2025 FTC anti-trans workshop
In July 2025, Boylan was a panelist at the 2025 US Federal Trade Commission anti-trans workshop. Boylan’s bio for the panel titled “Blowing the Whistle on ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors” stated:
“Leta Boylan is a former psychiatric nurse who worked at a taxpayer funded facility for teenagers and adolescents. During her time there, she became aware of the series of institutional policies that promote and reinforce social transition of minors while actively hiding such affirmative treatments from parents. She was unwilling to engage in dishonest or incomplete documentation and was fired in December 2024. She is now able to speak freely about the patterns she witnessed, which she maintains included parental rights deprivation, public and private fraud, and professional malfeasance.”
