Medical insurance claims in the United States are built around the federal government’s standardized system of diagnostic codes, designed to classify every conceivable injury and condition. Yet among its more than 70,000 designations, there is no dedicated classification for a growing class of patients: regretful recipients of transgender "health care." Patients requiring hormone replacement following gonad removal ... may face barriers to coverage without clearer diagnostic pathways.The omission is all the more glaring when you consider some of the system’s more unusual distinctions.Duck and cover"There's a code for a spacecraft collision injuring the occupant, getting ... struck by a duck" as well as "walking into a lamppost," said Dr. Kurt Miceli in a recent interview with Align. “But nothing for those who are trying to revert a gender transition.”“So effectively, if you are someone who has been harmed by the medical system and you are trying to get medical care, there’s really no diagnosis,” he continued.Miceli’s work centers on helping children through Stop the Harm, an organization that tracks gender-related medical interventions among minors. According to its database, more than 5,700 surgical procedures were performed on minors in the United States between 2019 and 2023.California accounted for an estimated 1,359 of those cases, while Massachusetts reported approximately 300.Miceli said he wants to “give a voice” to detransitioners by creating at least “some visibility” within the existing system of more than 70,000 codes. Such recognition, he argued, would signal that “this is a condition that we must direct resources to, we must appropriately treat, [and] we must build guidelines to help support.”RELATED: 'Truly a fool's errand': Top CDC adviser, RFK Jr. ally resigns from vaccine panel Mark Kerrison/In Pictures/Getty Images Cease and desistanceBeyond recognition, Miceli said the absence of a dedicated classification complicates care. Without it, patients may face challenges navigating billing systems, obtaining reimbursement, or receiving coordinated follow-up treatment.He added that there is room for multiple distinctions — separating medical complications, social transition, and surgical outcomes, for example.One step in that direction may come as soon as October 2026, when an update to the ICD-10-CM is expected to include a new designation: “Gender Identity Disorder, in Remission.”The term, petitioned by Miceli, is defined as the resolution of “clinical symptoms associated with gender dysphoria, where the cognitive experience of incongruence between experienced/expressed gender and natal sex has remitted, leading to alignment of experienced/expressed gender and natal sex.”Miceli said he hopes future updates will go further, including classifications that explicitly recognize “desistance.”RELATED: 'Looksmaxxing' and the war on male self-improvement Tyler Russell/Connecticut Public/Getty Images In a bindAt the same time, he argued that legislative action may be necessary to ensure patients receive appropriate care and to “correct the harms that have been done to them.”For example, patients requiring hormone replacement following gonad removal — or medical care after practices such as breast binding or genital tucking — may face barriers to coverage without clearer diagnostic pathways.More comprehensive coding, he added, would also improve research and communication across the medical system.“It’ll allow our physicians, our medical community to place that code onto the chart. We can get a better understanding of what’s going on,” Miceli said. “We can look at that code in association with other potential complications and, again, collect much more accurate real-world data.”

An old clip of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Gavin Newsom’s wife, has resurfaced and is going viral.In the video, Newsom shares some parenting tips to help create an inclusive environment for kids.When Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau saw it, they came away with one conclusion: Jennifer Newsom is “even worse” than her radical husband.On this episode of “Stu and Dave Do America,” the duo engage in hilarious banter about the “first partner of California” (a title Newsom herself coined to be gender-inclusive). In the resurfaced clip, Newsom says, “I’ve given our boys dolls — even if they tear the head off ... to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that’s reserved for women, but that it’s also an activity that is a responsibility of men.”“What I’ve done with both my daughters and my sons is if I’m reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the ‘he’ to a ‘she.’ ... I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting,” she added.Newsom then celebrated that we’re in a period of history where we can “deconstruct all these gender roles” and “limiting narratives.”Stu calls her the “prototypical feminist left-wing nut job.”Dave is more savage in his response. “How are you going to do well in school when you’re just making up stuff? Like, what are they going to do, book reports on ‘Jamika and Her Giant Peach’? ‘If You Give a Hoe a Cookie’? ... ‘Christy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’?” he gibes.“I don’t think being gay is a choice, but she makes me feel like being gay is not only a choice, but it’s your parents’ choice,” he laughs.Stu points out the flawed logic in Newsom’s parenting tactics: “You’re not only playing the gender games with your kids there; you’re actually misleading them about the book you’re reading.”“She reminds me of the wife of every super popular jock that met his wife in high school. And you just go, like, "Oh god, you’re just here to serve a purpose,” Dave says.“They want to sound interesting, but you just know she has a sign that says, ‘It’s wine o’clock somewhere’ in her kitchen. She’s just that woman,” he jeers, speculating that Newsom is “on wine or Xanax or both.”To hear more of Stu and Dave’s hysterical commentary, watch the episode above.Want more from Stu and Dave?To enjoy more of Stu and Dave's lethal blend of wit, humor, and insightful commentary subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

After what could have been a devastating school shooting like that at Columbine High School in 1999, one Oklahoma town is praising a hero rather than mourning this week. On Tuesday afternoon at Pauls Valley High School in Oklahoma, an armed suspect entered the school with the intent to kill. 'Principal Moore acted bravely to protect students' lives.'However, the shooting was quickly thwarted when Principal Kirk Moore sprang into action.The suspect entered the school near the principal's office. The suspect reportedly drove his truck with two pistols to the school, entered the building, ordered everyone to get on the ground, and attempted to fire one of the guns.RELATED: Teens definitely pick wrong homeowner to 'ding-dong ditch'; cops say he came out of house with gun, opened fire after prank DAVID PASHAEE/Middle East Images/AFP/Getty ImagesHowever, the gun did not fire at first.Moore was then able to subdue the shooter, doubtlessly saving a number of lives in the process. He was shot in the leg as he restrained the shooter, though the injury is reportedly minor and Moore is expected to make a recovery.“Hug your children extra close tonight. After the events of today, I am so appreciative for the brave actions of our high school Principal Kirk Moore and his staff. He undoubtedly saved lives today through his actions,” Pauls Valley Councilman Kahn Nirschl told News 9."Principal Moore acted bravely to protect students' lives. Sarah and I are praying for his quick recovery. I'm thankful for the swift response from law enforcement and school staff, and I'm grateful no students were harmed," Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R) said in a statement. KOCO News reported that the suspect, identified as former Pauls Valley student Victor Hawkins, told investigators that he planned to kill students, faculty, and then himself. He also allegedly told investigators that he had "every intention of re-enacting what happened at Columbine." Classes at the high school were canceled on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

President Donald Trump absolutely eviscerated former President Joe Biden and "radical Democrats" in the wake of Homeland Security's announcement that a male accused of killing a woman in a brutal hammer attack last week in Florida is an illegal alien the Biden administration protected from deportation.Trump went off in a Thursday night Truth Social post saying the suspect — Haitian national Rolbert Joachin — was "released into our Country by the WORST President in History, Crooked Joe Biden, and the Radical Democrats in Congress." 'As I’ve said all along, if you import the Third World, you become the Third World, and that is what happened over the four years of Democrat Control.'The president added that "the video of her brutal slaying is one of the most vicious things you will ever see. This animal was allowed to stay here because the Biden Administration granted him, and all Haitians, 'Temporary [Protected] Status,' a massively abused and fraudulent program which my Administration is working to terminate, but Deranged Liberal District Court Judges are standing in our way. This one killing should be enough for these Radical Judges to STOP impeding my Administration’s Immigration Policies, and allow us to END THIS SCAM ONCE AND FOR ALL."As Blaze News previously reported, a 40-year-old male is accused of hitting a woman in the head with a hammer and killing her in a horrific attack recorded on surveillance video outside a Fort Myers gas station convenience store.DHS said suspect Joachin "first entered the United States in August 2022 and was released into the country under the Biden administration. A federal judge issued a final order of removal against him in 2022, but the Biden administration granted him Temporary Protected Status, which expired in 2024."“This illegal alien barbarically hit this woman in the head multiple times with a hammer. This heinous murderer was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Not only did the Biden administration release him into the country, but they then gave him Temporary Protected Status," said Lauren Bis, acting assistant secretary at the DHS Office of Public Affairs. "Their reckless immigration policies cost this woman her life."RELATED: Thug accused of killing woman in Florida hammer attack is Haitian illegal alien protected from deportation under Biden: DHS Trump added: "To my fellow Republicans, and frankly all Common Sense Americans, NEVER FORGET that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party turned the United States of America into a dumping ground, allowing Tens of MILLIONS of Criminals, Lunatics, and the Mentally Insane from all over the World to pour into our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked through our wide Open Borders. As I’ve said all along, if you import the Third World, you become the Third World, and that is what happened over the four years of Democrat Control. We are rapidly trying to reverse this decline through Deportations, but if the Democrats are ever given another chance at power, they will immediately REOPEN the Border, and allow America to once again be a Safe Haven for Criminals."The president also asked for "prayer for this innocent woman’s family. We will ensure quick and severe JUSTICE is served in this case!"DHS said Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer against Joachin and that he will be deported regardless of the outcome of his case.Joachin on Friday remained behind bars at the Lee County Jail on charges of homicide (murder dangerous depraved without premeditation) and criminal mischief. There is no bond listed for him in jail records.Numerous outlets have posted censored video of the fatal hammer attack, but Trump attached video of the uncensored attack to his Truth Social post."I don’t recommend you watch this tape, because it is so terrible, but felt I had an obligation to put it up so that people can see what Democrats are protecting, and wanting to come into our Country, even now, after all we’ve been through," Trump wrote.
