Yet, the U.S. continues as usual, despite devastating reports from the leaked WPATH files, the unassailably thorough Cass Review, and detransitioners themselves.
Great essay. I was listening to a discussion I think between Eric Metaxas and Vivek Ramaswami. They were saying how no matter what else is going on in a society, if it is composed of nuclear families you will overcome all and survive. Our society has become obviously sick. How did this happen. The sickos are certainly a tiny minority. Denesh Desousa explained it. For the most part, good people are not good at all. They are cowards! With them outnumbering the evil wicked people thousands to one, they look the other way rather than call them out because they might get called racist, homophobic, Islamaphobic, transphobic, etc. THAT is why we are where we are. It could all stop NOW!
Thank you. Let me just say that I agree with you 100%: We outnumber them, but I have certainly muzzled myself over the years for fear of cancellation, reprisal, losing friends, etc. However, I have slowly found my voice—primarily because they are messing with our children too damn much, and I will NOT abide that.👊🏾🙏🏾
Ah, the typical buzzwords. Racism, hmmm. I recall Dr.Martin Luther King saying, paraphrasing, he longed for a day his children would be judged by their character and not the color of their skin, which I agree with. How about you?
I have gay and lesbian friends who are disgusted with physically intact men who obviously have gender dysphoria playing in women's sports breaking all their records or smashing their faces with volley balls. Or adult physically intact men undressing in front if minor girls.
Answer this question. Why for example, can't a 5 year old legally drink or buy alcohol, cigarettes, get a tattoo, etc. Yet when a 5 year old says I think I'm a boy or girl instead of what I physically am, we drop everything and accommodate them with drugs or surgery?
Do you even know a trans person? People who know nothing about what they speak, preach the loudest about the dangers of it. if you seriously think, sex reassignment surgery is being preformed on minors- you are a gullible idiot! That does NOT happen, omg!! Fucking seriously, if you really feel like you want to learn more about gender affirming care, please look in to it from a reputable source. A children’s hospital in your area may have some information on their website. Do you know who the best parents are? They are the ones with no children. If you are a parent, you will understand that comment. Same goes with trans kids. If you have no “skin” in the game- shut the fuck up!
so hostile and ad hominem attacking, not persuasive at all. why don't you do some real researching - https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/ . "People who know nothing about what they speak..."
Thank you! When people resort to cussing, they usually don’t have a strong argument. I bring the receipts, because I spend time researching issues before I write about them!!! Appreciate your support, Mike C!
I watched the video that was linked in your comments. She wants to keep politics out of it- I agree wholeheartedly. I hate all this anti-trans legislation. My god, let these families live in peace. The video is very one sided. How many parents were asked their opinion in this research? This Chloe person you speak of has become quite a highly paid celebrity for the right. Why did she have a mastectomy? Why do you believe her, because she said so? I am assuming she says she was forced to do it? Where were her parents in all of this? Kids can’t even get a vaccine without parental consent. So that whole situation seems a little sketchy. In my experience, children are not forced into becoming a different gender. Parental permission is required with a lot of therapy along the way. As far as top and bottom surgery goes, I know of NO parents that are promoting such outrageousness. Foxy you can bring the “receipts” and Mike, you can do some “real” research. But until you at least know a transgender child, this one sided “research” will not get you further in knowing the truth and arguments surrounding it. Something that is said often amongst the transgender community: “I’d rather have a happy child, than a dead one”.
I wasn’t going to respond, because you both seem very intent on your beliefs, but I thought if I could just get you look at the kids who need to transition for there well being, then maybe you could be a little kinder to that transgender person you meet. They are just kids trying make it through life, and they just parents trying to help their children become happy, well adjusted adults. And they don’t deserve not to have targets on their heads because people are misinformed and hateful.
i have two close young family friends that are transgender, one of which has had surgery and taken hormones. it is now impossible for that person to "go back. i work (and have worked) with some men that wear dresses and have beards. i worked in an extremely high profile San Francisco company for many years and heard up close what seems to be mentally unstable ranting in company meetings that the people would be rounded up and done harm. the ranting people seemed very unwell when you listen and talk to them for prolonged time. i've had men that have hit on me that are now deceased due to lifestyle choices leading to physical disease. i feel there is something horribly wrong and that drugs and surgery should be a very, very, very last resort. peer pressure or influence is a real thing with young people, especially with pervasive social media. people that are over 18 are free to make their own choices, but there are real problems with institutions, teachers, social media, big media strongly influencing young people. and it's horribly wrong for so called professionals to say that without action, parents will lose their children to suicide unless they take irreversible action that leads to infertility as common counsel. there are too many sad cases of young people getting "Frankenstein like" surgeries that damage the body that God gave them. looking at pictures some recent surgeries is truly horrifying and i don't suggest you do it unless you are serious about researching all sides
Thank you for not cussing in your latest response.
I worked as a high school counselor in the SF Bay Area, so yes, I do know minors who say they are the opposite sex, use opposite sex names, wear chest binders, etc. One of my daughter’s high school friends was born a boy but considers himself a female now. One of my best friend’s oldest child is transitioning from a female to a
make, having already had a double mastectomy, as a young adult though, not a minor.
I also had at least one student who said she was a boy as a freshman, but when school started her junior year, she considered herself a girl again.
So yes, I do know, and have worked with, transgender young folks. However, that doesn’t sway me from the fact that “gender-affirming care” is harming our children—irreparably.
Even countries in Europe, who are further along on this transgender journey, have put the kibosh on treating minors, because they realize that providing drugs and performing surgeries on them is not really addressing what’s going on with them mentally.
So if Europe recognized that they needed to stop because GAC was not helping, and the seminal Cass Review and the WPATH files back that up, why is the USA going full speed ahead? Answer: 💵💵💵
I don’t think you even read my Substack article at all, because so much of what you say is addressed in the article. I’m writing about the harms of GAC, but you call it one-sided. You’re perfectly welcome to write on the other side. I’d be very interested to read it, because it does seem very personal with you.
So Chloe Cole, the young lady in the video who had a double mastectomy at age 15, doesn’t count as a minor receiving “gender-affirming surgery? Check out the top hospitals that perform this type of surgery and do better research: https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/
Again, that Chloe person is a paid “expert”. She’s probably lying to the people who are gullible enough to believe her. And again, where were her parents? Seriously, maybe you need to stop listening to people who tell you what you expect to hear. Seems you need to do better (gasp, while clutching her pearls) FUCKING research, instead of believing everything you see on the internet.
So you don’t consider the Cass Review and the WPATH files as research? You don’t consider the link that I shared with you as research? At this point, you’re just a troll, because you refuse to carry out a civil, meaningful discussion, starting with you addressing the Cass Review, the WPATH files and the link that I shared that PROVES that hospitals are performing gender-affirming surgeries on minor.
I have proven my point countless times. You, not so much.
I watched your video that was linked in your comments. She wants to keep politics out of it- I agree wholeheartedly. I hate all this anti-trans legislation. My god, let these families live in peace. I stated this all before.
What was your point? Hospitals perform surgery on young people? Do you get all high and mighty against 18 year olds getting boob jobs? What about a 16 year old getting plastic surgery on a scar? Does your research actually put the surgeries into categories that you find acceptable?
Seriously, did you even read the original Substack article before you wrote your original November 15 comment? You said you watched the video that I had linked in the comments, but now I don’t even think you read my original Substack article. If you read the original article, you should have thoughts about these three questions: (1) What do you think of the Cass Review? (2) What do you think about what was uncovered in the WPATH files? (3) What do you make of the European countries pausing and even ending gender-affirming care for minors because of the negative effect they’re seeing on minors? At least give me your thoughts on these three main points as they are crucial to gender-affirming care going forward, in my opinion.
Excellent compilation. I will use this as a reference!
Thank you! I’m a “compiler” at heart. 😉

Are you saying that are you are a good and strong person because you are homophobic, transphobic and racist?
Ah, the typical buzzwords. Racism, hmmm. I recall Dr.Martin Luther King saying, paraphrasing, he longed for a day his children would be judged by their character and not the color of their skin, which I agree with. How about you?

NONE OF IT MAKES SENSE! If you want to transition as an adult, be my guest, but LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE!!!
uh? and your point is? did you even read the article....or just standard trolling
No. I just do better research than you. https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/
Solid!
Thank you, Martin!
