Transgender Issues

Was TQ+ Surge a Fad or Contagion?

A 4 percent rate of trans self-identification for American college students is still ridiculously high.




Stop the celebration?


Prof. Kaufmann discusses his report:



Related and worth repeating:

His high school “gay-straight alliance,” instead of focusing on homophobia and acceptance of being gay, promoted transitioning for students who were gender nonconforming. In college, he became further immersed in the gender-transition ideology pushed by faculty and supported by administrators.



Lauren Leggierico, co-executive director of the LGB Courage Coalition, tells Mariah Burton Nelson: >>Gay functions nowadays are mostly trans. You go to a lesbian party – and it’s not even called a lesbian party. It’s called a queer women’s party. There’s no one under thirty that looks like me: gender nonconforming. They are all medicalized. They’re all “trans men.”<< https://strongerwomen.substack.com/p/when-girls-who-would-have-been-lesbians

‘Conversion Therapy’ Before the Supreme Court

by on

The U.S. Supreme Court just heard arguments on a Colorado law that bans “conversion therapy” for those under age 18, defined as efforts to change a minor client’s gender identity or sexual orientation, including “behaviors or gender expressions.” The law, however, allows therapy that provides “assistance to a person undergoing gender transition.”
The problem, once again, is the facile comparison of attempts to change sexual orientation, which have been proven to cause harm, and therapy aimed at helping gender-nonconforming kids find peace with their physical sex. In the latter case, we know that most gender-confused minors outgrow any bodily dysphoria and many, perhaps most, come to recognize they are gay, not transgender, if they are not socially and medically transitioned.
Combining “change therapy” targeting sexual orientation and gender identity under the same rubric is one of the worst consequences of replacing the lesbian and gay rights movement with LGBTQ+ advocacy.

Added: The media reporting on this case uniformly doesn’t acknowledge that two very different types of therapy for minors are being commingled — attempts to change sexual orientation (bad and anti-gay) and attempts to help gender nonconforming kids (largely proto-gay) to be more at ease with their physical sex (good and pro-gay).





The Free Press gets it rights:

In Key November Elections, the ‘Pro-LGBTQ+’ Democrats Aren’t ‘Pro-Gay’

Virginia’s Democratic nominee for governor, Abigail Spanberger, can’t bring herself to oppose biological males in women’s sports.

Spanberger has also urged her supporters to “let your rage fuel you” against political opponents. Hint: “rage” rarely leads to constructive engagement, but in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder and rising violence on the left, it’s, let’s say, deplorable.

Meanwhile, the Democratic candidate for Attorney General running with her, Jay Jones, sent text messages in 2022 discussing shooting then-Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and wishing death to his children because “only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”
