Author and journalist Matt Walsh, who broke the story on how Vanderbilt University Medical Center was caught providing transgender surgeries to minors, announced that he is holding a rally at the Tennessee State Capitol to “end child mutilation, sterilization, and abuse in Tennessee hospitals and beyond.”
Join us on October 21 at the state capitol as we rally to end child mutilation across the state. We are going to put a stop to gender ideology’s assault on our children. Come and be a part of the movement.

The Rally to End Child Mutilation will take place on Friday, October 21 at 4 p.m. near the Tennessee State Capitol (War Memorial Plaza) in Nashville.
Speakers at the event will include The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, Majority Leader for the Tennessee House of Representatives William Lamberth (R-Portland); former Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck along with wife and founder of Freedom Forever, Landon Starbuck; and more yet to be announced.
The rally is free to attend; however, those interested in going are encouraged to RSVP in order for organizers to estimate expected attendance.
When Walsh broke the news about Vanderbilt’s gender clinic, he told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson at the time, “We know for a fact … that [at] Vanderbilt they perform double mastectomies on minor girls … They give [children] irreversible hormone drugs that change their bodies permanently.”

In response, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee called for an investigation into the matter, saying in a statement, “The ‘pediatric transgender clinic’ at Vanderbilt University Medical Center raises serious moral, ethical and legal concerns. We should not allow permanent, life-altering decisions that hurt children or policies that suppress religious liberties, all for the purpose of financial gain. We have to protect Tennessee children, and this warrants a thorough investigation.”
Additionally, in a letter to Vanderbilt, 62 Tennessee state House members demanded the institution stop mutilating children.
This is a time in which elected leaders must boldly lead and speak on behalf of the people.
I’ve been joined by my esteemed @tnhousegop colleagues in formally requesting that Vanderbilt Medical halt all gender transition surgeries on minors.

“The Vanderbilt Pediatric Transgender Clinic’s practices qualify as nothing less than abuse. We, the elected representative body of the state of Tennessee, ask members of the VUMC Board of Directors to take immediate action by halting all permanent gender transition surgeries being performed on minor children,” the letter states.

I wonder why Janice Bowling isn’t a headliner…after all it was Lamberth and the “administration” that roadblocked her bill that would have made Vanderbilt’s chop shop illegal. TNGOP made sure that bill wouldn’t make it out of committee. Now they are grandstanding and “writing a stern letter” about what they have ignored AND PROTECTED for years.
There are 99 House members so, if ONLY 62 members signed on to stop this lunacy, we have a HUGE problem that 28 members DID NOT sign this letter!!!
Tennessee may be more perverse and/or corrupt than many Tennesseans believe.
Where is our Republican Governor. Me thinks he is a RINO…i.e., bought and paid for by globalist and communist interests. SHUT THAT CHynna UNIVERSITY DOWN NOW! No more public funding and no more fundraising either. I for one am sick of being asked to fund their SJW liberal ideologies at the grocery store!
Too young to smoke drink vote drive have a credit card
But libs think not too young to irreversibly multilateral themselves?
Liberals are sick in the head
We can’t get a fire lit under our state Rep or Senator to get road improvements in Wilson County, but I get updates on this.
They’d rather try to keep you in fear of things that aren’t happening than actually do their job.
