Databases to Help Combat Gender Ideology
The thing that never happens, happens. In the United States, between 2019 and 2023, these things happened:
· 13,994 minors underwent sex change treatments
· 5,747 minors had sex change surgeries
· 8,579 minors received hormones and puberty blockers
· 62,682 sex change prescriptions were written for minors
This information is thanks to the dedicated folks at Do No Harm who have compiled the Stop the Harm database. It catalogs sex change treatments performed on minors throughout healthcare facilities in the United States.
Do No Harm profiled children’s hospitals in states still allowing sex change treatments on minors, examining their advertised services to determine which medical interventions they provide.
Do No Harm analyzed insurance claims data to properly assess which sex change procedures each hospital and healthcare facility administered to minors.
Do No Harm reviewed claims data at children’s hospitals in states that have passed legislation with age limits on sex change treatments for minors and non-pediatric hospitals and healthcare facilities.
If you would like to know if a hospital in your area is putting children in harm with their commitment to gender ideology, you can access the interactive map on their site.
Do No Harm’s goal with this database is to encourage positive change in the gender field and protect children. Stop the Harm will help to inform the public and shed light on the prevalence of these practices. It’s all in keeping with the Do No Harm objective of protecting healthcare from the disastrous consequences of identity politics.

In a similar initiative, Parents Defending Education have begun compiling a database of school districts with gender affirming policies. Last updated in October 2024, the database lists school districts by state that openly profess that district personnel can or should keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents. And they have done their research. For every school district, Parents Defending Education have provided a link directly to the nonsensical, anti-science policy. This is a work in progress so please contact them via the link provided on the site if you know a school heading down this path or, perhaps, a school that is backing away from it.
Some parents are pushing back. The Heritage Foundation writes in “School Policies Hiding Students’ Gender Identities Face Different Legal Fates” that, based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s century-old recognition of parents’ fundamental, constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children, parents in at least six states are bringing legal challenges. Parents’ primary right and responsibility to direct the upbringing of their children is both longstanding in law and ancient in origin. Whether future courts will recognize this right remains to be seen, although they should.
While I understand the importance of statistics regarding how many minors have been subjected to the heinous medicalization of psychological disturbance and a social contagion, it's also vital to assess and "combat" what is inflicted on sons and daughters after the age of 18, who are often on the autistic spectrum and especially vulnerable to opportunistic, virtue signaliing, ignorant, and indifferent others.
A month after his 19th birthday, my son was prescribed poison pills on his first visit to the Planned Parenthood walkable from his college campus. While not technically child abuse, the malpractice that has deteriorated the mental and physical health of my emotionally immature son is still abuse and a shameful practice that must be eradicated.
It’s really great to see both of these activities. I echo the sentiments of the comment below— is it possible to look at data from college clinics, or planned parenthood? My guess is that the numbers of kids who transition in college and after is at least as large and likely larger than the population of minors. My story is one of thousands whose kid got sucked in in college and has now been estranged from us for years. Thank you to this org for anything they can do to help.
