UK Cass Review Exposes Lack of Evidence for Youth Gender Treatment Start listening at 29:45 – Hour 1 Dr. Travis Morrell, founder of Colorado Principal Physicians, reveals the findings of the UK’s comprehensive Cass Review on pediatric gender medicine. The four-year independent review commissioned by Britain’s National Health Service found no evidence supporting puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, despite American medical organizations continuing to promote these treatments. Morrell traces his own journey in medicine, noting that he began his career prescribing hormones to adults and was initially the only doctor in his clinic willing to do so. When he realized the same treatments were being applied to children, he recognized immediately that there was no evidence base for such interventions. The NHS noticed that referrals had exploded from 50 children per year to 2,000, with a dramatic shift from mostly boys to mostly girls. The conversation turns to the role of schools in social transitioning children behind parents’ backs. Morrell references the Art Club Movie documenting how a Colorado family discovered their daughter was being indoctrinated in a transgender support group disguised as an after-school art club. He emphasizes that parents, who would sacrifice their lives for their children, must be informed of what is happening in their schools. “The Cass review found, in short, that there really never was evidence for this kind of treatment, and there still isn’t evidence for this, but the side effects are pretty profound and obvious.” Dr. Travis Morrell, Founder, Colorado Principal Physicians Personal Injury Claims Require Immediate Action Start listening at 64:57 – Hour 2 Jon Boesen of Boesen Law shares a case study that underscores why accident victims must seek medical attention immediately.

Had she delayed even 30 minutes, she might not have survived. Boesen also addresses the growing concern around medical malpractice in gender medicine. When Kim asks whether lawsuits against hospitals performing these procedures on children could help bring accountability, Boesen agrees that hitting institutions in the pocketbook is often the only way to change behavior. He invites parents whose children have been harmed to contact his office. “Things are not going to change until people are held accountable. It starts with the money and ends with the money.” Jon Boesen, Boesen Law Property Taxes Triple for Colorado Small Business Start listening at 73:31 – Hour 2 Susan Kochevar, owner of the 88 Drive-In Theater now in its 48th season, describes how her property taxes jumped from $14,000 to $43,000 in a single year.
