Yes, they updated their website after the publicity. Glad to see you agree with the impact the account is having.

The hospital never offered surgery to "children". Chaya Raichik aka "Libs of TikTok" lied.

A minor is under eighteen years of age. Don’t like it then petition your legislators to increase the age.

I'm glad we agree then - they were offering the treatments to 17 year olds until "Libs of Tik Tok" publicised it.

Libs of TikTok is going to get more people killed by stirring up the latent hate among transphobes. This is the same type of stunt that lead to abortion clinic bombings. Don’t spread their hate. If you got a criticism you would be wise to find a source that isn’t so despicable.
