It takes a lot for a person to have courage in the face of overwhelming legal, social, and professional pressure. Not many have that level of integrity. We all think we do, but when push comes to shove, only a minority pass the test. Major kudos to Dr. Haim.
An international hero. Thank you for elevating his story and message. All healthcare professionals used to think like him. And most still do - they’ve just been silenced through coercion the last decade.
"Lawfare" against the current crop of militant transsexual ideologues wil be extremely difficult. The elite bar has apparently been recruited to the transsexual side. In Texas, the ACLU is suing to block the law prohibiting genital surgeries and is represented by Baker and Botts, James Baker's old firm and widely regarded as perhaps the best lawyers in Texas. The Wall Street firm Sullivan and Cromwell is so far successfully attacking the similar law in Arkansas. The prominent Washington and Boston firm Wilmer Hale is involved in litigation in West Virginia.
What wasn't mentioned in the interview is the fact that the huge majority of the kids subjected to this quackery would simply mature into perfectly ordinary gay teens. The Cass Report estimates that's 80% of the boys and 90% of the girls. Many of them are terribly confused by their emerging same-sex attraction; some tragically do understand what's happening and finding the prospect of being gay intolerable, think sex change treatments would make them "straight" and so acceptable.

To be blunt, the transexual movement has emerged as the most vicious and dangerous homophobic effort ever. To make matters worse, several organizations, among them ACLU, Human Rights Campaign, GLAD, GLESN, PFlag, have been corrupted by huge donations from a couple of billionaire AGP fetishists to advocate for pro transsexual policies. Contrary to a simpleminded slogan gaining some currency, "Be Kind", I say No, tell the truth.
A fantastic conversation with Eithan Haim. It is truly inspiring. To read a summary of the ideology discussed in this interview, see my recent Substack titled "Marxism in America" at https://2026.substack.com/p/marxism-in-america
I finally got around to listening, and I'm so glad I did. It's such a relief to hear moral, professional, and honest men take a principalled stand that requires real sacrifice. Thank you both.
Must be nice to be able to waste good money on a NYT subscription...jk thanks for sharing. Amazing that David Brooks can see some of it so clearly and then remain otherwise so deranged.
I was looking forward to him sharing the next dozen revelations on his way to getting an actual clue, but it seems he felt very proud of himself for having that one revelation and decided to just call it a day.

Great interview and conversation! Courage on full display by Dr. Haim.
Welcome to Texas Mr. Boghossian. Beautiful State! Stay awhile!
Outstanding!

Must be nice to be able to blow $1000 on a bet ...

🙂 Only $8 a month -- I think I could get it reduced, but still generally a bargain so not worth the effort.
But Brooks at least broached the question -- "the longest journey begins with a single step". 🙂

Clever fellow your father ... 😉🙂
