TCH whistleblowers Eithan Haim, Vanessa Sivadge warn RNC of 'dividing line between good and evil'

'We can fight back and we can win'

By Jon Brown, Christian Post Reporter Wednesday, September 09, 2026

Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) whistleblowers Eithan Haim and Vanessa Sivadge framed the political conflicts in the United States as part of a larger battle between good and evil during their speeches at the Republican National Midterm Convention in Dallas on Wednesday.

Haim and Sivadge appeared on stage together, with Haim taking the podium first and noting he potentially faced up to 10 years in prison under the Biden administration for leaking records in 2023 that allegedly exposed TCH's illegal use of puberty blockers on minors.

"All of it because Texas Children's Hospital, the largest children's hospital in the world, had told the public they shut down their gender program, but that was a lie, and I was the anonymous whistleblower who proved it," he said.

Haim went on to recount that weeks after he anonymously leaked evidence that TCH was transitioning children in violation of Texas state law, armed federal agents showed up at his home. He warned that the Democratic Party has already shown its willingness to weaponize federal law enforcement to enforce an ideology he described as evil.

"What was the justification for their show of force? It was the simple fact that I told the truth about [Texas] Children's Hospital, [which] was manipulating, mutilating and sterilizing healthy young children, and lying about it," said Haim, who went on to explain why he believes the stakes in November are high.

"Because the political movement we stand against, they will destroy this country. They will destroy everything we care about, just like they destroy these children. But the past two years have taught us that we can fight back and we can win," he continued, noting that his case was dismissed shortly after President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.

"Never in our country's history has a dividing line between good and evil been more clear. But never before have we seen what's possible when the power of the federal government is able to move from one side of that line to the other," he added.

Sivadge, a Christian nurse who was fired from her job at TCH in 2024 after leaking records that showed alleged Medicaid fraud related to the illegal castration of minors, laid out the similar intimidation tactics she suffered under the Biden administration.

"My duty as a pediatric nurse and my faith in Christ compelled me to speak, even as the Biden Justice Department sent FBI agents to my home to intimidate me into silence; even as Texas Children's Hospital fired me and publicly attacked my character," she told the audience.

Sivadge said she never couldn't have imagined that her situation would lead to a $10 million settlement, which was announced last month and includes TCH agreeing to establish the first free detransitioner clinic in the United States. The case in which Sivadge served as a relator was part of a years-long investigation aided by the Office of the Texas Attorney General and the U.S. Department of Justice.

"We are deeply, deeply grateful to the Trump administration, to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and to the Republicans in Congress who are fighting for these children and who believe unapologetically that each of these children is made in the image of God," she said.

"Democrats today can't even define what a woman is. They are unwilling to recognize or stand by the countless children that have been sacrificed on the altar of radical gender ideology. We cannot go back to the destructive and barbaric policies of the past," she continued. "We cannot go backwards. We cannot put unproven theories ahead of sound medical ethics. We cannot put predators and groomers ahead of a child-first agenda ever again."

"What will America's response be when the most vulnerable members of our society are under attack? Dr. Haim and I know what we would do, because we've done it. We've stood, we've fought back and we won. Now it's up to you," she added.

Both Haim and Sivadge spoke to The Christian Post amid the height of their legal battles in 2024.

Haim, whose paternal side of the family is Jewish and whose maternal grandfather was a German Christian who helped rescue Jews from the Nazi regime, told CP at the time that his family's history motivated him to maintain courage in resisting evil. He noted ominous parallels between the totalitarian ideology of Nazism and the modern political left.

"These people are just petty tyrants and neurotic bureaucrats. And what that boils down to is that these people are simply bullies. When you're fearful, when you're afraid, that's when they're most effective. So to be fearful and scared is to seal your own death warrant," he said.

Sivadge framed her situation to CP in 2024 as a battle in a larger spiritual war, and said she fulfilled her duty as a Christian by exposing the evil being done in secret.
 
"Ephesians 5 says to have nothing to do with the worthless deeds of evil and darkness but instead expose them, and that everything exposed by the light becomes visible," she said.
 
"So that was really the foundation and the motivation for me to do what I've done, to speak out like I have. Because we have, I believe, a responsibility as Christians to bring to light what's been done in the darkness," she added.
