Last month, I reported that a transgender-identifying male double-murderer was caught having sexual intercourse with a female inmate at the Washington Corrections Center for Women.
It is nothing short of a scandal that men are invading women’s spaces. In sports, this could mean a female athlete being cheated out of her scholarships, titles, and trophies. In a college sorority, this could mean female members being subjected to voyeurism and the loss of their sisterhood. In prison, this could mean rape.
The Biden administration is about to cross the Rubicon. It will soon release a radical rewrite of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in publicly-funded schools, to include gender identity.
With this overhaul, any educational institution that receives federal dollars will be forced to allow boys to compete in girl’s sports unless the schools prove that it would compromise safety. In advance of the announcement, several Republican states passed laws to protect the women’s division. But muddying the waters is a hodgepodge of court rulings, federal statutes and regulations, and policies adopted by the various athletics governing bodies. Many of these conflict with each other, making it increasingly necessary for the Supreme Court to intervene.
Gender ideology has disenfranchised women, but it has sacrificed children completely. Following the Biden administration’s cues, progressive states have pushed the medicalisation of gender-confused minors despite growing concern within the international scientific community about its long-term risks.
In late 2022, California made itself a child gender-transition “sanctuary state.” The legislation facilitated out-of-state tourism for children to receive invasive hormone therapy and surgeries in California without the knowledge or consent of their parents. The law also allowed the state to strip custody from parents, including those who don’t live in California, if they object to their child undergoing these life-altering interventions.
These blue states are gambling that these laws won’t come back to haunt them. Over the last few years, de-transitioners have come out of the woodwork to share their tragedies. Now plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases, many of them find their doctors, surgeons, and gender therapists, who swore to “do no harm,” culpable for the permanent damage to their bodies and mental health. The medical industry has produced an army of victims, who are about to unleash an unprecedented legal reckoning.
The supreme negligence of the affirmation model is that it ignores the underlying struggles that lead to gender transition.
Molested and raped by her father throughout childhood, female de-transitioner Evie was in and out of hospitals for self-harming and suicide attempts for years. At eleven years old, an inpatient psychiatrist planted the idea in her head that many girls who suffered trauma when they were young go on to have gender dysphoria. After coming out as transgender three separate times, Evie got testosterone injections and a double mastectomy. The area of removed tissue soon after developed an infection that nearly killed her.
The panic and fearmongering of gender ideologues had drowned out doubts about side effects. From autism to abuse in adolescence, psychological comorbidities in gender dysphoric youth have come under new examination thanks to a groundbreaking Finnish study. It found that suicide among gender dysphoric kids is extremely rare and most likely driven by preexisting psychological problems, weakening the activist argument of “lifesaving care.”
Some corners of Europe have blazed the trail for sanity. Retired pediatrician Hilary Cass’s report commissioned by the National Health Service led to the closure of England’s only gender clinic for minors, which she deemed “not a safe or viable long-term option” for children.
The dominoes continued to fall this April. Besides concluding that no good evidence exists on the long-term fallout of gender interventions, the report recommended that gender-referred kids to the NHS be screened for “neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, and a mental health assessment.”
But what Cass has said in public, some of America’s doctors have only said in private.
Behind closed doors, members of the leading global medical organisation devoted to transgender health care admitted that youth gender interventions are experimental and informed consent from minors is impossible. Even WPATH president and American gynecologist Marci Bowers said during a 2022 board meeting that puberty blockers have not-fully-known effects on fertility and sexual functioning. Despite this uncertainty, WPATH has issued urgent blanket statements with the same emotional blackmail given to worried parents of gender dysphoric kids: anti-child gender transition is transgender erasure.
Like the states allowing men to encroach on women’s sports and prisons, the American medical apparatus is displaying the height of cowardice by putting the gender agenda above the most vulnerable.
