  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A judge dismissed the case against the Texas doctor who was facing multiple felony charges after exposing the largest pediatric hospital in the U.S. for continuing transgender procedures on minors despite claiming otherwise.

Dr. Eithan Haim, 34, was potentially facing a decade in prison and up to $250,000 in fines after leaking documents to journalist Christopher Rufo in 2023 from the Houston-based Texas Children's Hospital (TCH), where he completed his surgical residency.

Haim revealed in a Friday X post that U.S. District Court Judge David Hittner had dismissed that case against him with prejudice. Jennifer Lowery, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, had earlier moved to dismiss the case in the wake of President Donald Trump issuing an executive order earlier this week demanding an end to the political weaponization of the federal government.

Wasn't the issue here that the whistleblower committed multiple HIPAA violation by disclosing individual patients' personal health information, or do I have him confused with another person?

I am a "covered entity" under HIPAA. While I have no problem with whistleblowing and am no fan of elective transgender procedures for minors, I have a huge problem with illegal disclosure of patients' medical records for any reason. If I did that, I would lose my license and be paying off fines until the cows come home. And, no Judge would save me...as they shouldn't.

With such a scarcity of voices from the surgical community chiming in on about their insights and reflections on gender-affirming care, Sasha and Stella eagerly welcome Dr. Eithan Haim to share his compelling perspective on his experiences and observations at a leading pediatric hospital in the United States.
