Dr. Tandy Aye is a pediatric endocrinologist at Stanford Children’s Health and is the Medical Director of their Pediatric and Adolescent Gender Clinic gave a TedTalk about ‘chopping them off early’. As crude as that may sound, that pretty much sums it up.
Dr. Aye added that the once-considered ‘temporary’ hormone blockers destroy the function of testicles and argued that doctors should just cut them off like ‘any other nonfunctioning organ.’
People, we always ask when is it ‘too far’, this—this is too far.
TedTalks offered the following explanation for their recent speaker:
“Gender affirmation surgery is currently reserved for those who are 18 years or older. Tandy Aye argues for why it may be more beneficial for surgery to occur during older adolescence. Dr. Tandy Aye is a pediatric endocrinologist at Stanford Children’s Health and is the Medical Director of their Pediatric and Adolescent Gender Clinic. This multidisciplinary clinic provides pediatric endocrinology, urology, gynecology, psychiatry and psychology, general and plastic surgery and adolescent medicine services to affirm and support patients and their families. Dr. Aye’s research examines the impact of hormones on the developing brain, bone and body composition, particularly in peri-adolescents who are receiving gender affirmation therapy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.”
I'm sure most of these gender doctors are otherwise intelligent, humane people, but radical gender theory has turned them insane. They're blocking out basic questions like "why has this increased by 500%" and "is it really a good idea to surgically remove a child's genitals."

It’s not just radical thinking or a political opinion, these are children. WebMD even covered stories about children who transition and later regretted it. People who had transitioned to the opposite gender and later decided to reverse their transition shared about how they felt the medical establishment had failed them in a unique Zoom conference earlier this month.
The forum was convened by Genspect, a parent-based organization seeking to put the brakes on medical transitions for adolescents and children. The group has doubts about the gender-affirming care model supported by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other medical groups.
The point is, they’re just kids! You’re asking them what they want to be when they grow up and I know grown adults who are still trying to figure that out.
