Her affidavit has details that are even more damning: https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/2-07-2023-reed-affidavit---signed.pdf?sfvrsn=6a64d339_2

It's happening. Finally.

Reddit reactions are interesting too. I searched using text instead of the article so I could find posts from other sources:

https://old.reddit.com/search?q=gender+clinic+whistleblower&restrict_sr=&include_over_18=on&sort=new

Ultra-liberal and trans-hugbox communities are predictably calling her a terf bigot with no authority to speak on medical issues, and that she is clearly a bootlicker for conservatives.

Truscum/transmeds are kinda all over the place - some agreeing more gatekeeping is needed and whistleblowing on these practices will help, and others being more TRA-adjacent and nitpicking words and phrases used as "dogwhistles" so they can discredit her.

Other communities are finally allowing articles to be shared, after mods were removing them like crazy yesterday (r/StLouis is one example of a sub that censored heavily). Seems like most non-LGBTQalphabet are on-board, regardless of political affiliation, and interested in the results of further investigations.

Interestingly I only got "there doesn't seem to be anything here" when I clicked your search link just now.

Does that link still give you search results?

Completely comical that they are trying to censor this. Let the Streisand Effect games begin.

Its giving me nothing now also, I think maybe Reddit search broke. They did have a "security incident" this week, maybe this is some fallout.

This is one post I remember finding, and using Reddit search with keywords from the title doesn't give me any results:

https://old.reddit.com/r/StLouis/comments/10yuz5e/missouri_attorney_general_launches_investigation

But I was also reading posts about it in r/transmedical and r/transgender, and neither of those subs now have the posts I saw this morning. So it wouldn't surprise me if news of it is still being scrubbed.

Okay that search is working again now but yeah, I'd expect that censorship is ongoing. Current sample:

For some reason that link gave me nothing, I also get nothing when I go into normal Reddit for my laptop, am I just a boomer who doesn't know how to search Reddit?

She doesn't even advocate doing away with transgender healthcare altogether, just points out worrisome trends. The teenager not being aware of what certain medications would do to his body is a big warning signal. This is the type of scrutiny any sort of care should get, and you'd think even pro-trans people would like the idea of the process being improved: the right people would get the right treatment. But apparently the very act of walking through the door makes you "the right person."

As pointed out by others, even the practice of using the word "affirming" in trans healthcare is weird. The very process of going through the hormone and surgical procedures is marketed as this self-actualization process. This article in Vice talks about people who want unusual genital configurations (e.g. a vagina and a penis, or complete nullification): https://www.vice.com/en/article/4axp3n/trans-people-are-seeking-nonbinary-bottom-surgeries

I find it interesting that the article talks about "so-called transmedicalists," who talk about dysphoria being the main criteria for needing the surgery. Dysphoria is being used as the shield under which the surgeries are characterized as "life saving care," even as dysphoria is waved away as this narrow-minded way of thinking about trans issues.
