June 22, 2024
Welcome to the PITT weekly roundup where you find a list of the week’s postings along with links to some of our favorite books, social media, and podcasts. Please continue the fight against the harms of gender ideology by sharing.
Access to all PITT content is free. Our objective is to inform the public of the devastating impact of gender ideology on families through our personal experiences. And it’s working - Support for transisitioing of children and distressed young adults is crumbling.
Quote of the Week from The Other Side of Estrangement: “…speaking as a parent, I’m confident their parents will come back for more. That is what love looks like – imperfect, difficult, frustrating and everlasting. I hope these adult children will experience that love someday and be able to return it.”

Whistleblower Surgeon Could Face a Decade in Prison
By Emily Yoffe, June 18, 2024, for The Free Press
Eithan Haim, the young Texas surgeon who revealed that Texas Children’s Hospital was secretly performing gender transitions on minors after the hospital declared it had stopped these procedures, was in federal court Monday for his arraignment, where he entered a “not guilty” plea to the U.S. Department of Justice’s charges against him.
For blowing the whistle on procedures being done on minors that are now illegal in Texas, Haim is facing up to ten years in prison. The four-count indictment alleges that Haim obtained patient information “under false pretenses and with intent to cause malicious harm to TCH.” Haim, who provided evidence about the continuing gender transition treatments to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo, redacted patients’ names to protect their privacy.
Haim is raising money for his legal defense at this GiveSendGo account.
