St. Louis trans clinic is investigated for harming 600 teens

A St. Louis treatment clinic is under investigation for harming up to 600 children, after a whistleblower alleged doctors bullied parents into giving their kids irreversible hormone drugs, and even performed gender-transitioning surgeries on them.

Jamie Reed, a former employee at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, alleged the hospital administered a litany of irreparable treatments to minors, often times without parental consent.

Speaking about her claims Thursday night, Reed said doctors would use questions like 'Do you want a dead daughter or an alive son?' to suggest to parents of children seeking sex-transitions that not providing treatment could lead to suicide.
