Tune in! #InTheDugout with Mike Stenhouse welcomes Dr. Jared L. Ross, Emergency Medicine and EMS Physician and Senior Fellow at Do No Harm, for a critical discussion. We are talking about Do No Harm’s efforts to support Tennessee’s Senate Bill 1, which bans biology-denying medical interventions on minors. From puberty blockers to cross-sex hormones and surgeries, the controversial procedures face legal and scientific scrutiny as the U.S. Supreme Court hears United States v. Skrmetti. Dr. Ross breaks down the arguments for the ban, the science underlying so-called “gender-affirming care,” and the weight of evidence challenging these medical interventions.
Sten and Dr. Ross discuss Do No Harm’s amicus brief, which exposes the weak scientific foundation behind “gender-affirming” treatments for minors and the health risks they pose. He highlights critical findings, including systematic reviews that failed to show reliable evidence supporting these interventions as effective or safe. Their conversation touches on medical ethics, evidence-based medicine, and why 56 physicians have backed the bill as a necessary step to protect vulnerable young patients. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for the safety of children.
Don’t miss this episode because it is one of the most important legal and cultural battles of our time. Tune in to hear the science, the ethics, and the stakes surrounding Tennessee’s law and Do No Harm’s fight to protect children.
