(LifeSiteNews) Top-rated pediatric medical institution Boston Children’s Hospital has come under fire for a now-viral video in which a cheerful obstetrician glibly promoted the surgical mutilation of young women via “gender-affirming” surgery.
In the since-removed video, BCH obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Frances Grimstad smilingly described how physicians perform elective “gender-affirming” hysterectomies.

“A gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur,” Grimstad said in the video, explaining that “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.”
The doctor went on to explain that the ovaries may or may not also be removed during the so-called “gender-affirming hysterectomy.”
It’s unclear whether BCH performs the “gender-affirming” hysterectomies on minors, or only on those aged 18 and up.
The clip promoting the mutilating surgeries was snagged and posted to Twitter by transgender ideology opponent Billboard Chris, and later reposted by popular conservative Twitter profile Libs of Tik Tok. It has since generated well over a million hits.
“We have reached a level of barbarism truly unprecedented in the entire history of the human race,” reacted Daily Wire podcaster and author Matt Walsh.
“Major surgery that takes many months to recover from, & which leaves you sterile. That such ops are happening in a children’s hospital is downright evil,” wrote journalist Helen Joyce, who authored the book: “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality.”
“How can these people live with themselves?” Joyce asked.
Meanwhile, the clip featuring Dr. Grimstad wasn’t the only video from Boston Children’s Hospital to generate backlash among opponents of radical mutilating surgeries.
The segment was among a 90-video YouTube playlist from the top-rated hospital, in which licensed medical professionals addressed topics including “What is a vaginoplasty?” “What is a phalloplasty?” “When does a child know they’re transgender?” and “What are puberty blockers?”
The YouTube playlist has since been removed following outcry.
