This is fantastic news. The Davis school district @DJUSD has been secretly providing girls with free breast binders through the schools “Wellness Centers.”

Here I am demonstrating the damage these binders do to girls.
Send them all to prison. https://t.co/Cxftf4AbIN pic.twitter.com/pAIZd4as5l
Beth Bourne's post quotes an announcement from the HHS Rapid Response account about FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary stating that the FDA is issuing warning letters to 12 manufacturers and retailers for illegally marketing chest binders (compression garments used to flatten breasts) to children for treating gender dysphoria. This action occurred on December 18, 2025, as part of broader Trump administration efforts to restrict gender-affirming care for minors, including proposals to withhold federal funding from hospitals providing such care.In her post, Bourne praises this as "fantastic news" and criticizes the Davis Joint Unified School District (
@DJUSD
) in California for allegedly providing free chest binders to girls secretly through school "Wellness Centers." She includes a video demonstrating what she describes as the physical damage caused by binders, ending with a strong statement calling for those involved to face prison.Key Context:- FDA Action: Confirmed by multiple sources (e.g., HHS press release, ABC News, NPR, STAT News). Chest binders are classified as Class 1 medical devices, typically approved for post-mastectomy recovery, not for gender dysphoria in children. The FDA views marketing them for this purpose as illegal.
- Health Risks of Chest Binding: Peer-reviewed studies (e.g., Journal of Adolescent Health, 2024–2025; CHEST Physician, 2025) indicate acute risks like restricted lung function, pain, skin issues, and musculoskeletal problems while worn. Effects are often reversible upon removal, but chronic use may cause longer-term issues. Many transgender youth report binding despite risks, citing mental health benefits like reduced dysphoria.
- DJUSD Allegations: Bourne's claim aligns with her prior activism (e.g., protesting school policies on transgender support). She later posted about CommuniCare Health Centers partnering with schools to provide binders and other items confidentially. No official DJUSD confirmation found in public records, but similar wellness programs exist in California schools.
- Beth Bourne's Background: A prominent activist in California opposing "gender ideology" in schools, chair of Moms for Liberty Yolo County chapter. Known for protests at school boards, including controversial actions like undressing at meetings to oppose transgender facility policies. She has a personal history with the issue (estranged from a nonbinary child) and frames her work as protecting children from what she calls a "medical scandal."
- Broader Policy: This ties into Trump administration moves (announced December 18, 2025) under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aiming to limit or ban gender-affirming care (puberty blockers, hormones, surgery) for minors nationwide, contradicting guidelines from major medical organizations like the American Medical Association.
