Plastic Surgeon Apologizes for Not Speaking Out About Youth Gender Surgeries at Major NYC Hospital

  • Dr. Ira Savetsky, a plastic surgeon trained at NYU Langone Health, apologized for not speaking out against irreversible gender surgeries on minors due to pressure to conform within elite medical culture.
  • NYU Langone Health announced it would discontinue its Transgender Youth Health Program, citing regulatory pressure from the Trump administration, which threatened to withdraw federal funding from hospitals offering such care, and the recent departure of their medical director.
  • Savetsky described the pressure on families to consent to surgeries, including claims that their child might die by suicide without treatment, and noted financial motivations influencing institutions to offer these procedures.
  • The hospital will continue pediatric mental health services despite ending the transgender youth program, and Savetsky credited President Trump for providing clarity on this issue while highlighting societal and institutional pressures pushing transgender medical interventions on youth.
