President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has established a dedicated tip line for whistleblowers to report cases of chemical and surgical sex change procedures performed on minors.
To enforce Trump’s executive order “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” the new tip line allows individuals to report concerns related to the administration of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex change surgeries on children.
“HHS is committed to protecting whistleblowers to the full extent of the law,” a department’s explainer about the tip line said.
Last week, the department also announced the launch of an investigation into “a major pediatric teaching hospital for allegedly terminating the employment of a whistleblower nurse for exercising her federally protected rights of conscience.”
“The investigation will examine whether the pediatric hospital violated federal law known as the Church Amendments by firing a whistleblower nurse after she requested a religious accommodation to avoid administering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children, which she opposed due to religious beliefs about the sterilization effects of these interventions,” the department said in a press release.
HHS did not name the hospital being investigated, but many have speculated that the nurse is likely to be whistleblower Vanessa Sivadge.
