Today, we sit down with Vanessa Sivadge, a whistleblower formerly employed at Texas Children's Hospital. Vanessa recently exposed the hospital for using Medicaid to fund cross-sex "treatments" for minors and faced backlash from the American justice system. What motivated Vanessa to speak out? What exactly did she see going on? And how did the FBI get involved? We address all that and more in this must-see episode.
