"... that falsely suggested the hospital is performing hysterectomies on transgender children, a hospital spokeswoman said. The torrent of harassment was accompanied by social media posts suggesting that Children’s be bombed and its doctors placed in a woodchipper. The recording, made by Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik, features two telephone operators at the renowned D.C. medical facility stating — in response to Raichik’s questions — that a 16-year-old trans boy would be eligible for a hysterectomy at the hospital’s gender development clinic. Children’s has not disputed the authenticity of the recording but said the employees provided inaccurate information."

This post marks the occasion of my abandoning the shorthand "WaPo" for The Washington Post. It suddenly looks offensively cutesy to me. It saves keystrokes but it imposes lightheartedness. 

The removal of healthy, functioning organs from children is shocking. True threats of violence are wrong, but they don't cancel out the wrongs that provoked the death threats. But did the hospital do wrong? We're told the recording was real — "not disputed" — but "employees provided inaccurate information." How inaccurate?

Here's the recording:
That's very clear. But the "employees" got something wrong? The Post provides this transcription of the call:
[T]wo hospital employees answering the phones state unambiguously that a minor patient could receive a gender-affirming hysterectomy.

“It depends. Each department’s different. Some departments cut off at 18,” one telephone operator says in response to Raichik’s question about whether a minor would be eligible for the surgery. “How old is your patient?”

“Sixteen,” Raichik says.

“Okay,” the operator replies. “Alright. So they’re in the clear.”

After confirming with a second person over the phone that a 16-year-old would be eligible for a gender-affirming hysterectomy, Raichik asks whether it is “a common procedure that you guys do for that age.”

“Yes, we have all different type of age groups that comes in for that,” the hospital worker responds.

“For the hysterectomy?” Raichik asks. 
“Yes, ma’am,” the employee says, adding later that she has “seen younger kids, younger than your child’s age” undergo the surgery.
The Post quotes hospital spokeswoman Ariana Ahmadi Perez: “None of the people who were secretly recorded by this activist group deliver care to our patients. We do not and have never performed gender-affirming hysterectomies for anyone under the age of 18."

Either the 2 employees — who spoke separately and clearly on the phone — were blatantly wrong or Ahmadi Perez is lying (or completely misinformed). Notice that the second employee is volunteering that she has seen the children. Maybe she's only seen children younger than 16 in the clinic because they were receiving other treatment and not specifically hysterectomies. Maybe the children only looked younger than 16.
