The woman who blew the whistle on child sex changes at Texas Children’s Hospital says she has been fired.

Nurse Vanessa Sivadge was one of several whistleblowers who reportedly revealed details about the Houston hospital performing sex change procedures on children as young as 11, as well as alleged Medicaid fraud related to sex changes for minors.

Sivadge said she was fired on Friday “effective immediately” in a message to City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, who broke the story of her whistleblower allegations. Rufo posted her message to social media on Monday.

“No regrets,” Sivadge posted in response.

 

Sivadge said back in May that she requested a religious accommodation to transfer from the endocrinology clinic to the cardiology clinic so that she would no longer have to participate in putting children on cross-sex hormones.

However, she was put on leave the day after her whistleblower allegations went public. Texas Children’s cited her claims and her request for religious accommodation, she said.

“This is unlawful for two reasons: it is retaliation for my coming forward with information on TCH’s egregious pattern of deception and Medicaid fraud, and this action also illegally disregarded my request to transfer due to my belief that these procedures bring irreversible harm and lifelong regret to children confused about their sex,” Sivadge said.

Sivadge said she would like to challenge her firing but is currently relying on donations from the public for her legal fees.

Earlier this year, Sivadge went public with allegations that Texas Children’s was openly committing Medicaid fraud when it came to cross-sex hormones for children.

“I saw some examples of providers who were intentionally misdiagnosing transgender patients for the purpose of justifying those cross-sex hormones,” Sivadge said during an appearance on “Relatable” with Allie Beth Stuckey last month.

“A healthy, 16-year-old male was said to have an estrogen deficiency as the official diagnosis, and that then allowed the doctor to prescribe estrogen to this healthy boy, and vice versa with the female,” she said.

“They were not trying to hide this,” Sivadge said.

Other whistleblower accusations against Texas Children’s, the biggest children’s hospital in the country, involve providers inserting an implantable puberty blocker in multiple children, including an 11-year-old girl, City Journal reported last year.

The other children who got “drug delivery implants” inserted were 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 years old, according to the medical records.

Also, the hospital has “activist” doctors and a “culture of fear” around gender treatments for children, whistleblowers alleged.
