Dr. Karla Solheim, Our New Heroine! Excerpts from her Statement in Free Press

Below is an excerpt from the article Dr. Karla Solheim published on August 5, 2026, in The Free Press. It’s taken some time for FP to get to the pithy truth of gender woo—I surmise due to pressure from the LGBTQ side on openly lesbian journalist and Free Press founder, Bari Weiss. I’ve repeatedly asked them to review Behind the Looking Glass at Lime Soda Films YouTube channel. I’ve repeatedly requested them to cover the trans widow angle of the collateral damage of these men who go into 24/7 crossdressing mode. I once got a reply that they didn’t have the bandwidth or something to go into this topic. Perhaps they will now.

I recommend becoming a paid subscriber of Free Press, as this doctor’s story is not going to end in just one article. Other doctors who are considering training in say, cleft palate repair, in order to leave off of this malpractice ridden gender stuff, are probably losing sleep over Dr. Solheim’s whistleblowing. This is the kind of information that turns elections. Prepare yourself to memorize her words, use them during Labor Day BBQs and have the links on your phone. This is, finally, a doctor admitting to widespread malfeasance on a stunning scale. I don’t believe she even understands the scope.

From Dr. Karla Stolheim, Iowa OB/GYN, on Aug. 5, The Free Press:

The choice was easy.

I told the vice president, Rachel Pittman, that I would resign because I did not intend to silence myself on an issue about which I care so much, and one that impacts so many vulnerable patients deserving of the best, evidence-based medical care.

To understand how I came to this position, I have to take you back to my first day working as a general obstetrician at the UnityPoint LGBTQ+ clinic in Waterloo, Iowa, in 2019.

After enrolling at the University of California, I attended the University of Iowa for my medical residency, where I met my former wife; we had three kids together. I’ve poured myself into my work, at times spending over 120 hours a week in the hospital.

When the opportunity presented itself to work at the LGBTQ+ clinic a few times a month, I jumped at it. I knew how lesbians had historically felt ostracized by their doctors, and I wanted to help rebuild trust.

(Ute’s notes: my understanding is that this is in rural Iowa, where many families are traditional Christians and where many other issues may be in play, for female patients coming in with maladaptive trauma response. Doctors like Solheim are not prepared to do psychiatric intake in a clinic for women’s health. WPATH specifically does not ever admit that childhood trauma and sexual abuse experiences are often in the case histories of patients presenting with cross-sex ideation. Please do visit YouTube channel, Trans Widow Ute Heggen, and look up my Heggen Lexicon, to understand the manipulative use of language, institutional capture, to grasp how a logical and responsible doctor could be taken in by the WPATH deceptions.)

(Ute’s note: we in gender critical world know that every doctor prescribing testosterone to young women should be asking these questions.)
