Sen. MarshaBlackburn seeks action after doctor touts profits of transgender surgeries on video
The senator sent a letter Thursday to the Food and Drug Administration asking that they conduct studies of puberty-blocking drugs to"assess the long-term effects on pediatric patients."
She further inquired as to what studies or trials have been conducted already to"evaluate the safety and long-term effects" of the drugs on those with diagnoses of gender dysphoria. Blackburn is also seeking information on the number of reports of adverse effects the FDA has received on adolescent patients.
"We are deeply concerned that it could result in significant short-term and long-term risks and adverse effects on adolescent patients," the senator wrote. In the video released Tuesday, a woman identified as Dr. Shayne Taylor explains that transgender surgeries are a"big moneymaker," further explaining that the patients require many follow-ups."Some of our VUMC financial folks in October of 2016 put down some costs of how much money we think each patient would bring in.
Vanderbilt opened its trans clinic in 2018. During a lecture the same year, Dr. Shayne Taylor explained how she convinced Nashville to get into the gender transition game. She emphasized that it's a "big money maker," especially because the surgeries require a lot of "follow ups"
