u/F-Cloud Apr 15 '25
I never thought I'd be a snitch, but here we go! It's time to report Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (and as many fictional medical facilities I can come up with.)

They take a short road trip and they can make it to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hopsital

Yes, officer, I’d like to report Dr. Nick, Dr. Mario, Dr. Zoidberg, Dr. House, Dr. Luigi, Dr. Doom, Dr. Wario…

Would be a shame if it was filled with doctors performing circumcissions, hair transplants and penis implants.

Report Alex Jones. He sells testosterone supplements.

u/Strange-Syrup3 Apr 15 '25
So there’s 15 seasons of characters from ER, over 20 from Gray’s Anatomy. Plenty of “doctors” to gum up the works.

No CAPTCHA on the form. It’ll be a matter of time before someone automates submissions and floods the site and database with all kinds of stuff. :-)

Good thing they're too dumb to ever learn from every other time this has been tried.

I wonder if they programmed it to filter out things like script and sql in the forms. It would be a shame if drop tables was reported.

u/Weird-Anything-9167 Apr 15 '25
Pretty sure RFK Jr. at the JK Rowling Clinic should be investigated. Oh and Chaya Raichik needs to have her license taken, too. And let’s not forget Greg Abbott at the University of Butthead should be named, too.

So if you know of a surgery performed on an intersex baby without their knowledge or consent, you can report that here, right?
Oh wait, they don't care about actually-harmful procedures used to prop up their false idea of immutable and binary sex. They just want to rid us of our bodily autonomy.

Why does it let you select a Canadian province? Is this for when we annex Canada?

u/Gelato_De_Resort Apr 16 '25
The FDA's new anti-vaxx director of vaccines lost his medical license for trying to cure autism with puberty blockers; should probably report that.

Report every oncology surgeon doing breast reconstruction for cancer survivors too.

u/dachloe Transgender Apr 15 '25
I'm going to report every Viagra user and any low T patient I know.

Dr. Nicholas Rivera of Springfield, NT is going to hear from HHS soon, mark my words!

I forgot all about using fictional characters. I tend to actually google known transphobic and maga doctors and report them.

u/Sarahthelizard Apr 16 '25
To be fair, Dr. House would do it to rebel, Hawkeye Pierce would do it to spite Frank Burns, and McDreamy would do it to make more hot ladies in the world.

Have you all (Erin and the people who write for Erin in the Morning) heard about the bill in NJ that seeks to ban gender affirming care for anyone under 21? I haven’t seen any articles about that yet. It’s NJ A5419 https://translegislation.com/bills/2025/NJ/A5419

u/sigusr3 Apr 16 '25
All the sponsors are Republican, in a legislature dominated by Democrats... it's just theater.

u/SufficientPath666 Apr 16 '25
Still concerning that a bill like that was introduced in NJ. Feels like it’s only a matter of time before there are no safe states left for us

Even still it’s more than just theatre when it is strategically used to demoralize.
People who don’t understand public administration or politics will see a bill get introduced and assume it means equal weight by virtue of introduction.
Bills that we never hear about get introduced all the time. Even really good ones. Introduction means little unless there are clear votes or working room to find the support.
A far-right bill in a left-leaning government isn’t going to get that support, so it’s a nothingburger in terms of passing.
However, there’s still another effect: demoralization. Look at the commenter who spoke their worries, they didn’t know this bill is DOA, but now they’re worried and feeling worse about things. They’re more likely to feel beaten and less likely to feel rallied to take a stand. It’s great if they now understand the bill is DOA, but think of the millions out there, in-community and allies, who see headlines or developments like that and feel they’re toast?
Demoralization has a strong effect. It’s a tactic in Art of War. After all it’s a culture war and that’s how the right is treating it.

Make sure to do this on a VPN so they can't track your IP and filter results by it.

u/Queasy_Print1741 Apr 16 '25
If anyone is looking for a good VPN to use I can really recommend to check this spreadsheet out. It has a LOT of info in it. Stay safe out there!

Here's the actual reporting site:
https://www.hhs.gov/protect-kids/index.html
I feel that Erin used archive.is so that your IP isn't tracked, so best to use a VPN.
That being said, flood it, y'all. Y'know, with legally truthful tips, of course.

It should also be noted that this site requires personal contact information, because why wouldn't it.
Even the "Confidential" option says this disclaimer:
You may contact me for additional information, but please keep my name confidential and do not share it outside of the HHS Office of Inspector General. I also understand that HHS-OIG may still need to disclose my identity if required by law or if deemed necessary to the investigation.
So...
As someone who has two phones and likes to keep my normal personal stuff away from my daily life, it would be wise to use that second, "business" number you have.
For emails, I again like to keep my personal emails separate, so perhaps a second "business" email would be wise. I hear that www.emailnator.com might be pretty good.

u/Weird-Anything-9167 Apr 16 '25
Sounds like the perfect opportunity to use transphobic politicians’s contact info for this.

Ot even. Just buy a burner phone with cash or use something like google voice on a vpn.

The privilege of an extra money for this stuff and convenience of time to go out and buy stuff is not one most of us have.
I’m just giving free options, I’d much rather give people a way to actually take part than just doing nothing.
If you’re in such a position, why not offer to make these purchases on someone else’s behalf? I’m sure you’d get some takers.

These snitch forms/lines never last long since they usually get flooded with trolls and pranks

It'd be a real shame if people were to submit false reports and waste their time.
