Pain and confusion? Maybe for the mentally ill. On Saturday, October 19. 2024 the New York Times published this headline, “Pain, confusion and compassion: How the US has reached a trans ‘tipping point’.”
The past three years have been painful for transgender-identified young people.
Republicans have blanketed the nation with bans on gender-transition treatments for minors, often pairing them with restrictions on trans bathroom access and sports participation.
The latter has become of national interest as athletes like Lia Thomas and Riley Gaines battle for each side in public.
These laws have descended many families into crisis and even drove some to flee to bluer states.
The US Supreme Court is poised to rule on the constitutionality of Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for treating gender-related distress in minors.
The years to come are expected to bring more turmoil for these vulnerable youths as the walls close in on pediatric gender medicine.
“Maybe we should be talking about the pain and confusion caused by allowing children to be sexually mutilated”, said Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, based in Harrison, Arkansas with members throughout the United States. “These sexually deviant degenerates will never give up trying to steal the innocence of America’s children. This is ridiculous to believe anyone can change their sex. These are thoughts of mentally ill people, and I sure don’t understand how or why anyone would support the sexual mutilation of children. Just a few years ago if a parent would have even spoken of trying to change the sex of their child, Youth Services would have swooped in, took the children, and put the parents in asylums for the mentally ill. I have seen many articles of how some of these children that were lured into believing they suffered from sexual dystopia and doctors were more than happy to butcher them, are now suffering from depression and some even to the point of suicide. You have to ask yourself why it’s children being lured in to this false belief. I’ll tell you why, it’s because children are more vulnerable. Adults need to stand up for these children and speak for them. It’s your job as a responsible parent.”
