New York Times defends surgeon who mutilates children in the name of gender transition

“More Teens are Choosing ‘Top Surgery’,” announces the headline of an article published in The New York Times on Monday, which also features a photograph of Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher, the Miami surgeon who refers to performing bilateral mastectomies on girls and young women who believe themselves to be men with the catchy phrase "yeet the teets."

Dr. Gallagher, the article notes, has taken the unusual approach of embracing social media platforms such as TikTok to promote her services to impressionable teenage minds, which has made her something of a celebrity in the world of medical professionals who chop healthy body parts off distressed teens and young adults. She performed 13 top surgeries on minors last year, up from a handful a few years ago.

Gallagher frequently posts photographs and memes on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as a way to connect with hundreds of thousands of followers, with her signature catchphrase "yeet the teets." Satisfied customers will often flood her feed with photos tagged with #NipRevealFriday, in which they share photographs of their newly unbandaged chests bearing fresh mastectomy scars. She says most of her patients, both teenage and adult, found her via TikTok.
