“Puberty Blockers, Cross-Sex Hormones,& The Dark Origins of Gender Ideology” w/Dr. Van Meter| Ep. 11

In this episode, pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Quentin Van Meter reveals the truth behind one of the most controversial practices in modern medicine: the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children with sexual identity confusion. He also outlines the disturbing legacy of John Money, the man whose unethical experiments helped launch today’s gender ideology. With over four decades of clinical experience, including training at Johns Hopkins and service in the U.S. Navy, Dr. Van Meter explains how chemical and surgical interventions on children with sexual identity disorder swept through pediatrics despite a lack of scientific evidence, how clinics rapidly adopted irreversible interventions, and why so many doctors feel pressured to “affirm” rather than question. Dr. Van Meter shares: • Why puberty blockers were never designed for interventions on children with sexual identity disorder • How blocking healthy puberty is not a harmless “pause button”, but disrupts brain development, bone density, and fertility • The irreversible harms caused by cross-sex hormones • The tragic story of the Reimer twins and John Money’s abusive and unethical experiments • Why Money’s disproven theories still influence today’s gender clinics • The medical, ethical, and psychological fallout he has seen firsthand • Why so many children presenting with distress about their sexual identity have underlying trauma • What true compassion looks like in treating kids with sexual identity distress He also recounts personal stories from his medical career, including the moment he realized John Money’s practices were deeply unethical, the pressure physicians face inside academic institutions, and why he believes history will judge this moment like other dark chapters of medical experimentation. Dr. Van Meter also shares what he believes parents and clinicians urgently need to know before making irreversible medical decisions for children. If you want to understand how unproven theories take over mainstream medicine, and what it takes for courage, ethics, and science to prevail, don’t miss this episode.
