(LifeSiteNews) — A couple of years ago, many activists starting using a tagline when posting new reporting on horrifying stories emerging from our transgender regimes, stories of de-transitioners and children who received sex change “treatments” before they were old enough to drive: “One day, everyone will pretend they were always against this.”
The most radical LGBT activists, of course, will never back down. Most parents who transitioned their children, for example, will never be able to admit that it was all a mistake. How can they? To do so would be to admit that they sentenced their children to a lifetime of sterility, health challenges, and worse. Many of the perpetrators – the medical professionals who pushed these procedures and carried them out – will try to blame those who warned about these horrors.
But others will try to pretend that they didn’t know, even though they demonized those who spoke out. As the first generation of young people who grew up as the transgender craze was raging begin to tell their own stories, politicians who backed the parents of “transgender children” are twisting in the wind, trying to find ways of backing the powerful LGBT movement while distancing themselves from the scandal. The shape-shifting of California Governor Gavin Newsom has begun, and he will likely lead the way.
But even institutions still committed to LGBT ideology are beginning to hedge their bets. Boston Children’s Hospital hosted the first American pediatric gender clinic – something they have been very proud of and very vocal about. Yet, they have just erased their online history. As a (progressive) activist group noted earlier this month, the hospital “has deliberately blocked the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from preserving historical versions of its Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS) webpages.”
Boston Children’s Hospital has been one of the central institutions facilitating the transgender craze. As the report notes:
Founded in 2007, GeMS was the first pediatric gender clinic in the United States and has played an outsized role in shaping youth gender medicine worldwide. Its protocols, promotional materials, and public statements have been cited by other hospitals, advocacy groups, and government agencies as justification for introducing or expanding medical interventions for minors. Because of GeMS’s central place in the history of pediatric gender medicine, its past public communications are of significant historical and ethical interest.

Indeed – that is likely why their history is being carefully erased. The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine works to preserve the history of the internet, but now “old versions of nearly every page and program on the Boston’s Children’s Hospital website are viewable – except for the GeMS page, which returns a special notice: ‘This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.’” Usually, when a page was not preserved by the Wayback Machine, the message “unavailable” is displayed. “Excluded” means “the website owner has specifically requested that the page not be included in the archive.”
This isn’t the only step they’ve taken. As the report notes: “This targeted exclusion appears to coincide with the quiet removal of key references to surgeries and other irreversible interventions from the hospital’s live site. Blocking the public from accessing archived versions further shields these changes from scrutiny.”
In other words, Boston Children’s Hospital is taking steps to remove the actions of its pioneering gender clinic for children from the public record. Why?
The lawsuits that have been launched by victims of these “treatments” against other gender clinics are likely one reason. The fact that Boston Children’s Hospital was accused of handing out puberty blockers “like candy” is probably another. These gender clinics once saw their history as a source of pride. Now, it appears they see it as evidence.
