Is the medical industry’s practice of trans surgeries for minors facing a legal reckoning?

Ben Shapiro 0:00
Is the transing of the children finally dying in America? We'll get to some breaking news that suggests that it is, plus breaking news on the kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's mom and everything that is the latest from Minneapolis and all the rest. First, in 2026, DailyWare Plus members are getting more than ever before. In January alone, we dropped more than 250 original pieces of content, all ad-free, all uncensored, and February is way busier. New episodes of the seven-part fantasy series, The Pendragon Cycle, Rise of the Merlin, are coming every Thursday. Ben After Dark season two premieres on Friday the 13th, which feels sort of on brand. And there's a new episode of Matt Walsh's new series, Real History, hitting February 23rd.

And we'll be live in D.C. for the State of the Union, plus a bunch of other stuff stacked on top of that. So if you're already a member, you're covered. If you're not, this is the month to fix that. Head on over to dailywireplus.com to join right now. Well, if you go back just a few years, it was de rigueur that every major commentator, every major politician would be called to say that boys or girls, girls or boys, they could become one another. Major medical establishment organizations came out and said, that it was the purest form of science to say that boys could become girls. And in fact, the best treatment for people suffering from gender dysphoria was for them to have hormone treatment and surgery.

In fact, if you go back to 2021, the American Medical Association was telling governors to oppose state legislation that would prohibit medically necessary gender transition related care for minor patients, calling such efforts, quote, a dangerous intrusion into the practice of medicine. that of course was not relegated only to psychological care or social transition, or even to hormones. That also included, on many occasions, surgery. In fact, the AMA specifically put out a letter saying, quote, empirical evidence has demonstrated that trans and non-binary gender identities are normal variations of human identity and expression. For gender diverse individuals, standards of care and accepted medically necessary services that affirm gender or treat gender dysphoria may include mental health counseling, non-medical social transition, gender affirming hormone therapy, and or gender affirming surgeries.

This was the standard of care according to the American Medical Association. Well, As it turns out, all of that was a load of horse crap. And if you are wondering about the sort of signal moments in the last 30 years of American history where people fell out of love with institutions and decided that institutions had betrayed their trust, this would be a big one. There have been many of them. Obviously, there is the media betrayal of Americans' trust over things like Joe Biden's mental health issues. There's the betrayal, the fundamental betrayal of trust by our nation's educational institutions with regard to things like critical race theory. There is the betrayal of trust by our scientific organizations over COVID.

But a really, really big one, maybe the biggest one in many ways, was the basic lie that everyone who is above the age of one and a half knows is a lie, which is that boys and girls are the same. The fact that the medical establishment said that boys could become girls, girls could become boys, and the best treatment for somebody who is struggling with body dysmorphia was not to work on their brain, but to work on their body by cutting off healthy body parts, by creating fake new body parts. This was insanity. It was pathological. It was nuts. And it was, again, de rigueur. It was the thing. Well, now it turns out that all of that is coming to a screeching halt. And I have to say that as a company, Daily Wire, I think we played a very large role in this, not just through Matt Walsh's fantastic documentary, What is a Woman?
Ben Shapiro 3:30
But from the fact that we as a company from day one rejected this nonsense. We rejected it wholesale.
