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):

Was TQ+ Surge a Fad or Contagion?

by on

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

Under LGBTQ+, Gay & Lesbian Health Becomes Collateral Damage

by on

Efforts to eliminate taxpayer spending for sex-trait modification procedures (or “gender-affirming care” in progressive-speak) have put funding at risk for gay and lesbian healthcare – including AIDS prevention. That’s because gay/lesbian and trans services now fall together under the rubric of “LGBTQ+ healthcare.”

On June 24, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) in Nashville laid off five staff members from its LGBTQ Health program. The cuts were linked to the Trump administration’s moves to stop universities and hospitals from using federal funds for sex-trait modification services and to curtail diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that favor some identity groups over others.

Campus Reform reports that the university’s “Trans Buddy Program”:

… aimed to embed gender ideology in health care by assigning volunteers to advocate for transgender-identifying patients during medical visits, free of charge. … On the description page for VUMC’s “Program for LGBTQ Health,” the institution describes it as “an innovative effort to improve healthcare for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adults.”

In another recent development, Congress’s July rescissions package to reduce government spending initially included cuts to PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, an initiative George W. Bush launched in 2003 to combat AIDS around the world. In this instance, the program drew opposition for being foreign aid and well as LGBTQ+ focused. After lobbying by the Log Cabin Republicans and others, the administration agreed to exempt the PEPFAR cuts from the recissions bill.

The fact that advocates for “gender-affirming care” label sex-transitioning services “LGBTQ+ healthcare” puts a target on funding for traditional healthcare for gays and lesbians—one more way in which, under LGBTQ+, gays and lesbians have become collateral damage.

LGBTQ+ Keeps Spiraling Down, Down, Down

by on

TQ+ gets crazier and crazier, and increasingly homophobic and misogynistic. And the progressive left has chosen TQ+ insanity over LGB people, who now often find their advocates in the fight to protect gay kids and defend women’s spaces among Republicans and conservatives.

I’m glad LGB left-liberals are fighting back, but it will be a long, hard struggle given TQ+’s capture of the left and the Democratic party.

The Backlash Is Real

More:

“Gender ideology” has re-opened the door to expressions of homophobia in the guise of being against LGBTQ+ craziness. All the more reason why the total embrace of TQ+ by formerly LGB groups is so counter-productive.


And this:


Along with the obvious positions that Americans overwhelming reject — social and/or medicalized transitioning of confused minors; males in girls sports — the pronoun and nonbinary madness is driving the backlash.


Relatedly, Detransitioner Maia Poet argues that “restricting access of gender medicine to legal adults (18 year olds and above, in most countries) will not be enough to meaningfully protect kids and young people from being harmed in mind and in body by gender ideology.” From her recent speech for Detrans Awareness Day:

We must understand that what started as a rogue medical experiment confined to a few European hospitals nearly a century ago, has morphed into a widespread ideological assault on reality which has invaded every institution within Western society, which has thoroughly pervaded youth culture. We are beyond the point where legislation alone is capable of neutralizing the threat of this ideology to our young people. If these kids are anything like me, they will need to be de-radicalized and they need proper mental healthcare and guidance. If we truly wish to end the death grip of gender ideology on our society, as a start, we need to face the distress that these children are facing in an aggressively honest, compassionate and practical way.
