On November 21, Megan Brock tweeted a screenshot of what appears to be an email exchange between Dr. Rachel Levine, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health, and Dr. Nadia L. Dowshen, an “adolescent medicine specialist” at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (ironically, CHOP) from 2017.
In it, Dr. Levine, then the Secretary of Health for the state of Pennsylvania, asks Dr. Dowshen about the “possibility of gender confirmation surgery for young people under 18.”
Dr. Dowshen responds to say that CHOP had performed more than 10 “chest surgery” (a euphemism for double mastectomy) operations on girls younger than 18 and as young as 15, and 1 “bottom surgery” (a euphemism for castration when performed on a boy or phalloplasty when performed on a girl).
If this is true, it means that CHOP is performing these surgeries on minor children, and the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health knows it.
The Post Millennial has also reported on the story, going into much more detail. When reporting on these things, most legacy media outlets continue to either gaslight Americans by insisting that it doesn’t happen or celebrate it as a good thing because it “improves trans mental health outcomes.” They refuse to call it what it is - mutilation of healthy children’s bodies before such children are legally permitted to vote, buy alcohol, or, in some cases, drive a car.
Dr. Dowshen’s public pages are available here and here.

When all of this emerges as the national scandal that it should be, it won’t be a moment too soon.
