The issue of whether or not someone ought to change their sex is monumental. No longitudinal studies exist that reveal the satisfaction levels of those who have undergone radical surgeries and radical changes. Injecting children with hormones, hormone blockers, and other substances that the body did not generate poses great risks. The issue should not be left to anyone aged six to 16 years old.
Gay and Confused
Evidence is now emerging that our medical establishment is influencing children to undergo drastic procedures that might not be justified. The notion of gender-affirming care ignores a critical issue. Are children who are confused about whether they should be boys or girls actually homosexuals? It's a vital question that few within medicine or politics are willing to confront.
Long before any massive procedure to extract, diminish, or otherwise irrevocably alter children’s sexual development, sex characteristics, and genitals, the possibility of being gay needs to be explored. In one study, nearly 80% of children who had shown signs of gender dysphoria didn't comprehend the disorientation and resulting confusion that they felt. In a 2021 research project among young boys, nearly two out of three eventually realized that they did not seek a sex change but, in fact, were gay.
The transgender movement’s current grip on America and the world invariably professes that feminine boys and tomboy girls have been born into the wrong bodies. A more logical view is that gay children do not conform to what is regarded as traditional sex roles. Thus, physicians, hospitals, health centers, and the entire medical industrial complex, in many regards, miss the boat on this topic.
Logic Still Matters
Occam's razor, a 700-year-old problem-solving approach, contends that when facing competing explanations for a situation, the simpler one ought to be considered first: the most logical answer to a problem is usually the right answer. In most cases, young children who seemingly need gender transformation procedures are simply gay.
Physicians, medical practitioners, therapists, and counselors who sincerely care about their patients ought to explore the realm of possibilities long before performing medical procedures, which effectively will render patients sexually dysfunctional for the rest of their lives. Even the U.S. military has succumbed.
What could possibly be in the way, however, of this vital exploratory approach? Why don’t more doctors and medical establishments first determine whether or not a patient might be gay as opposed to requiring a life-altering procedure?
Ka-ching
One cynical but highly accurate response is that transgender operations are big business today. The procedures are quite costly. Depending on how a patient is covered, insurance would cover all the costs or some of the costs. In any event, once the gravy train is rolling, it's hard to stop it.
Various reputable institutions across the U.S. will engage in such intricate operations for their patients with insufficient forethought. And why not? The patients want it; the parents might want it; whoever initially indoctrinates the children applauds it, and the medical facility can make an excellent profit.
The pressure on physicians and healthcare facilities is intense. Every day of their practice, they are bombarded with the message that transgender identities and procedures are the new civil rights. This is not true, but the Left has been selling it for many years now.
Regardless, one would hope that concerned healthcare institutions would be more cautious in their approach to inflicting infertility, pain, and potential isolation on young, potentially naive patients. Such patients invariably cannot fathom the impending decades-long challenges of proceeding down a road from which there is no return.
Who Benefits From Destroying Lives?
What is the Left’s underlying motivation for relentlessly pushing transgenderism? Why do they revel in seeing so many confused young children? It is not for reasons of caring or concern for such individuals -- much like their selective concern for shooting victims. Leftists advocate for gun control following a mass shooting but perpetually exhibit no concern about far greater numbers of shooting victims every week in the inner cities of, say, St. Louis, Baltimore, or Detroit.
One theory holds that the Left is giddy about fomenting a transgender mass movement politics in order to convolute objective reality and turn it on its head. If they can coax young children to believe that they were born into the wrong body, then they can induce people to believe pretty much anything.
