HHS Launches Online Portal for Whistleblowers to Report ‘Chemical and Surgical Mutilation of Children’Katherine Hamilton 17 Apr 2025
President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a portal this week where whistleblowers can submit tips and complaints about “the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.”
HHS additionally published new guidance for whistleblowers who wish to expose transgender ‘sex change’ drugs and surgeries for confused minors, in line with President Trump’s executive order “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.”
The announcement also comes as the agency initiates an investigation “of a major pediatric teaching hospital” for allegedly firing a nurse who acted as a whistleblower and “exerci[sed] her federally protected rights of conscience.” HHS said the investigation will assess whether the hospital, which the agency did not name, violated federal law by firing a whistleblower nurse after she requested a religious accommodation to avoid administering cross-sex hormones to children. The nurse opposed such measures due to her religious beliefs “about the sterilization effects of these interventions,” HHS said.
“The Department will robustly enforce Federal laws protecting these courageous whistleblowers, including laws that protect health care professionals from being forced to violate their religious beliefs or moral convictions,” Acting HHS OCR Director Anthony Archeval said in a statement.
On Jan. 28, Trump issued an executive order titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” which states that “it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.” That order has been paused by a federal court.
