UC San Fran Chancellor Refuses to Say If Men Can Have Babies

Chancellor Hawgood's comment that "the vast majorities of pregnancies are in women" prompted Rep. Miller's question.

In a House hearing on DEI in medical schools, Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) and others pressed University of California chancellors on transgender ideology and other such DEI themes.

One of these, UC San Francisco (UCSF) Chancellor Sam Hawgood avoided direct answers to many of Rep. Miller's questions, including when he was asked "Has a non-biological woman ever had a baby?" To that question he responded, "A transgender person can." When asked again, Hawgood responded "I would reiterate, we take care of transgender patients."

Hawgood's comment that "the vast majorities of pregnancies are in women" prompted Rep. Miller's question.

UCSF certainly does tend to transgender patients; its website advertises many different transgender surgeries performed by the medical staff at the college as part of its "Gender affirming Health Program." According to its website, the program "adheres to the guidelines for surgical assessment as described in the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of care." WPATH is currently being sued by the State of Florida for unfair trade practices and racketeering, according to reporting by CNSNews.

UCSF received a total of more than $800 million from the National Institutes of health last year, according to a UCSF article. It is unclear to what extent this went to supporting the surgeries.

Miller also asked Hawgood about the university's policy to use the gender a child self-identifies as, even when it conflicts with the child's parents' wishes:

"Say a seven-year-old boy comes into your doctor's office and reveals he believes he's a girl. Is UCSF advising physicians to explicitly violate parents' moral values and have the doctors address this boy as a girl?"

In answering, Hawgood avoids a direct answer, stating instead that "the programs are consistent with federal and state law" and that "we undertake comprehensive psychological mental health evaluations and work with the parents on these issues."

In one instance, Chancellor Hawgood does give a direct answer, this time to a question leveled by Representative Robert Onder (R-MO) after an exchange about UCFS' transgender medical program. Hawgood denied that UCSF provides transgender surgery to children, though when Onder asked, "your transgender clinic does continue to give puberty blockers and wrong sex hormones to children?" Hawgood responded simply with "correct." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
