Castration of Gender-Nonconforming Boys – Why Aren’t Gay People Condemning This?

by on

Because big LGBTQ tells them they’re bigots if they raise objections.

To repeat, children who don’t conform to gender stereotypes may experience gender dysphoria but overwhelmingly come to accept their biological sex post-adolescence and by the end of their teens, typically by accepting that they’re gay, if they’re not lead to begin puberty blockers and proceed to surgery.

Gay people have been cowed by trans activists and their woke allies, including liberal media—yes, call it the trans cult—to think this is somehow right instead of protecting gay kids.

[Update: Boston Children’s Hospital, facing backlash, reportedly added language to its website in August saying it performs genital-transition surgery—phalloplasty, metoidioplasty and vaginoplasty—for those 18 and older and deleted an earlier revision that set the age to qualify for “gender-affirmation” vaginoplasties (creation of an artificial vagina) at 17. The hospital apparently still performs mastectomies on children as young as 15 who identify as transgender.]

On the Taxpayers’ Dime

And then there’s this. I believe future generations will look back on the defense—and celebration—of the indiscriminate killing of babies the way we look back on slavery (well done, Democrats, 2 for 2):

More. “Planned Parenthood receives more than $500 million dollars in taxpayer funding every year. … They also receive many taxpayer dollars through the Title X family planning program. There is zero meaningful separation of staff, facilities, and operational costs at Planned Parenthood clinics between government-funded services and abortions.”

Washington Post from August 2017, “Planned Parenthood’s Virginia affiliate plans to spend $3 million to help elect Democrat Ralph Northam as the state’s next governor.”

Modern Conservative Values

Rob Henderson writes:

One piece of inherited wisdom is the value of the two-parent family. It’s not fashionable to talk about this. How people raise their children is a matter of preference. But it is not really up for debate that the two-parent home is, on average, better for children. …

Along with taking accumulated wisdom seriously, I understand conservative philosophy to mean that the role of the individual in making decisions and undertaking obligations is paramount. Individuals have rights. But they also have responsibilities. …

My adoptive mother and her partner raised me from middle school through high school in the early to mid-2000s in a rural California town called Red Bluff. They made a stable home for me. … Though they experienced homophobia and struggled financially, they never let it get in the way of doing the right thing for their son.

Gender Nonconforming Isn’t Necessarily Transgender

An interesting comment posted here:

When I hear about children who are identified as transgender today, I often think about what would have happened if I had been asked if I wanted to be a boy in 1987. I probably would have weighed the pros and cons and said “does that mean I don’t have to wear dresses or waste my time with makeup, can I have short hair, and not be made fun of for being stronger than all the boys? Sure, I’m a boy if it means you’ll leave me alone and let me play!” That’s a terrible position to put a child in– and, for many female children (and their parents), I fear, taking the transgender path may ultimately be a pyrrhic victory.

I love being a grown lesbian woman today (yup, lots of those “tomboys” will turn into lesbians that reveal the complexity and diversity of womanhood). I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But I have little doubt that many folks would be more comfortable with me and my lesbian sisters if we were “gender-conforming” straight men. What a loss that would be for everyone.
