Maher calls out ‘woke excess’ of U.S. medical establishment: ‘Afraid’ to back down on gender care for kids

HBO host Bill Maher accused the U.S. medical establishment of being 'afraid' to admit that it has gone too far in allowing minors to undergo gender-altering treatment. Maher made the statement during the latest episode of 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' noting that American physicians’ acceptance of gender-affirming care has put the medical establishment here 'behind' those in the U.K.

The host brought up a recent landmark U.K. medical study led by Dr. Hillary Cass, a prominent British pediatrician. After conducting an independent review on gender-affirming care services for children and teens in 2020, the study published its results in March, which indicated there is 'no good evidence' for the medical push to transition children's gender, noting the effort had been 'built on shaky foundations.

Additionally, Scandinavian countries Sweden, Finland, and Denmark have heavily restricted gender-related medical procedures among children. Maher cited these countries as examples demonstrating that the U.S. is now 'way behind' the consensus thanks to its 'woke excess.' 'In the U.K., they are now pronouncing the United States as way behind. It’s just so, to me, symbolic of so much woke excess – by thinking you’re so progressive you’re actually behind,' he said.
