A children's hospital in Cincinnati is teaching their staff to lie and hide the fact that they're starting gender transition therapies with children from their parents. This is a spectacularly bad idea, because smart parents can look up the names of the staff with whom their children are interacting and make a good guess about what's going on, and furthermore, the best thing that can happen is that families will start to assume, rightly, that any staff involved with gender disphoria will be lying to them. Smart parents also will make certain conclusions when they get the bill, but not the explanation of services, or receive an explanation of services that makes no sense. That is, ahem, billing fraud, which can be a felony.
The worst thing that can happen is something that I'm predicting will happen; angry parents are going to visit the clinic and prevent further violence against their children with a 100-230 grain dose of cooper clad lead administered to the center of mass on some of the staff.
No doubt that gender disphoria is not an easy thing to handle, and those who have it have a horrendous rate of suicide attempts--40% by some accounts. But saying "we'll go ahead and hide what we're doing from everybody involved" simply serves to destroy the credibility of medical professionals in an age when the response to COVID, sometimes in a way that will lead to severe violence.
