In August 2024, Russian news resources and Telegram channels began to publish information that Disney was paying for puberty blockers for the children of their employees, that is, in fact, they were sterilized. We checked whether this is true.
August 14 Channel "Newsach / Dv"Wrote:" Disney Corporation offers to sterilize children to its employees. American journalist James O'Kif received an internal document of the company, which confirms that the company finances publisher blockers for minors. Any employee of the company can take his child to a doctor who will conduct an examination and give a prescription for the drug. All this is absolutely free. ” The post scored more than 290,000 views at the time of writing this analysis. Following Newsach / Dvich wrote about this "Ax 18+"(2.5 million views),"Mousetrap"(145,000),"Heaven is"(143,000) and others. In total, according to the TGSTAT service, the text published more than 400 channels. The material also got into the news of the television channel "Ren-TV"And news feed"Rambler".
James O’Kif, who is referred to by Telegram channels, is actually not a journalist, but an American political activist, founder of the ultra-right group Project Veritas (previously "verified" Published The analysis of one of the videos shot and widespread by this group). After in 2023 it Excluded From Project Veritas, the activist founded a new project, which was called O'Keefe Media Group. Material about Disney O’Kif Published In its personal account on the social network X - @Jamesokeefeiii.
In the video, James O’Kif claims: Disney insider shared with him an internal document of the company, which says that Disney medical insurance covers the expenses of employees to transgender transition procedures for their minor children.
Using the search for keywords, the “tested” found the same documentJames O'Kif talks about. He was not internal, but public. The document is posted on the portal Disney BenefitsWhere the current (and potential) employees of the company can familiarize themselves with all the programs, benefits and privileges available to them. According to the information contained there, the LGBTQIA+ support program includes medical support for the transgender transition for both Disney employees and their families, including minors.
Among the listed services that are paid by insurance, there are consultations and the provision of directions to specialists, and puberty blockers. However, this does not mean that it is enough to bring the child to the examination in order to get a recipe for hormonal therapy. Doctors in any case will be guided by the law, medical ethics and standard procedures. To get an idea about them, you can go to the website of Cigna Healthcare, which, in fact, provides Disney Medical Insurance services, and Relate With the tips published there, people with gender dysphoria (the so -called condition in which a person cannot accept the mismatch of his biological sex and gender identity) and members of their families.
In this document it is especially stipulated that during puberty, children can at different times in different times to feel their gender identity in different ways. Therefore, in working with adolescents, the primary task of doctors is to introduce them to all possible options for non -medical methods of confirming the gender: for example, to wear the appropriate clothes, use a different name and pronouns, etc. adolescents can also be offered to visit psychological support groups. Only after non -medical methods are exhausted, can we go about puberty blockers. But in this case, only reversible hormone therapy is referred to, which does not stop puberty, but only pauses it during the intake of the drugs. This contradicts O'Kif’s statement that “Disney finances puberty blockers that sterilize children, forever changing their lives.” And in the case of children who have not yet reached puberty, hormonal therapy is completely excluded, even reversible.
In addition, it should be noted that this insurance program has been operating in Disney for several years, and this is not the first attempt to blame the company of that it Pays the sterilization of children.
Thus, although medical insurance for Disney employees really covers the procedures for confirming the Gender, this does not mean at all that their children get free access to irreversible puberty blockers.
