Exclusive: Doctor Criticizes Lack of Diversity in Sex Change Industry
Clear Facts
- Dr. Wallace Wong claimed the transgender medical industry is suffering from the influence of white people during a WPATH training course.
- Wong works with children as young as two years old who identify as transgender and is the co-lead for WPATH’s Global Education Institute Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement committee.
- Wong argued that one of the reasons minorities resist transgender medical treatments is due to a lack of role models in their communities and resources primarily for white people.
Psychologist Dr. Wallace Wong, during a medical training course for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) in September 2022, claimed that the transgender medical industry is suffering from the influence of white people. The video of the presentation was obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
WPATH, an international organization founded in 1979, seeks to train medical and mental health professionals on how to treat transgender patients, including minors. During WPATH’s 27th annual training symposium, Wong gave a presentation on how medical professionals should handle minority clients and their families, saying transgender minorities “don’t trust the white culture.”
Wong works in the United States and Canada with children as young as two years old who identify as transgender. He is the co-lead for WPATH’s Global Education Institute Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement committee. In his own practice, Wong noted that at least 98% of his clients are white, despite living in a heavily immigrant area.
He told the audience that there are not enough resources for transgender minorities because available information is written with white people in mind. One of Wong’s slides stated that “professionals lack understanding and knowledge about ethnic values and the consequent interaction with racist society.”
Wong argued that one of the reasons minorities resist transgender medical treatments is because there are not enough transgender “role models” in minority communities. He said that due to this “lack of resources,” they don’t know who to go to, especially when the resources are primarily “for white people.”
“So the reason for the resistance, I think, it’s really a lack of role models in their own ethnic minority or community group,” Wong explained. “So really I can’t think of any Chinese, maybe from my knowledge, that they come out as transgender people and are being honored by the society. I mean, any celebrity that comes out as transgender, they will lose a career very fast. So we don’t really see that, we don’t have that role model.”
Earlier in his presentation, Wong said that over the last 26 years of his practice, he has seen a significant rise in young children identifying as transgender, noting that they make up the large majority of his patients.
“When I did this twenty-six years ago working with transgender people, the majority of my clients [are] adults … and then two to four years later then I see the older adolescents then come to seek help, and then four five years later I see puberty, early, young adolescents seeking help,” Wong said. “And then four, five years later I see the young kids that come to my office like three, four, five years old I’m talking about.”
A previous DCNF investigation revealed that Wong told medical professionals in another online course for WPATH that kids as young as three years old know their own gender better than their parents.
Wong and WPATH did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.
Clear Thoughts (op-ed)
Dr. Wallace Wong’s recent comments on the transgender medical industry being plagued by white influence are both divisive and concerning. As a prominent figure in the field, working with children as young as two, his statement only serves to further racial tensions and mistrust.
The focus should be on providing adequate resources and support to all individuals, irrespective of race, who are navigating the complexities of gender identity. By highlighting a perceived lack of role models in minority communities, Wong inadvertently implies that race should be a determining factor in seeking medical treatment.
Instead of promoting a narrative of racial disparity, medical professionals should concentrate on fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes and respects every individual’s unique journey. It is through understanding and collaboration that we can truly make a difference in the lives of those who seek guidance and support.
In a time where unity is desperately needed, let’s not allow the rhetoric of division to cloud our judgment and hinder progress.

The main reason is because only whites will put up with this IGNORANCE that gender is based on Feelings and can be changed.

Any child is curious . . . they have no idea what gender is. This man is EVIL. We must protect them and help them see that both genders are essential to our existence. Both genders can feel and experience love. It is about truth and righteousness. It is about being loyal to nature and our creator. He is simply evil or is ignorant and selfish enough to think only of the money he will make.

Wong should be prosected and sentanced to life in prison with no bail or early release.

COERCING MINORS INTO BECOMING LIFE-LONG PATIENTS
Politics masquerading as medicine.
We must protect kids from doctors, teachers and counselors who believe that their activism matters more than children’s mental and physical health. “Gender-affirming care” is one of the most devious euphemisms in the common lexicon today. It rightly should be called “gender-denying care” because that’s what is actually happening, you are being stripped of being of a gender of any kind. Women who have complete mastectomies will never be able to breastfeed children. Patients who undergo phalloplasty or vaginoplasty (the attempt to surgically create a fake ‘penis’ on a female or a fake ‘vagina’ on a male) will never have genitalia that function as the actual sexual organ does, and often have negative medical issues associated with those surgeries for many years thereafter, or often for your entire lifetime.
We MUST inform these delusional people that there is no possible way to REALLY “Change your Gender”! There are no drugs or operations that will accomplish this, all they will do is make themselves into a spayed or neutered person and ruin their overall health. They will be on expensive “Medications” for the rest of their lives! There is a significant INCREASE in suicides AFTER the so-called “Sex-Change” is completed.

If it was not on such a serious and destructive issue, this article would be funny. Of course it is the height of absurdity, as is 99%of “transgender” services.
But for the sake of argument, let’s assume he is correct and that more people of color are necessary among medical professionals. Where will you find them?
Even with relaxed standards it takes the ability to solve quadratic equations and absorb, process and manipulate organic chemistry, to repeat it on exams.
Not to mention Covid! The teachers unions shut down schools for minorities for almost 2 years.
You are NOT GOING TO FIND minorities to fill those alleged gaps!
Most of the people he is describing cannot make change for a 5 dollar purchase. My daughter is a degreed electrical engineer. But she had TWO ACTIVE PARENTS. And her IQ is probably 180.
