""A STAR physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatment while tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention, while at the same time working with men and women on all other forms of cancer diagnoses and treatments," Trump described Saphier in his announcement on Truth Social."
"In a February episode of her podcast, Wellness Unmasked, Saphier hosted the 'detransitioner' Claire Abernathy. The episode promoted the idea that 'detransition' is a common experience, while studies find that it is not as prevalent as suggested."
Donald Trump nominated Nicole Saphier for surgeon general, replacing Casey Means. Saphier, a physician and wellness influencer, has expressed anti-trans views, equating trans identities with mental illness. Her statements on puberty blockers contradict medical consensus. Although the surgeon general does not make policy, their reports can influence decisions on gender-affirming care. Trump praised Saphier's experience in cancer treatment. Saphier's podcast episode featuring a 'detransitioner' suggests that detransitioning is common, despite studies indicating otherwise.
