Wyoming radiologist Dr. Eric Cubin is making headlines after he was removed from the state Board of Medicine for opposing “gender-affirming care” for minors.
This move has sparked controversy and increased discussions around the escalating influence of transgender activists in the medical field.
In a recent interview, Dr. Cubin condemned what he described as an insidious takeover of medical institutions by activism masquerading as science.
His remarks were directed at the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which he accused of lobbying professional medical organizations to endorse harmful practices.
Dr. Cubin, who supported Senate File 99, popularly known as "Chloe’s Law," noted that the legislation is a crucial step in protecting minors from experimental interventions.
This law, named after a young woman who underwent surgery to transition but ultimately regretted the decision, prohibits medical interventions such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors.
Despite being appointed to his position by Wyoming's Republican Governor Mark Gordon, Dr. Cubin faced retribution for speaking out against the Wyoming Medical Society, which opposed the law.
Cubin reached out to state legislators to clarify that not all doctors in Wyoming shared the society’s views, urging them to consider the welfare of minors before endorsing the society's stance.
In an ironic twist, the Governor removed him from the board, citing a lack of neutrality connected to his advocacy for protecting children from harmful medical procedures.
The radiologist has since filed a lawsuit to regain his position, highlighting discrepancies in how similar cases have been handled in the past.
As discussions continue, Dr. Cubin's situation raises pressing questions about freedom of speech and the potential ramifications of political correctness in the medical domain.
Many conservatives view his fight as a stand against a growing tide of political ideology overtaking objective medical practice, emphasizing that thoughtful dialogue is necessary for the health and safety of future generations.
October 21, 2024, marks a notable point in this ongoing battle as court proceedings are set to explore the implications of Dr. Cubin's dismissal from the board.
