More than 5,000 minors in the United States underwent transgender surgeries between 2019 and 2023 and nearly 14,000 had transgender-related treatments, according to research into insurance billing codes conducted by the advocacy organization ‘Do No Harm.’

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb is a board-certified kidney specialist and the board chairman of ‘Do No Harm’, which recently released a national database on transgender-related services at medical facilities across America.

The ‘gender-affirming’ treatment model is based on flimsy evidence and has, in many cases, robbed children of normal lives, he says.

Dr. Goldfarb says social justice ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion standards have taken over medical education, to the detriment of patients. Students are no longer taught to think critically and to properly evaluate medical research and statistics for weaknesses and flaws, he says.

“A new vice dean for medical education came in, the one who I had worked with for many years retired from her post, and a new one came in, and she said, your curriculum is way out of date, and we need to be teaching the students to understand community issues. They need to understand social justice issues. They need to have a very, very different orientation. And you have too much science in the curriculum. She actually made that statement to me. At that point, I became very concerned, because to me, you know, the purpose of the medical school was to teach them take care of sick people.”

Dr. Goldfarb about gender ideology in medicine: “it's going to be a tough fight, but I think it's really important to save children from something that's often been mutilating and certainly has robbed many children of having normal lives.”

He says about his organization ‘Do No Harm’: ‘I wanted to start an organization that would sort of fight back against some of this, and point out how the curriculum in medical school had deteriorated, and point out how identity politics were starting to produce real harm in healthcare.”

According to Dr. Goldfarb, “Pfizer had an employment program that excluded whites and Asians from a very rich program of mentoring and employment and supporting further education, and again, in the program description, whites and Asians should not apply.”

About medical training in the US: “It doesn't matter what makes sense in medical education now, I think there's a real deficit of training young physicians to think critically. I think they need to learn much more about psychology, how people develop false ideas and refuse to confront reality. And they don't learn enough about the scientific method. They don't learn enough about how you evaluate statistics. They don't learn enough about how to evaluate a medical study. What are the weaknesses in the study in a particular question, what's the best experimental design? It's just not taught in medical school, and yet, physicians need to be able to do that.”
