This post first appeared on Jennifer Bilek’s website, The 11th Hour Blog , on January 15, 2023. It has been edited for brevity and clarity. It is the 3rd and final installment in a series on the largest LGBTQ+ NGO, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). It delineates HRC’s funding partners in an ongoing campaign to entice healthcare institutions to support the LGBTQ+ cause. Parts I and part II can be found here and here.

Human Rights Campaign and the Health Equality Index

HRC’s Health Equality Index (HEI) was initiated in 2007 pushing the lie of the “transgender” human. Aside from the toll on patients, perhaps the most disturbing aspects of this campaign are the endorsing and funding partners – the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA), Pfizer, Inc, and PhRMA. As leading participants in the Corporate Equality Index, they reap the benefits of lobbying Congress via the Business Coalition, broadening the scope of their wrath.

My daughter’s college health center was her first go-to source for testosterone, a drug once known for athlete doping and roid rage. In the 21st century, testosterone was being resurrected for young women and girls to manufacture the modern “transman,” and my daughter had become a victim. The college provided connections to a clinic for the full smorgasbord of gender identity services. My daughter’s breasts were surgically removed, mimicking her campus peers in the year that followed that first injection. Many colleges participate in HRC’s campaign to harm students and encourage family separation when concerns arise.

Gay and Lesbian Medical Association

GLMA has been an endorsing partner of the HEI since its inception in 2007. GLMA was founded in 1981 and is the largest and oldest association of LGBTQ professionals. Like other groups formed in the ’80s, their focus was HIV/AIDS. “T” and “Q” joined the tagline in 2012 and synthetic sex identities began consuming more attention.

GLMA’s conferences are loaded with sponsors from the medical industry. Among the GLMA board of directors is Paula M. Neira, a male with a synthetic female identity who was the first clinical director of Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender Health and a leading expert on “transgender” military service. Another is Jona Tanguay whose research has focused on harm reduction for participants of chemsex, a practice involving male sexualized drug use. While GLMA professes to be a healthcare organization, information concerning the alarming rates of “transgender” identifying youth, the skyrocketing cohort of females now comprising this population, or the lifetime risk of drugs and surgeries is absent. Instead, female testosterone use has broadened markets for products to assuage drug-induced libidos.

The Pharmaceutical Industry Supporters

By 2011, the HEI was funded by grants from Pfizer, Inc and later by the Pharmaceutical Research and Medical Association (PhRMA), a 33-member trade group and lobbying arm for drug companies. This explains the prevailing affirmation-only agenda and the intersection of corporate and pharmaceutical interests in the CEI.

Pfizer is a supplier of testosterone prescribed to females claiming synthetic male identities and estradiol, progesterone, and spironolactone prescribed to males claiming synthetic female identities. From Reuters to the Vatican, Pfizer has a way of getting around despite a conviction in the largest healthcare fraud settlement in history in 2009. Drugs prescribed for synthetic cross-sex identities are not FDA-approved for such rendering illegal their promotion for this purpose. While the FDA Guidance for the promotion of drugs is skewed to favor drug sales, it is impossible not to make a correlation between Pfizer’s involvement with HRC and the promotion of drugs for the “transgender” medical complex.

There is no shortage of testosterone bottles, injections, or patches that make cameos in "female-to-male" social media. In 2017 HRC and Planned Parenthood teamed up in a YouTube lifestyle campaign promoting testosterone for females. A 22-year-old “transgender”/ “nonbinary” female tells the audience, “I am certainly not stabbing myself with a needle once a week just for some extra likes on Facebook.” Parents, on the other hand, report that social media is often a leading factor in a child’s synthetic sex identification. As the young woman injects herself, the testosterone vial is conveniently turned away from the viewer. It would be a blatant breach of the law to expose the brand for this non-FDA-approved use.

In another questionable promotion of testosterone use, a nurse from the University of Iowa LGBTQ Clinic injects a bearded female with testosterone. While the bottle remains small in scale, could the blue oval be the Pfizer symbol? The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics also earned a top score in the 2022 HEI.

Today countless misleading studies claim “affirmation” benefits. But can this be true when sponsors and funders hail from organizations and pharmaceutical corporations all pushing a synthetic sex agenda? In a study touting better mental health outcomes, Arbor and Pfizer were industry sponsors of a research award to the lead researcher. Under the funding notes the study reads, “The sponsors of this research did not play any role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.” Does anyone really think drug companies would sponsor a study with a conclusion that cross sex hormones harm?

Once unthinkable cultural oddities now saturate the American way of life. It is no wonder Pfizer even goes to bat for them. Cheerleading for the Transgender Day of Remembrance is great for business.

Along with Pfizer, PhRMA also provided grants to the HEI. Messaging abounds in media today, like this ad by PhRMA member Lilly in which the scarred chest of a female flashes across the screen as the narrator professes, “the body you were randomly assigned at birth.”

The Health Equality Index Leaders

Of the 906 participants in the 2022 HEI, over half received the esteemed “leader” designation. The Department of Veterans Affairs topped the list of participating facilities, with Kaiser Permanente and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) coming in a distant second and third. Faith-based hospitals are hardly exempt from the coercion and lure of money, with 65 HEI participants. While more participants hailed from the coasts, dollar signs have been too hard to pass up, and facilities are now strung out across the US.

“Leaders” can be found among university student health centers such as UCLA. As any parent who has had a child disappear into a “transgender” identity on a college campus knows, higher ed has become a dangerous place drawing young prey into a medical nightmare. With over 19 million college students, this population has been the perfect testing ground to reset age restrictions on “gender” services and indoctrinate a generation into the lie of “transgender” medicine. The students populating medical programs today are now under industry capture with university credits earned toward proliferating the lie. In a bizarre twist of what it means to care for fellow humans, students are being educated to harm future generations.

Over 100 academic medical centers and 30 children’s hospitals participated in the 2022 HEI, with all but a few receiving a top scores. Boston Children’s Hospital and Vanderbilt are among the “leaders.” Vanderbilt is even among over thirty healthcare facilities to have participated since the HEIs inception in 2007. Did they always intend to add children to their “transgender” services? They were covering cross-sex hormones and surgeries on the student health plan by 2016. Why would they stop there?

HRC has a couple of reports that help answer that question. One is “Supporting and Caring for Transgender Children,” a 2016 document written in conjunction with the American Pediatric Association (APA) and the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP). It is written by controversial doctors like Diane Ehrensaft and Ximena Lopez, and uses celebrities like reality star Jazz Jennings, a young man with a synthetic female identity. It lays out a “gender affirmation” approach including drugs and even double mastectomies for older adolescents that make the average citizen wince.

Another HRC report from 2020, “LGBTQ Inclusion in Children’s Hospitals,” was written that dispels the lessons from the HEI. The forward is written by the CEO of Boston Children’s Hospital, Sandra Fenwick, who says, “I am so proud of Boston Children’s role as an HEI LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader.” The report claims the HEI is the nation’s leading benchmark tool in affirmation. Is the real problem that “affirmation” exists at all? The report is ultimately the product of a 2019 focus group session of eleven children’s hospitals, all with gender clinics, which aimed to assess the unique challenges of "gender services" for children.

Conscientious objections, visitation policies, hostile parents, sex trafficking, and negative hospital publicity are all mentioned as unique challenges. How many other medical services for children have sex trafficking concerns? What about the obvious - the mental and physical harm these drugs, surgeries, and practices are having on children? The hospitals, though, show no concern for these things and actively work against non-affirming parents. Allowing young patients to refuse visitation from a critical caregiver, providing safe spaces, separating parents, sticker campaigns to normalize the industry, and the like are offered as “remedies” – or rather ways to stifle dissent and sell services.

For clinics wishing to expand “gender” services, a guide is available that reads like a how-to on proliferating business practices. The foreword is by the CEO of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Madeline Bell. The report concludes with a long list of controversial resources for families and caregivers, including the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), the American Pediatric Association (APA), the Trevor Project, and many others.

Healthcare “leaders” are bestowed with what HRC deems “the coveted designation of ‘LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leader.’” For being “leaders,” participants get to advertise with a special logo and receive a toolkit of resources to reach out to potential LGBTQ+ clients in their area. Cloaked under the label of a “healthcare leader,” it is with these tools an industry has blossomed to harm the bodies of youth.

Concluding Thoughts

In earlier years, HRC received accusations of being too focused on gay white male issues. Today an obsessive focus on corporately constructed synthetic sex identities reigns. As the AIDS crisis has morphed over the years, the pharmaceutical giants have settled on what makes the most money – novel drugs. Robust competition in the HIV drug space and vaccine research are focuses. They have also settled on new horizons to create a new kind of person, the “transgender” human of the 21st century. It is a scandal of epic proportions.

The expensive, repurposed drug azidothymidine (AZT) once ravished the lives of countless homosexual men. Desperate for a cure, patients at first bowed to pharma industry's deceit, but the drug was toxic and patients died. Today a devastating turn of events is underway in which the LGBTQ lobby is feeding members directly into the arms of the growing synthetic sex industry. The industry is content to use these humans as specimens for their grand experiment. This time the biggest organization professing to rally for the LGBTQ cause is bigger and more powerful after years of building the AIDS narrative. There is nothing to be cured but an industry raging out of control.

Decline in health among AZT users was swift. With puberty blockers, a lifetime of cross-sex hormones, and supporting surgeries and medications, the harms might not be as swift, but no doubt they will be great. Those exiting industry capture will have broken minds and bodies needing genuine care. The healthcare industry is in such a rapid downward spiral it is difficult to imagine a system to support the carnage that is sure to ensue.

Allowing young people to grow up in their natal bodies and removing the farce of synthetic sex identities would negate concerns and terminate the fast-growing parental and public outcry. It would also kill an industry whereby children are trafficked into a field built on a lie. Instead, the NIH has renewed the sham “transgender” study that involved Garofalo at Lurie Children’s, UCSF, and other hospitals (mentioned in part II) for an additional five years. The four lead hospitals have also formed the Trans Youth Care Research Network.

Remember the 2002 Corporative Equality Index from part I? There were only a handful of top scorers among a few hundred participants. With loads of financial backing, HRC’s mass manipulation campaign to create a culture of acceptance has excelled beyond all imagination. Today more corporations and institutions then ever support their cause. “Gender identity" cannot be captured in a bottle or studied under a microscope. It must be believed. HRC has been the ringleader and psychological manipulator to make believers of us all. Medicine and gender ideology thrive on one another, with the gender-confused and allied believers now servants to their big medicine masters.

In 2019, I sat in the audience while a brave mother, a detransitioner, and doctors recounted the devastation underway to younger and younger patients, all for the lie of synthetic sex identities. The acceptance of a lifestyle dependent upon drugs, surgeries, and impossible beliefs was not long ago foreign to most Americans. As the very intentional “transgender” tipping point backed by the pharmaceutical industry and loads of funding and NGOs rages on, so does the “peak trans” tipping point. This is the point at which the reasonable among humanity realize that coexisting is impossible. HRC’s mission is to stamp out any sense of normalcy or human decency, making life miserable for those who question its tenets. The veil is not yet lifted on all the machinations at work, but the train left the station before 2002 and picked up steam in 2007. The HRC engine is now taking society to very dark places with trainloads of human specimens.
