Transgender Confusions

It’s hard to think of an area of medicine more controversial today than the treatment of gender dysphoria in youth. Proponents and opponents of the new “affirming” paradigm of treatment routinely accuse each other of politicizing medicine, promoting dangerous ideologies, and abusing vulnerable children. In the United States, civil rights discourse has come to overlay—some would say distort—these debates. In 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch likened North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” to the “dark days” of Jim Crow, when states “had signs above restrooms, water fountains and on public accommodations keeping people out based upon a distinction without a difference.” A handful of federal circuit and district courts have ruled that schools must

How many dead children would there be if so-called 'scientists' and 'medical professionals' treated anorexia the same way they are treating this mental illness? They would have argued 'let the child starve herself to death because that's what her brain is telling her to do and it would be discrimination to force her to eat.' Of course, they would have wrapped their arguments in fancy scientific polysyllabic words to make us think they know what they're talking about.

Children can not legally consent to have sex because they lack the prerequisite maturity to make that decision free of coercion and consider the long-term detriments. But children can legally consent to surgical castration, surgical severing of their penis, and hormonal alterations to their developing bodies - all on the basis of sex. The legal concern with "defect of reason, from a disease of the mind" is important enough to let you get away with murder but not important enough to get in the way of a child consenting to this barbaric butchering of their bodies to satisfy their troubled minds. This is evil.

Gender dysphoria ? How about the boy kids go play ball and come home when the sun sets. and if you get a bruise shake it off. How about the girls go do girl stuff that I don't get 'cause I'm a boy. How about i never hear the word "dysphoria" until I'm in medical school and then it's a freak thing

Interesting numbers in this article, good read if you know anyone jumping on the transgender bandwagon (I have two in my extended family). Social media are playing a huge role in this madness. It almost doesn’t matter what schools do. Kids are being groomed electronically. What does matter is parenting. Absentee or cowardly parents take the easy way out and allowing the fashionable social-political movement define their kids’ development. No one wants to be rejected by their own child by being a “bigot”. I grieve for any parent being caught up in this dilemma, but I hope parents have the guts to love their children well and to be the adult in the room.

Long article to say...what? That legal arguments abuse "science" to make their cases? Of course, they do. What's the news there? Law in practice is advocacy. FTA: “If nature really offers us more than two sexes, then it follows that our current notions of masculinity and femininity are cultural conceits." And this is the real wrangle people hate to deal with. On the one hand, women are EQUAL to men, with various special programs to guide them and provide paths to break those unfair and arbitrary "glass ceilings", like becoming first responders, fighter pilots, or President of the US. They are given advantages in mentorship and preference with "affirmative action". And few here think that's unfair, despite their sons paying the penalty for all this. And they recognize the growing futility - check out college admissions and graduation figures for white males. Women advocates will call these advantages a "level playing field" that provides equity and EQUALITY wth their male competitors. Women need all these breaks because the cultural model is that they are not as strong, i.e. weaker in many ways that are ultimately "immaterial" but which need shoring up by program after program in schools and business alike. Whole occupations are essentially reserved for women, from education to verterinary medicine. Check out those professional school admissions, and how decisions are made. It's "wrong" to make such decisions on the basis of race, but gender...well, that's different, and acceptable. In sports women like Meagan Rapinoe have been screaming EQUALITY. The US Women's Soccer Team was soundly whipped by a boy's high school team. They don't want EQUALITY, they want theirs fenced off. And to think there are many who cannot understand the changing world and want to preserve those "cultural conceits" for athletics, but are fine with lowering physical standards for first responders so the ladies can make the force. Why is that?

I have seen two examples of genuine gender dysphoria. Years ago my family lived in Westchester and we knew two families with children rejected by their same gender classmates. Both were little girls-one was a tomboy and one had issues related to a birth defect, a deviated spine. Each were rejected by the other girls in their classes-the tomboy for not being a girly-girl and preferring short boyish haircuts, playing with the boys, and wearing male costumes (she was Batman) at Halloween; and the other for being smaller, frailer, not as pretty. When I lived there my youngest son went to school with both and he was liked immensely by both of them. He'd come home from 1st & 2nd grade with notes from them tucked in his backpack. They were-then-attracted to the opposite sex. But because they were different than the other girls they felt peer-pressured and adopted more male mannerisms. I have long since moved from Westchester but I see the families thru Facebook. The girl with the spine issue now prefers to be called a male name. The tomboy has grown up to be a beautiful young lady and has fully embraced her womanhood. One girl went down one road, and the other took a roundabout back to being female. Today's efforts by trans-activists to indoctrinate little children into thinking they can be something other than they are comes into better focus as I remember these two girls. Little children are vulnerable, unsure of themselves, impressionable, and easily manipulated. What happened to the two girls I knew happened as a result of their environment, not as the result of an institutionalized psychological tactic. Back then, cases like theirs weren't prominently ballyhooed in the press like they are today. What's happening today is a concerted effort by the Left to totally destroy us by eliminating our identities. The Left would prefer were were all mindless obedient drones who had no individuality. The Florida bill prohibiting mention of sexuality in schools from pre-K to 3rd grade that is so hated by the Left is exactly what we need in place to curb these MONSTERS who want to ruin everything by ruining our children and future generations.

Cultures are built on roles. Nations are built on cultures. If you want to destroy a nation, then tear apart its culture. If you want to tear apart its culture, then tear apart its roles. Once people lose their understanding of the roles and relationships of those around them and the very definitions of those relationships, they become lonely, isolated and lost. In many cases they become angry and look for a solid cause to provide some stability. The roles of male and female are foundational to our culture. God, marriage, motherhood and fatherhood are the pillars that built American society. Marriage has been torn apart in recent decades and children have been robbed of family stability. The paths that guide us through life have been barred and 'science' has provided detours into the void.

During a meeting of the Metropolitan Nashville Board of Public Education this week, a hot mic caught board members apparently pondering "can we just go set Marsha Blackburn on fire?" — the latest instance of public school boards saying the quiet part out loud and revealing their partisan hostility against conservatives and Republicans. Video from the meeting, posted here on March 23rd by the district, captures the moment starting around the 1:02 mark after the school board tried to bring its meeting to order but, still lacking a quorum, called for a short break during which a copy of the meeting agenda appears on screen

We only learned this week that the FBI and Southern District prosecutors have had James O’Keefe and Project under surveillance in the case of Ashley Biden’s diary roughly since President Biden was sworn in. I wrote about the related court orders here (March 22) and here (March 23). This surveillance was in addition to the raids executed by the FBI this past November and subsequently leaked to the friends of the national security establishment at the New York Times. I take it that the government is out to get Project Veritas. Yesterday the government responded to the motion filed by O’Keefe and Project Veritas this past Wednesday.

BOSTON, MA- Law Enforcement Today has reported a couple times on Boston-area Black Lives Matter activist Monica Cannon Grant, recently indicted along with her husband for allegedly misappropriating funds from her nonprofit, Violence in Boston, for personal use, including a home in Taunton, Massachusetts, vacations, and personal services. Now, the Washington Examiner is reporting that a number of prominent Massachusetts Democrats helped boost Cannon-Grant’s profile. Among those who pushed Cannon-Grant into prominence are Democrats including Biden’s Labor Secretary and former Boston mayor, Marty Walsh; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. This all occurred during the time when Cannon-Grant and her husband, Clark were allegedly pilfering the charity.

Gallup on Wednesday published a new poll showing that Americans just love Ketanji Brown Jackson and want her on the Supreme Court right away: she is supposedly broadly popular, more so than anyone who has been nominated to the court since the 1980s. The far-Left news aggregator BoingBoing is thrilled, gushing about “the first black woman nominated to the Supreme Court and the most popular Supreme Court nominee in modern history,” but Gallup’s poll is really less about Ketanji Brown Jackson, whom nobody had ever heard of before Old Joe Biden nominated her to the Supreme Court, than it is about the lingering power of the

The disconnect between New York Times writers and the country writ large isn’t surprising. Young, upwardly mobile, college-educated progressives — the cultural and political milieu that most elite journalists come from — have consistently polled as the most Covid-hawkish demographic in America. But that cohort is increasingly out of touch with the national mood. As the rest of the country — including a growing number of Democrats — moves to return to normal, elite progressives aren’t moving with them. The progressive wing of the Democratic Party, consisting of Americans who identify as “liberal” or “very liberal,” is one of the most educated political groups in the country

Going into the November midterms, we learn that the Republicans enjoy a double-digit generic ballot lead over the Democrats thanks to the concatenating failures of arguably the worst administration ever to preside over the nation. This has led to an overweening confidence by many pundits and commentators that a Republican sweep of the House and the Senate is in the offing. But one should never underestimate the resources of the Democrats, who are no slouches at strategic planning and, judging by past performance, have no intention of playing by the electoral rules. If this exigency is not taken into consideration and forcefully anticipated, the Republicans will lose another election

My family members have been major Disney fans for as long as we can remember. My parents honeymooned at Walt Disney World, and we go there at least once almost every year. I told somebody just yesterday that Disney keeps making it harder for families like ours to be Disney fans. Between their constantly increasing prices and their continuing efforts to make trip planning more difficult, Disney has taken a lot of the fun out of our visits to the parks. On top of that, the company, which remained publicly apolitical for decades, has increasingly taken a hard-left stance. Earlier this month, I wrote about how Disney was walking a fine line

So when the New Yorker runs a sober 5700-word article about what is arguably, in the minds of our woke brethren, the major issue of the day - namely, trans athletes - it merits notice.

Shania Twain once had a hit song called “Man! I feel like a woman,” recorded in 1997, which was a celebration of womanhood. Twenty-five years later, women athletes are singing a different tune, one of dismay over competing against biologic men. What was once "girl power" is now simply horsepower, the benefits of male puberty and testosterone. In the song, it is, “Men’s shirts, short skirts”, but now it’s women’s swimsuits, long hair, and first place finishes. I am referring to Lia Thomas, winner of the NCAA collegiate women’s swim championship 500-yard freestyle event last week. But Lia wasn’t always Lia and was born and grew up as a guy.

The lack of self-awareness among the global elites is stunning. After Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau cracked down on protestors in his own country and sent his henchwoman, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, to freeze the assets of protesting truck drivers and their supporters, he traveled to Brussels to speak to the European Parliament. His theme was the threats to democracy posed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the growing distrust of governments in the West in the face of economic uncertainty. (Snip) Speaking directly to Trudeau, he added, “Canada, once a symbol of the modern world, has become a symbol of civil rights violations under your quasi-liberal boot in recent months.

DENVER — A 71-year-old Denver man is facing a felony charge after city officials say he made a pickleball court without permission.

But Joe was upbeat: According to CNBC: President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would consider himself “very fortunate” if former President Donald Trump runs against him for a second time in the 2024 election for the White House.
