Earlier this year, a former Planned Parenthood worker filed a whistleblower complaint<\/a> against the Washington University Pediatric Transgender Center at St. Louis Children\u2019s Hospital, claiming the center showed children were being routinely prescribed puberty blockers or hormone therapy without \u201cappropriate or accurate\u201d mental health assessments.<\/p>\n

“In her affidavit, Reed alleged patients were routinely provided medication ‘without informed parental consent.’ She also alleged that the center did not obtain custody agreements from divorced parents to ensure all parties consented to treatment,” according to NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jamie Reed, a former case manager at the center who<\/a> “considered herself a fierce champion of the gender-affirming model,”\u00a0previously worked at Planned Parenthood (a top provider<\/a> of \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d), at an H.I.V. clinic, and in the foster care system, the New York Times claimed.<\/p>\n

In July, while the former Planned Parenthood worker claimed pediatric gender centers were not “big money makers,” she tweeted<\/a> from her @JamieWhistle handle on “X”: “Planned Parenthood (and I was a clinical manager at PP years ago) makes money from visits. We used to stack 4 patients an hour. The quicker the ‘assessment’ the more they make.”<\/p>\n

Reed added in a separate tweet in the thread, “I think this is a money maker for @PPFA.”<\/p>\n
