u201ctrans\u201d a child:<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The real diagnosis \u201cnever makes it to the record.\u201d In short, Haim writes, the evidence provides clear examples of \u201cfalse diagnoses used as proxies for a gender-related diagnosis in order to secure insurance payment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asking the obvious and extremely important question about a long record of apparent insurance fraud, Haim wonders why the DOJ is only pursuing civil settlements with hospitals: \u201cWhy has the federal government not pursued criminal charges?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The civil settlements \u201cwere meaningful victories,\u201d he concludes, but \u201cthis punishment does not match the crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spend some time with both of these important reports. Again, here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/article\/pediatric-gender-transition-treatments-bans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the link<\/a> to the piece from Christina Buttons at City Journal, and here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EithanDHaimMD\/status\/2116187893400227883\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the link<\/a> to Eithan Haim\u2019s long and detailed report on X. <\/p>\n<p>These reports establish important facts about the industry that profits from harming children, and they come as no surprise to the people who have been closely watching this business for many years. Erin Friday, the president of the parental advocacy group <a href=\"https:\/\/ourduty.group\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our Duty<\/a>, told The Federalist that \u201cwhen a medical provider has to falsify codes, it is a tacit admission that he knows what he is doing is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The investigations from Buttons and Haim, Friday told The Federalist, \u201cconfirm what we have known for years, that sex-rejecting medicine is fraud from the diagnosis to the coding to the treatment. The whole of this medicine is a lie, and those profiting from it financially or ideologically will continue to find ways to harm children with the backing of well-funded nonprofits and liberal politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>   Chris Bray is a senior correspondent at The Federalist and a former infantry sergeant in the U.S. Army.
