NEWS: Top Youth Gender Doctor Johanna Olson-Kennedy’s New, Replacement Youth Gender Clinic Has Also Shuttered
Dr. Olson-Kennedy ran the youth gender clinic at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles until it was shuttered in July 2025 in the face of threats from the Trump administration of cutting off the entire hospital’s Medicaid funding.
A year ago, Dr. Olson-Kennedy started working at Prosilio Gender Care, based in Pasadena, where she continued to provide gender-transition interventions to minors.
But now, despite the clinic’s efforts to secure state funding, the @FDRLST reports that it has shut its doors.
Dr. Olson-Kennedy was sued in Dec. 2024 by a detransitioner to whom she prescribed puberty blockers on the first visit when she was 12 and testosterone when she was 13. She signed off on the girl’s mastectomy when she was 14 and later pushed her to have a hysterectomy, which the girl declined.

There’s been a spate of closures recently. NYU Langone and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centera few days ago, and Mt. Sinai earlier this month.
Republicans are making trans issues a big part of their midterm strategy. These closures are likely intended to help them campaign. Seems like a hard sell vs high gas prices because of a pointless war though. For better or worse, that’s what people seem to care about most.
