Dr. Peters and His Marvelous Vagina-Making Machine

An extraordinary video direct from the OHSU Transgender Chop-Shop

Dr. Blair Peters, a professor of urology and plastic surgery, is a star member of the staff of the Oregon Health Science University’s Gender Clinic. Here he is in his surgical suite where genitalia are robotically snipped, shaped, and sculpted…

…in pursuit of gender affirmation.

You may recall that we previously noted the work of the busy surgeon here in…

OHSU's Castration Machine

…by the Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo, which took a dim view of Dr. Peters’s work; we also noted Dr. Peters’s ground-breaking research here in…

Their Slip Is Showing

…in which we discussed Dr. Peters’s discovery of…

…10,000 nerve fibers in the marble-sized human clitoris, the organ responsible for sexual pleasure in female bodies…

…which he obtained from…

…clitoral nerve tissue from seven adult transmasculine volunteers who underwent gender-affirming genital surgery.

Last year, we also wrote about the Clinic (including their offshoot at the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital) here and here.

We hate to say it—but that would make this itty-bitty ‘stack the only real source of information about the clinic in town. We’ll decline the honor since it’s a symptom of a strange journalistic reluctance to deal with controversy, which is the mother’s milk of journalism—or used to be.

If you depended on local media to provide a perspective on one of the hottest sexual-medical topics today…well, all you would find is this rewritten press release in the Tribune…

…which revealed at OHSU would get $7-million from an outfit called the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, to…

…evaluate the role of peer support for transgender and non-binary individuals seeking the gender-affirming surgery vaginoplasty…

We doubt any de-transitioners will be among the “peers” sitting at the bedside of patients awaiting their plasty-thingy and Dr. Peters’s robotic knife. And does anyone remember the county’s disastrous experiment with “peers” at its lavish Behavioral Health Center a couple of months ago?

So what, exactly, are Dr. Peters and his colleagues in the “top” and “bottom” surgery business—hysterectomy, oophorectomy, orchiectomy, phalloplasty, vaginectomy, vaginoplasty, vulvoplasty, gender-affirming mastectomy, breast augmentation, laryngochrondoplasty, scrotectomy, penectomy—up to on Marquam Hill?

Dig around on YouTube and X (nee Twitter), and you’ll find a remarkable 37-minute interview with Dr. Peters himself, bright carmine hair and all. The interview is conducted by an unidentified questioner perched in front of an LGBTQIA2S+ banner, and was posted early in July.

If you’re interested in the nuts-n-bolts of the craft of turning men into women—and vice-versa—and the various permutations of what robots can do to human anatomy, give it a watch. You may notice, along the way, that Dr. Peters is a bit uncertain about how all of this “plasty” will turn out in five to ten years—but full speed ahead anyway. And pay special attention to the discussion of adolescent skin. And “dilation.”

Brace yourself…

It’s essentially gender clinic shop-talk, and at least one iteration has gone “private” on YouTube—but then, nothing ever really disappears on the web. So it has been chopped and edited and repurposed by various interested parties on the warring sides of the gender jihad.

This is just one tiny skirmish in the gender wars; but to paraphrase the cliche, it’s where the scalpel meets the skin that really counts. And the battle grows apace…

• In Oregon, the progressive machine is all-in on gender transitions and even would like to amend the state constitution to embed “gender affirmation,” hopefully forever.

• Oregon kids over 14 may decide to undergo gender surgery without parental consent.

• While 20 US states—those dreaded “red” ones—are making some of the routine interventions by the OHSU Clinic illegal for minors.

• European nations—Finland, Denmark, Norway, France—have put the brakes on so-called “puberty blockers” and other forms of gender reassignment in minors.

• The U.K. closed its only gender transformation clinic earlier this year; it had performed gender surgeries.

• An international group of clinicians and researchers published a statement saying, ”More and more European countries and international professional organizations now recommend psychotherapy rather than hormones and surgeries as the first line of treatment for gender-dysphoric youth.”

You won’t read any of this on OHSU’s Gender Clinic website. In fact, one of their staff’s videos dealing with transgender care has been mysteriously memory-holed…

Why?

No one in local media seems interested in asking. About this or anything else at the Gender Clinic.

We will.

If OHSU’s 24/7 press department runs true to form, our query won’t even be acknowledged.
