A gynecologist who goes by the name of The Ob/Gyn Power Project on Substack has written a piece in which she has second thoughts about all of those elective "gender-affirming" hysterectomies she performed, which she says were a joy:

She writes:

Gender affirming hysterectomies were a delight to perform. “These teeny tiny uteri [atrophied by testosterone] are so much fun to take out,” I would tell my assistant. Unlike hysterectomies for more traditional diagnoses such as abnormal uterine bleeding or pelvic pain, these uteri rarely came with pathology such as fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis to make surgery more difficult.

However:

I had just assumed somebody, somewhere was in charge of making sure that there was an evidence base that these extraordinary treatments that were being performed on young people – puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and double mastectomy – were supported by extraordinary scientific evidence that showed an incontrovertible long-term benefit.

I've written about so-called science journals like Nature and Scientific American, assuring me that determining whether someone is male or female based on the genitals they are born with has "no foundation in science and should be abandoned."

Fortunately, some European countries seem to have come to the conclusion that unnecessary "gender-affirming" surgeries are a bad thing.

Our Ob/Gyn continues:

It is an extraordinary claim that, based on an adult patient’s stated gender self-identity, they should have hysterectomy, mastectomy, penectomy, oophorectomy, vaginoplasty, rhinoplasty, cheek implants, brow reduction, chin and jaw reshaping, liposuction, breast augmentation, vocal cord shaving, and various surgeries to create nonbinary genitalia deemed medically necessary without any more specific evaluation than a supporting letter from a therapist.

I have not seen extraordinary evidence.

That's because there is none.

An Ob-Gyn in Iowa writes about the gender affirming hysterectomies she carried out. And why she’s now concerned:

But they were "life-saving" surgeries because the child almost certainly would have committed suicide if they were nonbinary and had a uterus. That suicide threat has been used for years as blackmail, and I'm certainly not falling for it anymore.

This is just mind blowing.

What's mind-blowing is that people like Abigail Shrier had her books taken off the shelves because they took an honest look at the soaring rate of "transgender" schoolgirls and asked if it wasn't social contagion … a fad.
