Anna Seaver, a resident of Delavan, expressed concern about the taxpayer funding of "irreversible sex change interventions." "I am against any government funding for sexual transitions in prisons." said Seaver, "There needs to be more information out there about these irreversible changes to our innocent children."

"This should be kept out of all of our schools." said Seaver, "Kids need parental guidance, not indoctrination from teachers."

Taxpayers spent more than $110,000 for “irreversible sex change interventions” on children in North Carolina via managed Medicaid between the years 2019 and 2023.

That’s according to a national database released today of hospitals and medical facilities “administering irreversible sex change interventions on children in the United States” by the organization Do No Harm. 

The database shows that hospitals in North Carolina saw 198 minors who were “sex change patients,” including 104 total surgery patients. These hospitals administered “hormone and puberty blockers” to 100 total children and wrote 425 prescriptions. In all, it totaled $1,148,958 in total submitted charges.

Twenty-nine of these interventions were paid for by the managed Medicaid program for a total of $111,037.93 in taxpayer funding.

Do No Harm said the database “catalogs pediatric sex change-related services, including surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, at U.S.-based medical facilities between 2019 and 2023.”

The data represents sources including “claims clearinghouses, data aggregators, payors, health systems, CMS, and multiple open data sources,” according to Do No Harm, and includes data from commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and VA claims.”

The Bellin Hospital of Green Bay submitted the most charges among Wisconsin hospitals, according to the database. The hospital saw 22 “sex change” patients, who were children, from 2019 to 2023, including 10 surgery patients and 14 total “hormone and puberty blocker” patients. There were 61 total prescriptions written. In all, it amounted to $373,102 in total submitted charges.

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin was the only children's hospital from the state included in the database. The facility saw 18 underage “sex change” patients, including 6 surgery patients and 12 total “hormone and puberty blocker” patients. There were 50 total prescriptions written. A total of $5,743 submitted charges were made.

Originally opened in 1894, the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is located in Milwaukee, WI, with a secondary campus located in Neenah. The hospital offers specialized care in pediatric oncology, pediatric cardiology, pediatric neurology, and neo-natal care, among other services. The hospital is affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin.

The issue of taxpayer funding of these procedures has gained national attention as Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who is in a dead heat with former President Donald Trump, has openly advocated for "transgender" surgeries for illegal immigrants and prisoners.

In 2017, then-President Trump rescinded an Obama-era "guidance" to public schools to allow "transgender" students to use the bathrooms of their choice. Obama had threatened "to withhold funding for schools that did not comply" with his guidance — a move that was undone by Trump. 

A recent ad by the Senate Leadership Fund said that U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) "supported providing puberty blockers and sex change surgeries to minor children," according to The Guardian. On October 4, 2023 Baldwin made a post in support of Governor Tony Evers' (D) veto of legislation that forbid puberty blockers and sex change surgeries for minors.

Chloe Cole, a senior fellow at Do No Harm, said the database “proves the lies from the medical establishment and radical politicians who argue that cases like mine are rare.”

A 20-year-old woman who said that she had “gender dysphoria” was given “puberty blockers,” testosterone and had a double mastectomy at age 12, Cole has since “de-transitioned” and supports bans on the chemical castration of minors. 

“The stats in this database represent thousands of kids who are being treated like Guinea pigs for unproven, and sometimes dangerous, medical experiments,” said Cole. “I hope politicians and parents alike use this database to see where these treatments are happening and protect their children from being rushed into irreversible, life-altering treatments.”

Nationally, 13,994 children received sex change-related treatments between 2019 and 2023, according to Do No Harm’s database. This includes 5,747 sex change surgeries performed on children, and 62,682 hormone and puberty blockers prescriptions written for 8,579 pediatric patients. 

“At least $119,791,202 made from sex change treatments performed on minors,” reported the organization.
