Boston Children’s Hospital received at least two bomb threats after videos of promotional videos for puberty blockers, and ‘gender affirming hysterectomies’ for ‘transgender’ kids went viral.
Boston Children’s Hospital faced backlash over a video they created that appears to be promoting “gender affirming hysterectomies” for “transgender” children.
The video, featuring Dr. Frances Grimstad, an obstetrician-gynecologist, went viral after being posted by the popular Libs of TikTok Twitter account.
“A gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur,” Grimstad cheerfully stated. “A hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus.”
In another video the hospital claimed that toddlers can know that they are transgender. They claimed that signs of a transgender toddler include refusing haircuts or playing with toys for the opposite gender — even though liberals have long claimed that toys have no gender and previously fought to end gendered toy aisles in stores.

“While I cannot comment further on the alleged motive of this case, I want to say generally, that health care providers who support and offer care to gender-diverse and transgender individuals and their families deserve to do so without fear,” US Attorney Rachel Rollins said on Thursday, NBC Boston reported.
