Can Democrats Stop Digging on Trans Ideology?

by on


Harsanyi also observes: “Anyone with a functioning moral compass is horrified by the thought of the government seizing confused children from parents and allowing strangers to mutilate their bodies via “gender-affirming care,” a perverse euphemism for plying children with puberty blockers or hormones, or worse.”

And the party keeps rolling along. Next up: “To the Democrats’ Dismay, the List of Hospitals Ending ‘Gender-Affirming Surgeries’ for Minors Grows.”



Next on the agenda:



And the Canadian Liberal Party: “Member of Parliament Especially Concerned for 2SLGBTQIA+ Canadians in Puerto Vallarta.”



Then there’s the mendacity of the left: “Medicaid Spent More Than $100 Million in Five Years on Gender Treatments and Surgeries for Minors, Government Investigator Finds.”



The party’s positions on trans issues are not based on “science” or medical evidence, but were incubated in left-wing academia:



On the subject of academia and how supportors of trans ideology want to stifle any debate on their positions, the Wall Street Journal reports on an attempt at the University of North Carolina to foster civil debate, which is, of course, opposed by “progressive,” Muslim and TQ+ student groups (“These Schools Want Civil Discourse on Campus. Even That Is Up for Dispute”):

CivComm [is] a residential hall affiliated with a program at UNC called the School of Civic Life and Leadership (SCiLL). … At CivComm, all discussions are governed by an agreed-upon set of rules; as one student put it, while residents might strongly disagree, they must still live with one another…. Her experiences there have made it hard to put people in boxes and helped her recognize their inherent goodness, even when they have very different beliefs. … Another student organization, TransparUNCy, has organized boycotts and teach-ins opposing the school. “Your participation in these classes only continues to fund the cancerous growth of SCiLL,” warned its Instagram account.

The Cause of These Tragedies Can’t Be Ignored

by on

Despite efforts by mainstream media and LGBTQ+ advocates to obscure what’s actually happening, the tragedy of trans shooters can’t be swept under the rug. Children with gender confusion are suffering from a mental health issue, and the answer is not puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries.

The Gender-Identity Ideology Dam Is Breaking

by on

A small step in the right direction. Of course, the WaPo reporter sees a conspiracy by the nefarious Trump admin. And the LGBTQ+++ groups warn that suicides will result (despite all the legitimate evidence to the contrary).

Via the Washington Post:

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has issued a broad recommendation against gender transition surgeries for youths, becoming the first major medical association in the United States to narrow its guidance on pediatric gender care amid a crackdown by the Trump administration.
A statement sent Tuesday to the group’s 11,000 members and obtained by The Washington Post recommends surgeons delay gender-related chest, genital and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old. …
The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, says in some rare cases, teenagers under 18 have received transition surgeries “to reduce the impacts of significant gender dysphoria, including anxiety, depression, and suicidality.” …
Last week, a jury in New York awarded $2 million in damages to a woman who, after detransitioning, sued her plastic surgeon for providing her with a mastectomy at age 16.


Via City Journal:

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has come out unequivocally against “gender-affirming” surgeries in adolescents under age 19. The association’s statement raises strong concerns about not just surgeries but also the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, and it represents an important break with the views of other medical organizations.

Will LGBTQ+++ organizations respond, or simply bury their heads in the sand (sadly, the latter is far more likely):

Detransitioner Chloe Cole’s story is similarly tragic — assigned puberty blockers and given a double mastectomy at 16, she now suffers from chronic pain and struggles with sexual functioning:

How We Got to Where We Are

by on

Excellent analysis by Art Morty. A few excerpts:

>>Millions of teenagers were handed smartphones and left to congregate largely unsupervised on social media platforms like Tumblr and Reddit, where ordinary adolescent anxieties about sex and identity collided with the abstractions of queer theory. En masse, young people began to ruminate over their supposedly “wrong” bodies….<<

>>A vast medical infrastructure has risen to cater to this new market. “Gender clinics” have sprouted across the continent, generating billions in revenue by prescribing lifelong drug regimens and performing surgeries that permanently alter healthy bodies and frequently result in sterility. ….<<

>>At the same time that transgender identification emerged as a novel mass phenomenon among young people, the original adult male population from which transgender ideology first emerged — men with an eroticized internal self-concept of “womanhood” — underwent an explosive expansion into public life. Men who had previously kept cross-dressing practices in private began, in numbers never before seen, to demand recognition not merely as transgender, but as actual women in law and material fact — a categorical shift in how sex itself was defined and enforced. The consequences have been far-reaching, particularly for women’s rights, gay rights, and freedom of speech, as private self-conceptions were elevated into public, legal, and institutional demands.<<

Understanding ‘Useful Idiocy’

by on



And more of Alexander’s examples:

Ideology is how useful idiots know what to think about things they don’t understand. Perhaps “From the river to the sea” sounds poetic to the “Free Palestine” activist, but ask them which river and which sea and you’ll likely get a blank stare. It’s the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, of course, but the point is that chanting the slogan effectively calls for the elimination of Israel and its people. It’s a bit genocidal when you think about it, which they don’t.
“Trans women are women” works in the same way. It’s not a claim about biological reality but an unfalsifiable redefinition of the word woman. It also functions as a sort of loyalty oath. Ask for a definition of woman, and it quickly falls apart. That’s because slogans are engineered to short-circuit thought and leave reason at the door.
