Neeraja Deshpande, Policy Analyst at Independent Women, joins The Morning Update.

Neeraja discusses the recent HHS report that reinforces what Independent Women and countless medical experts and researchers have warned for years: surgical and chemical mutilation—from puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to surgical operations—is dangerous and built on zero long-term evidence.

In addition, Neeraja and host Jeff Chidester discuss how Independent Women’s Features (IW Features) has been highlighting the stories of detransitioners and their families through its “Identity Crisis” series, which further underscores the harm this care has caused.
