Episode notes
Matt Walsh’s Viral Anti-Clinic Thread
- Matt Walsh posted a viral Twitter thread in September 2022 attacking Vanderbilt's transgender youth clinic.
- He cherry-picked clips to falsely claim the clinic 'chemically castrates and performs double mastectomies on minors'.
Clinic’s Actual Patient Numbers
- The clinic treated only about 106 patients and did around five top surgeries yearly, all for minors over 16 with parental consent.
- The narrative of widespread, rushed surgeries on minors is false and highly exaggerated.
SB1’s Transphobic Purpose
- The Tennessee law SB1 bans medical procedures on minors aimed at enabling transgender identity.
- It explicitly targets gender affirming care and reflects overt transphobia in law.
