Hey, John.

Thanks for having me.

And Washington State sent millions of dollars for the services of a very controversial transgender surgeon.

Washington State Health Care Authority has paid more than $4.3 million since July 2019 for the services of Dr. Jeffrey Stiller.

Dr. Stiller is a prolific transgender surgeon, and according to his website, he's performed over 1,000 vaginoplasties, averaging five procedures per week, making him what he calls an extremely sought-after transgender surgeon.

And importantly for this investigation, public records obtained by The Daily Wire show that Dr. Stiller's clientele included a flow of inmates from the Washington Department of Corrections facilities.

Yes, that's right.

In 2017, Stiller brought vaginoplasty and general surgery to a small town in Idaho.

Now, this was very controversial.

There was a lot of public outrage, and the Washington Post actually profiled him as a compassionate surgeon who was bringing, quote-unquote, medically necessary care to an underserved population.

After experiencing backlash in Idaho, Dr. Stiller opened a practice in Spokane, Washington.

Even in Washington, controversy continued to follow him.

There is a record of a 2021 drunk driving arrest and multiple malpractice lawsuits over the past five years.

I reached out to Dr. Stiller for comment on these controversies, but I did not receive a response.

Records obtained by the Daily Wire show that while getting these procedures might be somewhat easy for inmates, they can have complications that are difficult to deal with.

One email showed a patient was struggling with self-image after receiving a quote-unquote non-binary mastectomy.

Medical staff described the patient who was, quote, identifying themselves as non-binary and asexual, and though they did not want to maintain breasts, they also report they did not want a male chest either.

In particular, they are not happy with the nipple placement and would have liked them placed more central, the email stated.

Another email showed a staff member requesting that an inmate had a single cell for a year after their genital surgery so they could dilate themselves in privacy.

It's unclear if either of these patients were Dr. Stiller's, but it is clear that these surgeries can have very long, unintended negative consequences.
