Summary

More than 5,000 minors in the United States underwent transgender surgeries between 2019 and 2023 and nearly 14,000 had transgender-related treatments, according to research into insurance billing codes conducted by the advocacy organization Do No Harm. In total, these treatments and procedures cost at least $119 million.

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb is a board-certified kidney specialist and the board chairman of Do No Harm, which recently released a national database on transgender-related services at medical facilities across America.

The “gender-affirming” treatment model is based on flimsy evidence and has, in many cases, robbed children of normal lives, he says.

Dr. Goldfarb says social justice ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion standards have taken over medical education, to the detriment of patients. Students are no longer taught to think critically and to properly evaluate medical research and statistics for weaknesses and flaws, he says.

0:31.3	DEI ideology in health care and stop the use of the gender affirming care treatment method for
0:37.0	minors. It's a procedure that's being done without evidence that it's beneficial.

0:52.7	Physicians are not being taught to be
0:54.8	contrarian about these things. It's just not taught in medical school. This is American Thought

1:20.6	no harm covers.
1:21.6	So why don't we just dive into that?
