Chris "Billboard Chris" Elston, a vocal opponent of gender ideology, refused to remove videos of a conversation outside Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, where he expressed his concerns about gender reassignment surgeries for children.

His refusal came in response to an email from a clinician at the hospital who requested the videos' removal, citing discomfort and distress caused by their dissemination.

“No, I’m not taking it down. You knew you were on camera,” Billboard Chris said on X.

“I hope more people see the video.

“The distress you feel is nothing compared to the lifelong harm you are advocating for with children.”

His comment was in response to an e-mail he received from a clinician at Lurie’s Children’s Hospital, which has been engaging in sex change operations and other “therapy” for children.

“Someone who knows me saw your video of me and parts of our unproductive conversation outside of Luries Children’s Hospital in Chicago. I would greatly appreciate you taking all videos of me down. (I’m the one with ‘the hair’)

“As I had informed you on the day, I did not consent or want to be filmed and your continuation of that made me very uncomfortable. Now my workplace, location where I am most days, and clinical role (further specifying my location within the hospital) are presented to a large online group, and that is causing me distress.”

“Thanks in advance for your speedy cooperation.”

Gov. J.B Pritzker, through a non-profit foundation, has directly funded gender reassignment of children –meaning they have engaged in experimental surgery to lop off or greatly alter the sex parts of children – at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, according to Prairie State Wire.

Lurie Children’s Hospital has distributed materials and held training sessions promoting gender theory and sexually explicit content in several Chicago-area school systems. The hospital was accused of promoting gender ideology and providing materials to schools promoting radical gender theory.

Chris, a father who opposes gender ideology, protested outside the hospital, claiming that children cannot give informed consent to the use of puberty blockers and that gender ideology is based on stereotypes.

Additionally, documents released by Manhattan Institute Fellow Chris Rufo alleged that Lurie Children’s Hospital distributed materials promoting gender theory and sexually explicit content in several Chicago-area school systems.
