The Trump administration has moved to dismiss all charges against a doctor whistleblower who exposed transgender surgeries being performed in secret at a Texas children's hospital.
Texas surgeon Dr. Eithan Haim obtained documents proving that Texas Children’s Hospital was providing gender transition services in secret and passed them on to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo in order to stop the illegal procedures.
Â
Rather than sanctioning the hospital and the rogue doctors performing the surgeries the Biden administration responded by filing charges against Haim for violating HIPAA privacy statutes.
As Dr. Haim’s wife, Andrea Haim, explained in a lengthy post to X, their ordeal began 18 months ago when Dr. Haim discovered Texas Children's Hospital was mutilating and sterilizing young children while hiding it from the public.
Â
Literally hundreds of people knew it was happening. Some even thought it was wrong but were so morally weak that they performed the surgeries anyway.
Â
Dr. Haim was the only person with the courage to stand up for what was right. For him, it wasn't even a decision. Kids were being harmed, and he had to stop it.
Â
Andrea Haim further explained:
Â
Because of Eithan and Christopher Rufo, the Texas Legislature voted to save untold numbers of children in the State of Texas from the horrific consequences of transgender medical experimentation.
Â
It came at great personal cost. Between the two of us, we have had hundreds of sleepless nights worried that he would go to federal prison for 10 years. We are completely broke. He was forced to leave me and his newborn baby daughter in the hospital an hour after I had an emergency c-section to make a court appearance in Houston.
Â
But if you ask either of us, we would do it again in a heartbeat. Because of Eithan, the world is a better place for children, including our daughter. There is no greater gift we can give her than the knowledge that her daddy is a hero.
Â
I will have a lot more to say about what happened. The last few days have been terrifying. Eithan was a hair's breadth away from federal jail and a show trial that would make Stalin blush - all because he spoke out on X.
Â
But for now, we are going to end this ordeal the same way we started it. The first day the federal agents came to our home on the day of his graduation in June 2023, we didn't cower in fear. We sat on the balcony, drank champagne, and planned our war strategy. Today is for celebrating, tomorrow is for accountability.
Â
On Friday, Haim celebrated the announcement that the charges would be dismissed.
