This editor contends that it’s not transgender people who are being “erased” from society, but rather detransitioners, who are shouted down by trans people because they don’t want you to know they exist. President Joe Biden goes all-in on Transgender Day of Awareness but apparently has no awareness of people who had the “gender-affirming care” he pushes and decided when they were older that they made a mistake.
Reuters reported just a day ago that the number of children seeking gender-affirming treatment has surged in recent years — nearly three times as many children ages 6 to 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2021 than in 2017.
Here’s detransitioner Katie Lennon testifying in favor of New Hampshire’s proposed “Parents’ Bill of Rights”:
“I thought that in the end I could become a man but all I became was a mutilated and abused version of myself”

I did a deep dive interview with Katie before she testified. She has an amazing story, can’t wait until you guys can watch and learn!

The term “brave” has been abused to the point of meaninglessness. But this is truly brave. Ms. Lennon was the victim of a medical atrocity that should have been impossible in light of the Hippocratic oath and the Nuremberg code. How could we possibly allow this to happen? https://t.co/4te244VeYo

It will never not be shocking to me that we are doing this to people.

This is so sad. We are failing too many.

What struck me about this is when Katie says that nobody meant to lock her in to something that caused her harm – they were all just "trying to be nice". The idea that it is a kindness for EVERYONE to lie to troubled teens about something so huge is so obviously, naively wrong.

But she certainly would have ended up dead from suicide had she not had this life-saving care.
Everyone in her life affirmed her transition to be “nice”. It takes courage to say no out of love.

I’m so proud of these young women who are bravely coming forward –
Knowing that the reception they will get is frequently hostile but also understanding deep in their heart that they have an important voice to share with younger teens and parents around the world.— Sentinel 🇺🇸 Christian. Wife. Mom. Pediatrician. (@Act_Forward) April 19, 2023
What are we doing to our children. Can you even begin to imagine what future generations will say about this?

Why do some doctors insist on playing Frankenstein with children’s bodies? Is the money that good?
— Mallorie Steele (@ItsSoHardNotTo) April 19, 2023
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for having the courage to share your story. It needs to be told.

Even at 18 girls, who supposedly mature faster emotionally than boys, can be convinced that life is easier as a man or that all of the problems of immature life can be escaped with a "procedure". How much worse is it for even younger girls, confused by all their hormonal changes.

Thank you for your incredible bravery Katie. God bless you on this healing journey.

Trans activists and allies would rather shout down people like this than acknowledge that the honeymoon period after getting gender-affirming care might not last into your 20s and 30s. But all of the doctors and teachers and activists think somehow that they’re doing a good thing.
