In this episode, Stella & Sasha sit down with Vanessa Sivadge, a former pediatric nurse at Texas Children's Hospital, who courageously exposed the illegal use of federally funded insurance programs to cover sex hormones and transgender treatments for minors. Initially coming forward anonymously as a whistleblower, Vanessa believed her concerns would incite meaningful change, only to face repercussions from the government. After disclosing the hospital’s concealed practices, she was met with an unexpected visit from FBI agents-an act she interprets as intimidation.
Vanessa recounts her journey, reflecting on her decision to publicly come forward in June 2024. She shares how she faced almost immediate backlash, being placed under investigation, put on leave, and ultimately terminated, prompting her to pursue legal action for wrongful termination.
This conversation examines the evolving 'groupthink' culture within hospitals, exacerbated by the pandemic, which has discouraged open dialogue and questioning among medical professionals. Vanessa’s story underscores the complexities of healthcare practices, specifically surrounding gender-affirming care, the ethical implications of medical documentation, and the critical importance of safeguarding patient welfare. It also emphasizes the value of whistleblowers as empowering and necessary for fostering accountability and promoting a culture of transparency.
Drawing from her experiences, Vanessa offers up three essential strategies for individuals contemplating speaking out about their concerns.

Who cares if she comes at this issue from a religious or secular perspective, and who cares if she feels persecuted and whether or not she actually is. Children are being harmed and she wants to help them. Stay focused on the goal, and stop nitpicking her reasons for wanting to do what's right.
I see ur point. And I know that the Biden administration is all in on affirming care for kids. So if a federal agency like the (FBI) is talking to people like today’s guest, it is n’t about her religion, it’s about the federal government enforcing its position on trans care.. so yeah, I guess it was nitpicking. Kinda. 🤷🏻
Exactly
Facts. This isn't religious persecution. This is straight up child abuse and coercion.
Well, I think pointing out the multiple legal protections that the medical profession is prepared to break in pursuit of this ideology is quite important.
1. They ignored
the Texas legal ban,
2. They falsified medical insurance claims (embezzlement)
3. They used the FBI to threaten her with unwarranted claims (threatening with menace),
4. They ignored legal protections created to protect religious persecution.
Layer upon layer of criminality.
Makes you realise who "they" are. Evidently a person or persons very senior in the administrative apparatus of the organisation.
Someone concerned with finance?
Or is it someone who has bought into Queer theory and is using the hospital to affirm and proselytise their own pseudo religious faith?
@@AndyJarman It has been so perplexing how this is spreading and being embraced in such a deep manner. Your comment equating queer theory and affirming it as a pseudo religious faith sounds really plausible. I am currently watching someone called amethysta explain how men really are women and only magical thinking could make the arguments make sense. Well, to me any way. I can't wrap my head around it in any kind of positive way. It's a little close to home so I'm a bit in the fog of it all. It's so crazy to my sensibilities. Thanks for your comment.
Puberty blockers are criminal. It's a loophole moneymaker. We as adults need to do a better job of protecting the upcoming generations.
The FBI showed up to her door, admitting so because of her beliefs, the hospital denied her religious exemption and then fired her for whistleblowing against the hospital for objectively illegal activity. Yet, some of you in this comment thread think she's the criminal and religious persecution doesn't exist.
I think she's being persecuted for not believing in the Cult of Trans, and her Christianity is not what's being targeted. It's just not credible to suggest that Christians are under attack in the United States of America.
I applaud her bravery. Not many would have the strength to do this. That's why these things happen.
Appreciate anyone who speaks out against this cult, regardless of what drives them. Great "problematic guest" (see someone else's comment below) and fantastic show as always. Thank you for what you ladies do.
I'm not going to lie, it's hard to listen when the Christianity script starts 🤔 I wish they could edit those parts out haha
Chill pill needed @@KatMoore-ih6mw
@KatMoore-ih6mw yes bc censorship is so helpful. Use your ff button and move on if you don't like differing viewpoints.
Edited to add: Censorship is how we got here in the first place, be it self censoring by politeness and not wanting to hurt feeling with facts or otherwise.
Wow. People in the comment section really seem to have a problem with her faith!
Despite being a pretty secular person, I'll choose her brand of unapologetic Christianity over, let's say, what passes as the Anglican Church these days. At least, when it comes to safeguarding children.
"You will know them by their fruits.", as the good book says.
And that's what we are all here for, right? So, could the zealous atheists take a chill-pill, please? Eyes on the price, people.
the problem is that her faith is not grounded in reality and it influences her opinion regardless of what the science, data and research says. She's a bad faith actor because she chooses her faith which is unfalsifiable and has a long of rich history of harming people. Let the people who are grounded in science call the shots, not a religious individual who believes in fairy tale stories.
@@bigred-m9h -- Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've had years of trans activists telling us that the 'science' says we have to be castrating our children -- with no shortage of science-trained doctors supporting their ideology. Same thing goes for Covid. The whole of the scientific establishment came out and lied to us, sacrificed the lives of thousands of old people, sacrificed much of our young people's education, hosed our global economy. Shit, look at the holocaust -- where scientists by their thousands had no problem experimenting on people and ushering jews, gays, etc. into the concentration camps. Science, scientists and scientific ideology does NOT have a monopoly on ethics -- and the same thing is true of atheism. Lenin/Stalin, Pol-pot, Mao -- all atheists, between them they were responsible for the biggest genocides in history.
I don't believe in God. I stopped believing about the same time I stopped believing in Santa Claus -- but Jesus, so many atheists are so ignorant, so lacking in humility and insight that every time I hear one spouting off, I'm embarrassed to count myself among their numbers.
@@bigred-m9h But if you go beneath your dislike of her beliefs she is making a point that is objectively (in the world of medical research, data, and developmental psychology) true, so who cares about the faith part? Your point is only valid if her faith is preventing her from following the best evidence, which it is not. In this case it is a side issue.
@@amaryllisequistra its not objective, the science overwhelmingly leans in favor of trans medicine and care.
Your arguement is equivliant to "yes this person is a flat earther but who cares, that doesn't mean they would be an awful astronomer"
@@bigred-m9h If you want to dismiss the 3.5 years of independent analysis that resulted in the Cass Report (which found the same as Finland, Norway, and Sweden’s systematic reviews), you’d better have some pretty impressive research bona fides, or you’ll sound like an empty head flapping your mouth with unsupported nonsense dribbling out…
It sounds like the insurance companies are oddly in collusion with these diagnostic miscodings.
Insurance companies are in bed with pharma companies. It’s all a scam.
I graduated nursing school in 2011. I don't think we were ever taught about gender dysphoria. I do remember it was in my psych textbook, but there was not much info about it.
Im not a Christian or religious, but i know there's only 2 sexes!
Thanks for speaking up about this!!💖💖💖
It's interesting to see how many folks in this comment section are so triggered by this woman's mention of her religious orientation and beliefs, and subsequently so eager to out their own polarized thinking, and degenerate into questioning her veracity and sincerity, and lobbing labels. Is it religion that bothers those folks so much? Or the fact that it is Christianity? If she were a Muslim and did the same thing for religious reasons, would they still be as triggered?
YES i would be as triggered. I hate religious nuts of all confessions.
@@RoseJackson1607 If I understand you correctly, by "triggered," do you mean that, in your mind, if a person is religious, the person is automatically a "nut"? And if a person is religious, no matter what they say, no matter how reasonable or supported via empirical evidence it is, you dismiss it? And regardless of the scenario, if you know the person is religious, or if the person admits to being religious, that's a deal-breaker for you? All because you "hate" them?
@@SailaSobriquet I'm not answering that many questions, but I'm gonna tell you something : this woman being interviewed here mentioning her faith at least 3 times in 10 min (I'm estimating) is not a good look for the gender critical movement. Have a nice day or evening.
@@RoseJackson1607 Why is that?
@@RoseJackson1607 Irrelevant. Why can't she believe in Jesus? It is her faith that has given her the strength to stand up for children and families in the way most of us here have not, me included.
Thank you Vanessa, for being an ethically awesome person, who has been brave enough to do right, in a place of clandestine oppression. Keep on shining as ray of hope🤩. As good comes out of bad, you are the one who can sleep at night. Also, escaping from this environment sooner rather than later is such a good thing to do. It’s their loss. At your age I came into my own, as an adult, and to look at you is phenomenal. The world is your oyster with your newly fledged freedom. Celebrate your glorious escape 🫶🌟xx
When Vanessa gave the advice of what to do if you want to blow the whistle, one thing she left out was do not tell the FBI anything if they show up at your door. Tell them you’re going to get an attorney and you’ll come to their office with your attorney.
Funny how they come to your home eh? If it's to do with your place of work why not interview you at work? They did this with Eithan Haim too, very KGB.
@@AndyJarman I want to know how the US government is allowed to weaponise the FBI like this… it's chilling
Well done Vanessa. Gutsy effort. And so refreshing to hear someone consistently refer to sex, and not get distracted with the gender woo woo language.
Her Christian faith gave her the strength to do what is right rather than what is easy.
Psychiatrist Dr Jillian Spencer in Australia has been going through something similar…
As a retired paediatric nurse (retired Nov 2016) who worked in a team that was research and best practice based- it seems unreal to me that this sort of care is being allowed to continue.I applaud the whistle-blowers. Excellent content Ladies - as usual. 🇬🇧❤️❌❌
Another courageous whistleblower and another great conversation 🧡
This has blown me away. Like this is just crap. This is a like a real life horror movie!
THIS YOUNG LADY IS MY HERO AND WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.
Agree 100%
Testosterone is an antidepressant, so future researchers of trans joy have to eliminate the effects of this steroid/testosterone when assessing a female’s status. I learned this from a lesbian friend of mine, who has serious, multiple DSM diagnoses, and who told me about the positive effects of testosterone on their depression.
The effects are temporary
You may be correct that the initial surge of antidepressants from the testosterone is temporary, but don’t men in general have lower rates of depression? Might that be caused by higher testosterone?
@@bethsuter4637Yes but… they are also more prone to suicide when depressed.
Everyone needs to cool down on the KGB comparisons. The KGB didn't knock on your door and question you. Rather, they broke down your door, took you away, and your family never saw you again. I know this because I have relatives who were sent to Siberia. Only one of them survived. Whatever you think of the FBI knocking on her door, they didn't arrest her. They questioned her. Police question people too. The FBI are just the federal police. If you think police questioning is fascist, then no crimes would ever be solved. She didn't need to speak to them. Unless they have an arrest warrant, they can't force you to do anything, and you have an absolute right to remain silent.
Thank God for people like this woman. I wish more people were so ethical
Errors are only corrected as errors after it's discovered and often minimized as not substantial. Misrepresentation of parental relationships also is unchecked in health insurance, by a transidentified parent. Misgendering in medicine is potentially dangerous.
I am a committed atheist, I can honestly say I'm constitutionally incapable of embracing faith, but people like you make make grateful and relieved that religion persists. Vanessa, I have endless admiration for the courage that your faith gives you. Goodness knows, atheists have done their share fo sitting on the sidelines and letting this evil prevail.
It was eye-opening to learn about the tactics that a respected hospital is willing to adopt in order to provide treatment that is illegal. Illegal medical practices have always existed, and society has often tolerated them when they aligned with widely shared ethical judgments-illegal abortions are a prime example. However, what sets the case of “gender-affirming care” apart is that we’re not dealing with some obscure private clinic, but rather with a major, leading hospital. Gender ideology has gripped some of the most influential institutions, and that grip is strong enough to push them to defy the law.
While I certainly see the dangers in a large hospital breaking the law on such a significant scale and covering its tracks, what concerns me even more is how we can persuade these institutions and their supporters that they are mistaken in believing this treatment is beneficial. A religious argument, in this case, would be entirely unhelpful. Most people who support “gender-affirming care” are secular and liberal, and they view criticism of these treatments as stemming from a conservative worldview-one that would also oppose, for example, same-sex marriage. This is why someone like Vanessa, despite her courage and the valuable evidence she brings from the clinic, is unlikely to sway those who genuinely believe they are doing the right thing for these children and adolescents.
This woman’s voice is absolutely needed if we want to fight the battle from all sides. Not only has the pro transitioning message infiltrated hospitals and schools, it is now also in the churches. We are taught to love all, but we are turning that lesson into “just accept.” Don’t question or speak out or you may be called a religious zealot.
There's something to be said about how the insurance laws might have first been passed with no backing followed by a chain on debt and how most countries that support this sort of intervention are undergoing it.
“Chain on debt”?
As in: the medical debt of patients will benefit wall street banksters who buy insurance companies as subsidiaries?
There is a lot going on in this segment. I'm not clear what the whistle blowing was. If the dr says, from here on out in my notes I will refer to the preferred gender. The dr stipulates right there that they know the biological gender is conflicted. Does this mean all paperwork was then changed from bio to preferred? If in fact a doctor was misrepresenting the bio-sex and the diagnosis to get certain medical care that should be investigated. I have a lot of issues with so much of what was said though. I found the FBI video. It is nothing but introductions and a request to sit down. There is no evidence of anything else. Sure it is unsettling, but just as the guest stated there are laws in place to protect, especially HIPAA violations. If she was "investigating" drs notes and patient files without authority she violated her position especially with writing articles about any patients. If the families find any correlations to her speaking out they could and should be seeking litigation against the hospital. This seems like a lot of issues all pushed under a gender care umbrella. I don't disagree that the gender care is extremely questionable. That too is a massive issue. This particular segment really needs further hashing out.
To clarify, according to Vanessa the medical charts listed the “preferred sex” as the sex. Only if you read all the doctor’s notes could you ascertain that the sex listed was not the biological sex.
@@widerlenspod Thank you. That is a deeply concerning finding. It smacks of early Johns Hopkins testing on men when they did not know it was going on.
I think your guest is sincere in her beliefs, and it sounds like she followed her gut and did the right thing regarding what she saw happening at her hospital.
I disagree with her assertion that government agencies are being weaponized against people of faith. Unfortunately, this is a sort of victim mentality that’s been adopted by the right in order to gain support for the conservative cause, and has lead to a lot of paranoia, all of which serves no one.
Other than that, your guest is to be admired for her courage.
It would be helpful to her to look more closely into what she sees as the weaponization of government against religious people.
I agree. And voicing her faith as the driving factor in her response gives the wrong headed government officials more power over this. Faith and Politics need to be kept out of this argument. It does not help Stick to science as a nurse.
It's not just against religious people. It's anyone who questions this nefarious industry using kids as guinea pigs.
@@llkoolbean4935no the point is its NOT against religious people, they just think it is. It's their Christian persecution complex that leads them to believe they will be persecuted by "the world" since the Bible tells them so
@@beppygibson the FBI and other agencies don't have to have a vendetta against religious people for their association to be weaponized against them. In this case the actions of her morality led to the hospital weaponizing the FBI, likely through slight manipulation of the story.
If you backtrack and look at it from that perspective, it's not at all a victim mentality but what really happened. I'm not a religious person and I used to have a really hard time finding nuance in conversation once religion was brought up but the insanity of gender ideology and a few other things have helped me keep my brain from shutting down at the first mention of faith.
I only mention it because I've been there. We all have certain things that trigger our antivirus software and religion is definitely amongst them.
@@kashesanShe is on the right side of science.
Brave
Thank you Ms. Sivadge. 🐿
Harvest cannot and will not be impeded.
It’s shocking that the insurance companies put up with being charged for medically unnecessary procedures. After all they challenge medically necessary procedures all the time. Even if they are bought off by an ideology into break medical ethics, what about their fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
How very creepy that a female staff member is forced to inject a hormone into a male boss for the purpose of his misogynistic larping. Bet it gave him a boner to cross that woman’s boundary. He could have asked a male staff member - but no. It has to be a woman because it’s all about men getting something over on women and if the women show any healthy boundaries, to harrass them further using the power of an abusive system for their own narcissistic supply.
I wonder whether those FBI agents were from Texas. I would have assumed that anything they did like that in Texas would not be countenanced by Texans and maybe cause yet another boomerang state policy effect they weren’t expecting …
To clarify, she was not asked to inject hormones into her boss. It was a patient.
While I have no objection to people practicing their faith, the things that came out of Vanessa's mouth added to the myth that those who oppose gender affirming care are extreme ideologues from the right. Her comments on covid and abortion made her lose some credibility among those who hold mainstream views on those topics.
I get frustrated when people blend multiple social issues with gender medicine--it is a slippery slope. Lately gender critical folks are veering into the DEI complex and Gaza activism. While there is some overlap, these issues deserve to be looked at on their own. Seems like there is a knee jerk reaction to anything advocated by the progressive left which I think is intellectually lazy. Remember, these folks are reacting (or overreacting) to real things that happened in the past-- demonization of minorities and injustice.
People need to understand that religious ideology poisons the waters of our dissent. Be religious, have your relationship with god, let it guide you, great, but it doesn't work as a way to fight against another ideology that cannot be disproven. The two are on equal ground, old religion vs new religion, but the gendies are better at _presenting themselves_ as objective and scientific. We have to fight against the whole false consensus issue with REAL scientific inquiry. The only way to beat them is to be more rational and show the world absolute objective truth.
That said, I don't have a problem with the lovely Stella and Sasha bringing this guest on and letting her talk. She's a good guest and her experiences are worth sharing. I just wish she and others like her were able to see the bigger picture.
As an atheist myself who is passionate about this issue, it is really disappointing to see many fellow atheists so damn triggered by her beliefs.
What’s more important, stopping the wholesale mutilation of confused kids, or bitching that her faith played a part in her decision to speak up?
It will take a complete mutiny, made up of people from all walks of life to overcome this outrageous farce being perpetrated on our kids. Put your hatred of religion aside for the sake of children FFS.
I agree with her on all the hospital malpractice and whistle blowing related to that. The FBI certainly should not be used for intimidation. However, if this is the man outside the PA abortion clinic "praying" he admitted to shoving a 72 year old clinic escort. He was acquitted of assault charges but he admit she shoved her. He wasn't "just praying."
No one has the right to harass or assault people who have different beliefs than yours. Goes both ways. The escort was doing a job, Houck's only reason to be there was confrontation, not silent prayer. The only reason that got DOJ attention is because the law in question was federal not local. I'm also wondering why with an admission of guilt that he did shove the escort that he was let off.

When you encounter something shocking at a prestigious institution in healthcare, as a new nurse, the first year you are stunned by the shock. Then, the second year you start coming to your senses and realize that this is indeed what/how healthcare is practiced at this place. At the start of the third year you duck and make the choice of keeping your patients safe, whatever it takes.

Ms. Sivadge's religious views seem to have raised eyebrows in the comments, but they are not the point. She is quite clear that the focus of her objections were that the practices where she worked were not based on the normal ethical expectations of a medical institution, and a recognition of biological reality. I don't know which flavour of Christianity Ms. Sivadge follows, but it seems likely that she is more like Kenneth Miller than Ken Ham.
To the point about the FBI 'persecution', it is common to perceive such organisations as benevolent when they are targeting people you don't like, but to think that they have somehow changed when they come after you. Actually they haven't.
There is also a principle which seems to have fallen out of favour in recent times; people can be right about some things, and wrong about others.
It's crazy! This purity bullshit is how we got here! America will certainly fall to the gender cult.
As to her story about the Christian dad who was taken away for “only” praying in front of an “abortion clinic”, people can pray wherever and whenever they want, but doing it in an ostentatious way is not about someone’s personal faith, it’s a message. The message is one that is embraced by many violent extremists so I’m not surprised law enforcement got involved. It’s not about faith, faith is private, it’s about overtly political actions.
I think this story is more than she represented. "Just praying" in from of the abortion clinic? Not so sure about that.
I disagree with people protesting abortion clinics but it should be the local cops moving them on, not FBI breaking their doors down. It's legal to oppose abortion. Depending on locality it may or may not be legal to shout at people trying to access abortion. Personally I think they should not be allowed to protest within X metres of the clinic doors but that's just my opinion. It's also two tier policing. Imagine if someone was protesting outside a gender clinic screaming at the kids going in vs what happens when people try to hold a peaceful demonstration in a public square about this issue and the TRAs threaten to kill them, actually assault women, drown them out with noise pollution and the police do nothing.
@@AleeBay We don't actually know why the FBI arrested him. But I am confident it wasn't for "simply" praying.
Thanks!
Great conversation. My only minor critique is that I would like Sasha and Stella to do more to steer the conversation away from the religious angle. To be fair, they did do that to some extent in this conversation, but too much emphasis on the "faith-based" motivation gives the other side ammunition. It's enough that they (Texas Children's) were breaking the law ... she reported it ... and they punished her for it.
Texas Children’s Hospital also appears to have broken employment law in terms of her religious objections. So her faith is actually a really important part of her story and her lawsuit.
@@widerlenspod These laws are very problematic themselves.
thank you... though thinking that 'fighting 'terrorists'' is synonymous with 'good guys' is part of the problem, terrorism was a western creation from so many angles, look into the bombing of the king david hotel, into the secret history of al queda, or al CIAda. generally speaking, the FBI have not been the good guys for a very long time, if ever...some fall victim to more cognitively deficient propaganda than others... but thank you for understanding this gender reassignment fallacy...
The persecution complex is a bad look.
A problematic guest from the start, in my opinion, because she uses her faith to justify her position on gender: I found myself wondering whether she even believes in evolution?
However, I was open minded and listened carefully to what she had to say: after all, she has the experience of having worked in the hospital - I do not.
I was a bit sceptical that the FBI were threatening her when they came to her door - maybe they were but maybe they were genuinely concerned for her safety? Still listening open minded but sceptical, at this point.
But when she says the FBI have been weaponised to come after people of faith I had to stop the video and write this comment because she has revealed herself as part of a right wing conspiracy theory typically found in American Evangelical organisations and amongst Christian Nationalists and MAGA's.
None of this discredits her story, of course, but it would have been more powerful had it not been driven by Christian conspiracy persecution complex.
You know you are making sweeping generalizations. I'm a liberal Christian whistleblower. Stop projecting.
Why do you care what her motivation is when she standing up to protect kids? And the FBI has shown its political leftist political motivations for the past decade. She's not the first gender whistleblower who has been threatened by them. I may disagree that they only target Christians and say it's more so anyone right of center but she's not wrong. Weird flex.
@jcimsn8464 no they are spot on. Christians think the US government is so against them, they teach that to their kids... despite the fact that so many members of the government are Christian.... it's silly. They LOVE being persecuted or at least pretending to be. It's a huge part of their "beliefs" ever heard one say "as Christians, the world may persecute us, but we must suffer for Christ" etc so yeah this ladies religious beliefs do kind of make her sound less genuine since it's a lot of what she says is just Christian script. Too bad because we do need more whistle blowers.
You’re the one who comes across as the conspiracy theorist when you bandy about terms like right wing and maga!
@@uwaviatorprobably because it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to realize someone only spoke out about something because of their religious beliefs instead of them arriving at the conclusion on their own. When you go to church, they TELL you what to think, when you're not a part of a religion, you think for yourself. That's the difference. So it's hard to connect with people like her since it's like talking to a Christian script or in our case, listening to one.
Interesting post from dr R at TWIV (well this is This Week immunology) about how trans sex hormones in adults affect the immune system . After i added a comment saying that sex is not assigned at birth but rather is determined at conception , i was no longer able to add comments .
ruclips.net/video/8sQ7jzedQIk/видео.htmlsi=crYsnSmCW_7vxF-o
I've noticed that the folks atTWIV never talk about transgender issues and that Dr Griffin (who has been doing a very good weekly COVID and other new diseases update) has used the term pregnant people several times. I think he works for a large HMO so if he doesn't say this he may get in trouble .
Wow, so you CAN question mRNA technology now, but not trans ideology!? This is all VERY weird.
Good news, I just took a look your comment is up there in the comments section! Along with a couple of others questioning the idea of "trans" gender ideology! Yey!
