Jamie Reid, St. Louis Children's Hospital Whistleblower
Whistleblower Jamie Reid, a former caseworker at the Washington University Transgender Center in St. Louis, describes the lack of medical protocols and the rapid expansion of the clinic from 50 to 2,000 patients. She attributes the rise in cases to social media influence and "mass hysteria" similar to historical events like the June bug scare.
Vanderbilt Medical Center, Transgender Surgery and Conscientious Objection
Dr. Ellen Clayton of Vanderbilt Medical Center stated that medical staff who have conscientious or religious objections to performing gender-affirming surgeries should face "consequences." Clayton argued that such objections are problematic in a contractual employment setting and that staff should find other jobs if they refuse to participate. The comments have sparked debate over religious freedom and medical mandates in Tennessee.
