DOJ backs off whistleblower on illegal gender procedures for kids as new research questions benefit

Two newly published systematic reviews and meta-analyses reaffirm growing consensus that, at minimum, researchers can’t tell if medical interventions help more than harm children.

The Trump administration’s quick-hit reversal of its predecessor’s convictions and executive orders spread to a major prosecution Friday, dismissing the eight-month-old criminal case against the whistleblower who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital’s apparent violation of state law by continuing to practice so-called gender affirming care on minors.

Eithan Haim’s saga, which he said started with “three heavily armed agents at my door [at] 7AM” to charge him, inspired an Oklahoma bill named after him (SB 571) to protect whistleblowers from federal retaliation.
