It would appear that the American Academy of Pediatrics has traded real scientific inquiry from real doctors for the left’s realpolitik embrace of transgenderism at any cost. Even if that price is paid by their patients.

Comments leaked from the AAP by a whistleblower that are now widely reported by Fox News and the U.K. Daily Mail have shown physicians giving voice to their outrage over not merely the organization’s prescribe-first-ask-questions-later attitude regarding the unknown consequences of puberty-blocking drugs on teens, but of the academy’s efforts to silence their inquiries.

During the academy’s leadership conference earlier this month in Chicago, the group blocked Resolution 27, a motion from five physicians that called for a “rigorous systematic review” to reconsider the policy on treating children with gender dysmorphia, according to the Daily Mail.  

During Wednesday’s edition of the “Dr. Phil” show, conservative commentator Matt Walsh exposed the trans community’s pronoun nonsense.

Walsh recently released an Amazon chart-topping children’s book that pushes back against the LGBTQ movement confusing kids with gender fluidity.

Walsh appeared on the program to debate a non-binary married couple who have become LGBT activists.

Beginning to explain his stance, Walsh told the couple that they can feel they are whatever gender they want, but that doesn’t change reality.

The State of California Third District Court of Appeals has ruled that forcing someone to use the various pronouns that are covered by a relatively new California law is unconstitutional because it infringes on the right of free speech. Liberals are up in arms about the court ruling not because the judgement was reached using the Constitution as a guide but because they do not believe in the Constitution.

The provision was a part of the LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights passed in 2017, which was signed into law by former Gov Jerry Brown. Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) claims the judge’s decision does not recognize the it’s not simply ‘disrespectful, discourteous, or insulting.’ Rather, it’s straight-up harassment.

“And, it erases an individual’s fundamental humanity, particularly one as vulnerable as a trans senior in a nursing home. This misguided decision cannot be allowed to stand.”

Anyone who violated the law could face a fine and a year in jail for prolonged use of the improper pronoun. Equality California, who sponsored the legislation released this statement:

“Let’s be clear: refusing to use someone’s correct name and pronouns isn’t an issue of free speech — it’s a hateful act that denies someone their dignity and truth.” 

“California’s nursing home patients deserve better than this — and we’ll be fighting until this decision is overturned.

The Court, in a unanimous 3-0 decision, struck down this key provision of the LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights, created by SB 219 in 2017, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and sponsored by Equality California. The Court upheld the provision in the law that requires nursing homes to place transgender patients in rooms that match their gender identity.

“The Court’s decision is disconnected from the reality facing transgender people. Deliberately misgendering a transgender person isn’t just a matter of opinion, and it’s not simply ‘disrespectful, discourteous, or insulting.’ Rather, it’s straight-up harassment. And, it erases an individual’s fundamental humanity, particularly one as vulnerable as a trans senior in a nursing home. This misguided decision cannot be allowed to stand,” Senator Wiener said in a statement.

SB 219, also known as the LGBTQ Senior Bill of Rights, protects LGBTQ seniors in long-term care facilities from discrimination and mistreatment based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. Wiener authored and passed SB 219 in 2017, and then-Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law.

During CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday, activists and doctors discussed recent laws passed around the nation banning transgender youth from being treated with puberty blockers, testosterone or estrogen, and surgery to assist them in gender transitions.

Why should a doctor perform surgery when it won’t make the patient happy, it won’t accomplish its intended goal, it won’t improve the underlying condition, it might make the underlying condition worse, and it might increase the likelihood of suicide? Sound medicine isn’t about desire, it’s about healing.

In Sunday’s New York Times, Andrea Long Chu writes a heartfelt and heartbreaking op-ed on life with gender dysphoria. Titled “My New Vagina Won’t Make Me Happy,” the op-ed reveals painful truths about many transgender lives and inadvertently communicates almost the exact opposite of its intended argument.

Next week, Chu will undergo vaginoplasty surgery. Or, as Chu puts it: “Next Thursday, I will get a vagina. The procedure will last around six hours, and I will be in recovery for at least three months.”

Will this bring happiness? Probably not, but Chu wants it all the same: “This is what I want, but there is no guarantee it will make me happier. In fact, I don’t expect it to. That shouldn’t disqualify me from getting it.”

Chu argues that the simple desire for sex-reassignment surgery should be all that is required for a patient to receive it. No consideration for authentic health and wellbeing or concern about poor outcomes should prevent a doctor from performing the surgery if a patient wants it. Chu explains: “no amount of pain, anticipated or continuing, justifies its withholding.”

This is a rather extreme conclusion. Chu writes: “surgery’s only prerequisite should be a simple demonstration of want.” This is quite a claim. And we’ll come back to it. But as the op-ed builds to this stark conclusion, Chu reveals many frequently unacknowledged truths about transgender lives—truths that we should attend to.

Sex Isn’t “Assigned,” and Surgery Can’t Change It

First, Chu acknowledges that the surgery won’t actually “reassign” sex: “my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain.”

Sex reassignment is quite literally impossible. Surgery can’t actually reassign sex, because sex isn’t “assigned” in the first place. As I point out in When Harry Became Sally, sex is a bodily reality—the reality of how an organism is organized with respect to sexual reproduction. That reality isn’t “assigned” at birth or any time after. Sex—maleness or femaleness—is established at a child’s conception, can be ascertained even at the earliest stages of human development by technological means, and can be observed visually well before birth with ultrasound imaging. Cosmetic surgery and cross-sex hormones don’t change biological reality.

People who undergo sex-reassignment procedures do not become the opposite sex—they merely masculinize or feminize their outward appearance.

A mutilated girl’s lament is going viral as she regrets her gender transition and is questioning a system that allowed her to make such a ghastly and gruesome mistake.

“Today is 5 years since my double mastectomy. I didn’t think it would hit me this hard but it’s really tough to deal with. My scars are so large and I want to crawl out of my skin,” she wrote.

The transgender girl is outraged at a system that encouraged her to make these decisions and lied to her so she would adopt the depraved lifestyle of delusion.

“I can’t believe I was allowed as a child to have this procedure. No one could have prepared me for the reality of it. I was promised sunshine and rainbows. Happiness. All my sadness and gender dysphoria would go away. Of course a kid who was miserable would take that immediately,” she wrote.

She will live the rest of her days in regret after being enabled by a wicked society that puts Sodom and Gomorrah to shame.

“I don’t even feel as if I fit into any gender anymore. My dysphoria is worse than I could have imagined, the fever dream that is transition blinded me. I’m so tired. I wish I could go back to being a little girl and tell myself no, this is the wrong path,” the transgender girl wrote.

Drag queen Kitty Demure posted a viral video in which he expressed his amazement at why ‘woke’ parents are allowing their kids to be around drag queens, asking, “Would you want a stripper or a porn star to influence your child?”

Demure questioned why drag queens had attracted so much “respect” from the left given that they’ve done little more than “put on make-up, jump on the floor and writhe around and do sexual things on stage.”

“I have absolutely no idea why you would want that to influence your child, would you want a stripper or a porn star to influence your child?” he asked.

Demure went on to point out that drag queens perform in clubs for adults and that backstage “there’s a lot of sex, nudity and drugs, so I don’t think this is an avenue you would want your child to explore.”

Doctors have been sued out of medicine for a lot less than what was done to Nathaniel, a teen boy who’ll never be the same again. Having undergone “sex-change surgery” a year ago — including, of course, his genitalia’s removal — he now calls it a “Frankenstein” transition that has “ruined” his life.

Nathaniel is a 19-year-old whose story was told Sunday, with his permission, by author, public speaker, and proprietor of website SexChangeRegret.com Walt Heyer.

The young man, whose last name was withheld, relates that he was bullied by other boys in grade school because he had some characteristically female passions such an affinity for “girl games.” Then, when “he was a bit older,” Heyer writes at the Daily Signal, “he discovered internet pornography, heard about transgenderism, and as he says, ‘convinced myself that’s what I was.’”

After mustering the courage to reveal this to his mother the summer following eighth grade, she scheduled an appointment for him with “a doctor at an informed-consent clinic,” as Heyer says he put it.

The medical visits started just after Nathaniel turned 15 — and sparked a downward spiral. “‘From then on,' he says, ‘I slowly detached from everything until I was just staying home, playing video games, and going on the internet all day,’” Heyer relates. “‘I stopped reading, drawing, riding my bicycle. I surrounded myself in an echo chamber that supported and validated my poor decisions, because the others were also, unfortunately, stuck in that pit, too.’”

“A month after his 18th birthday, Nathaniel had what’s euphemistically called ‘bottom surgery,’” Heyer continued. “For a male like Nathaniel, that means refashioning the male genitalia into a pseudo-vagina. He suffered some complications that required a second surgery a few months later, and he had facial surgery to further feminize his appearance.” The result?

“Now that I’m all healed from the surgeries, I regret them,” Nathaniel laments nine months later. “The result of the bottom surgery looks like a Frankenstein hack job at best, and that got me thinking critically about myself. I had turned myself into a plastic-surgery facsimile of a woman, but I knew I still wasn’t one. I became (and to an extent, still feel) deeply depressed.”

“I feel as though I have ruined my life,” he sadly confesses.

Hundreds of young transgender people are seeking help to return to their original biological sex, according to reports.

This comes after a damning Food and Drug Administration report that 6,000 children have died as a result of hormone blocking drugs since 2012.

28-year-old female-to-male transgender Charlie Evans, who detransitioned after 10 years identifying as a male, launched The Detransition Advocacy Network to connect with “hundreds” of transgender individuals who also regretted their decision to undergo gender reassignment surgery.

“I’m in communication with 19 and 20-year-olds who have had full gender reassignment surgery who wish they hadn’t, and their dysphoria hasn’t been relieved, they don’t feel better for it,” Evans told Sky News on Saturday. “They don’t know what their options are now.”

“I think some of the common characteristics are that they tend to be around their mid-20s, they’re mostly female and mostly same-sex attracted, and often autistic as well.”

Evans recalled meeting one detransitioned woman with a beard who told her she felt rejected by the LGBT community after returning to her original sex.

“She said she felt shunned by the LGBT community for being a traitor,” Evans said. “So I felt I had to do something.”

This story comes amid a shocking report by the FDA finding that over 6,000 children diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” (a psychological, not endocrine, condition) were killed by hormone blocking drugs since 2012, and tens of thousands suffered from “adverse reactions.”

“Between 2012 and June 30 of this year, the FDA documented over 40,764 adverse reactions suffered by patients who took Leuprolide Acetate (Lupron), which is used as a hormone blocker. More than 25,500 reactions logged from 2014-2019 were considered ‘serious,’ including 6,370 deaths.”

Notably, Lupron has been a boon for Big Pharma, with sales of the hormone blocking drug reaching $669 million in 2017.

A movement is building of hundreds of transgender individuals who desperately want to return to their birth sex after realizing they made a grave mistake with their transition, Sky News has reported.

The movement is starting in Britain, where a charity called The Detransition Advocacy Network is being set up to help people return to their birth sex. They intend to provide support to detransitioners against pressure from the rabid LGBT community that is actively recruiting to their dangerous lifestyle.

The creator of the group, 28-year-old Charlie Evans, has detransitioned publicly and notes that young and mentally ill people are being recruited by the LGBT agenda. These vulnerable groups are being coerced by LGBT activists into taking drugs such as puberty blockers and putting their genitals under the knife.

“I’m in communication with 19 and 20-year-olds who have had full gender reassignment surgery who wish they hadn’t, and their dysphoria hasn’t been relieved, they don’t feel better for it,” Evans told Sky News. “They don’t know what their options are now.”
