BREAKING ON TWITTER: Top US OBGYN Has Strong Criticism For Newly Nominated Libertarian Party Candidate’s Stance on Trans Biological Males in Girl’s Bathrooms

May 27, 2024OBGYNBy Maria Sainz

Based on the tweet by the newly nominated Libertarian Party’s Candidate for President, Chase Oliver: https://x.com/ChaseForLiberty/status/1638164919425155073

  • The Libertarian Party has recently nominated Chase Oliver as their candidate for president in the 2024 Presidential Election. Libertarians are traditionally strong fiscal and foreign policy conservatives, with a preference for a small government and no interference of government in the social lives and policies of the states and smaller communities. Despite this, their new candidate, in a still not-deleted tweet clearly stated his support for allowing biological males into women’s bathrooms in elementary, middle and high schools in this March 2021 tweet:
  • Dr. Greg Marchand, a leading US OBGYN, strongly opposes allowing biological males into girls bathrooms at any time. Dr. Marchand contends that childhood, adolescence and teenage years are a time of trying out different roles and beliefs, and that allowing biological males into female’s bathrooms invites confusion and even the possibility of assault as it works directly on the most primitive emotions of children, which are being sorted out at this time, as they develop and endeavor to become mature functioning adults in society.
  • Dr. Marchand contends that policies of allowing boys into girls bathrooms promote perversion and abuse, and that citizens who wish to have surgical or hormonal alterations to more closely resemble the opposite sex are best being allowed to do so after the age of consent, where there is less risk of regret. Until that age these children should be counseled as far as options and receive any mental health treatment they may need until such time as they can consent to transitioning procedures if they so choose.

Board Certified Physician, Greg J. Marchand MC is available for comment and discussion panels!

Dr. Marchand has been on all major outlets, including the Today Show, Fox and Friends, and Inside edition, and is available for immediate booking in the LAX or PHX areas or by Skype and Zoom. (Links below.) Dr. Marchand is not opposed to heated panels, but prefers not to be involved in formats where talking over the other debate contestants is required.

Quotes from Dr. Marchand:

“Libertarians are strong fiscal and foreign policy conservatives, and against government interference in social issues. This statement stands against the Libertarian position and against the safety of school age girls. This statement should disqualify Mr. Oliver as a candidate.” (@MarchandSurgery Tweet (https://x.com/MarchandSurgery/status/1795291557379412315))

“Schools in the US need to be a safe place to learn, not a place where parents need to fear a government enabling perversion.”

“Anyone who doesn’t think that laws allowing boys into girls’ bathrooms in school would be abused simply does not remember what some teenage boys were like. Like giving a monkey a loaded gun, it is simply asking for trouble.”

We're thrilled to announce the publication of a groundbreaking systematic review and meta-analysis led by Dr. Greg Marchand and the dedicated research team at the Marchand Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery! Titled "Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery in Ovarian Cystectomy: A Meta-Analysis", this comprehensive study compares two advanced minimally invasive techniques for removing benign ovarian cysts — Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS) (using a single small incision, often hidden at the umbilicus for superior cosmetic results) and Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery (CLS) (using multiple small incisions). Analyzing data from 9 studies involving 1,368 women, the meta-analysis reveals compelling insights: LESS is associated with longer operative times (by about 9.4 minutes on average), likely due to the technical demands of working through a single port. However, patients undergoing LESS benefit from a shorter hospital stay (reduced by approximately 0.26 days). Importantly, there are no significant differences in key safety outcomes: postoperative pain scores (at 6 and 24 hours), estimated blood loss, need for opioid analgesics, drop in hemoglobin levels, or overall complication rates. These findings strengthen the evidence that LESS is a safe, effective, and viable alternative to conventional laparoscopy for women with benign ovarian cysts — offering faster recovery and excellent cosmetic advantages while maintaining comparable safety and pain profiles. This work adds valuable high-level evidence to the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and reflects the Marchand Institute's ongoing commitment to advancing women's health through rigorous, volunteer-driven research.

What patients say
  • 14517468_1646198135690553_6990924301147850409_n“I delivered both my beautiful babies with Dr. Marchand and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Every doctor visit up until I was in labor was great, he took all the time to answer all my questions. I didn’t feel rushed in and rushed out of the office. The office was always very clean! The staff were always very friendly. When I was in labor he made sure my birth plan was the most important thing! He always had my best interest in hand! My first delivery I was induced and it took 3 long days and Marchand kept checking on me all hours of the night!! If I did it all over again I’d definitely use Marchand as my OB again!”

  • “I initially met Dr. Marchand upon an emergency room visit due to complications during my first pregnancy. My husband and I had recently moved from out of state. Not knowing many people here, in a scary situation and finding myself hospitalized was made a lot easier once we met Dr. Marchand who we decided would be the best doctor to see my care through the pregnancy and ultimate c-section. He always had time for our questions even when we knew he had many other patients. He did a great job with the surgery and follow up care and was very pleasant, patient and professional throughout the process. When we decided to have another baby, he saw us through another pregnancy and c-section and continues to be my OB of choice. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any girlfriends I know.”

  • “Growing up I have had my fair share of woman health issue from Endometriosis, PCOS, Severe Pelvic Pain, Loss of Pregnancy and Infertility and more pelvic surgeries than I can count. I have seen many different doctors till about 6-7 years ago when I needed emergency surgery and met Dr. Marchand and now I refuse to go to any one else. With the many issues I have had both Dr. Marchand as well as his whole office staff have been so helpful I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s very hard to find an honest, trustworthy doctor these days but rest assured you can’t go wrong with Dr. Greg Marchand. They are open late and almost always can fit you into the schedule for emergencies and you can always reach him no matter what time it is if you have questions. Dr. Marchand is an amazing surgeon and loves what he does. He has delivered many friends and family’s children and hope that one day he will be able to deliver mine as well.”
