Newly released DOJ files show that Jeffrey Epstein funded research tied to key figures in transgender medicine, encouraged academic work on \u2018transgender biology,\u2019 and circulated the topic among elite institutional networks.<\/h4>\n

The financial architecture tells a more complicated story.<\/p>\n

Independent investigators<\/a>\u00a0had already traced\u00a0billionaire funding networks<\/a>\u00a0that helped build the infrastructure of gender clinics, advocacy organizations, and media campaigns.\u00a0My own reporting<\/a>\u00a0documented\u00a0medical systems transitioning toddlers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0research linking prenatal synthetic estrogen exposure to transgender identification rates up to 100 times the baseline<\/a>. But what was missing was primary documentation \u2014 evidence capable of moving the debate beyond journalism and into courtrooms and congressional hearings.<\/p>\n

The Epstein Files Transparency Act provided that documentation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six documents released in January and February 2026,\u00a0drawn from Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s private correspondence<\/strong>, connect him directly to key institutional nodes in transgender medicine. They show him funding the surgeon who built America\u2019s first comprehensive academic transgender surgery program at Mount Sinai. They show him commissioning and financing research into \u201ctransgender biology.\u201d And they show him circulating the topic among elite contacts \u2014 including Bill Gates, MIT affiliates, and Obama\u2019s former White House Counsel \u2014 during the years the field was consolidating its institutional power.<\/p>\n

This is not a story about social proximity or island visits. It is a story about influence \u2014 about who financed, shaped, and legitimized a rapidly expanding medical industry that has overridden informed consent, bypassed parental rights, and subjected children to irreversible procedures.<\/p>\n

What follows relies exclusively on primary documents and independently published reporting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Surgeon: Dr. Jess Ting and Mount Sinai<\/h2>\n

Dr. Jess Ting is a plastic surgeon at New York’s Mount Sinai Health System. In 2016, he became the surgical director of the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery \u2014 described at its launch as\u00a0the first full-spectrum academic program in the United States<\/a> focused on transgender surgery and care. He would go on to spearhead Mount Sinai’s first transgender-related vaginoplasty and become one of the most prominent figures in gender-affirming surgical practice in the country.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His connection to Jeffrey Epstein predates his transgender work by years \u2014 and it runs deep.<\/p>\n

The Island Visit<\/h3>\n

In March 2013, Ting accepted an invitation \u2014 extended through an Epstein assistant \u2014 to visit Little St. James, Epstein\u2019s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ting proposed bringing a female friend and her three young children, ages eight and under. An Epstein assistant subsequently wrote to Ting: \u201cI hope you had a nice visit to Jeffrey\u2019s island last Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $50,000 Grant<\/h3>\n

Correspondence shows that Epstein agreed to provide Ting with a $50,000 grant for breast cancer research. Ting described the offer as \u201cextremely generous.\u201d By May 2016, Ting emailed Epstein to report that \u201cthe research you supported with a $50,000 grant has borne fruit,\u201d noting that a paper summarizing the results had been submitted for publication. The research \u2014 examining how the tumor microenvironment influences breast cancer metastasis following surgery \u2014 was funded through the\u00a0Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation<\/a>, according to a Mount Sinai announcement archived in the released files.<\/p>\n

The Transgender Pivot \u2014 and the Pitch<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In that same\u00a0May 2016 email<\/a>, Ting informed Epstein that he had been named director of Mount Sinai’s new transgender surgery program. By July 2017, Ting told Epstein he had “given up plastic surgery and jumped into the world of transgender surgery,” calling it “the most gratifying, worthwhile, and fascinating thing I’ve ever done.”<\/p>\n

Then came the ask.<\/p>\n

Ting directly solicited Epstein\u2019s financial support for a documentary about the Mount Sinai transgender program \u2014 the film that would become\u00a0Born to Be<\/a><\/em>, released in 2019 and later nominated for two Emmys. \u201cIf I could just be really forward,\u201d Ting wrote to Epstein, \u201cI was wondering if you would be interested in supporting this documentary? If so, the producer, director and I would love to come and give you the pitch in person. This is an exciting, groundbreaking project \u2014 both the center and the documentary \u2014 that will do good for the world. I hope you can be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
