B-Man Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Risky Questions: Are Most 'Trans Kids' Really Just Gay? JAZZ SHAW At Townhall, Jeff Davidson asks the question that will still probably get you thrown off of some social media platforms and canceled in impolite leftist society. But it’s one that has been raised before, including among less politically driven medical professionals. To listen to all of the activists and read the figures being tossed around, you could easily be led to believe that we are in the midst of a pandemic of gender dysphoria cases around the country and much of the Western world, particularly among youths. Young people are “coming out” and “identifying” as the opposite sex, nonbinary, genderqueer, or whatever the flavor of the week is at the moment. How is this spreading so quickly when actual, diagnosed cases of gender dysphoria were as rare as hen’s teeth barely a decade ago? What if most of these young people aren’t actually gender dysphoric at all? What if the majority of them are just gay and they either haven’t realized it yet or haven’t come to terms with it? A new study in the Wall Street Journal demonstrates that many responsible doctors believe that to be the case. https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffdavidson/2024/01/07/are-most-children-with-gender-dysphoria-gay-and-not-transgender-candidates-n2633284 https://www.wsj.com/articles/most-transgender-kids-turn-out-to-be-gay-gender-affirming-care-conversion-therapy-58111b2e https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/01/08/risky-questions-are-most-trans-kids-really-just-gay-n603618 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Suddenly, Breastfeeding Is 'Problematic' I suppose this was inevitable given the current state of craziness in the world, so perhaps we should have seen it coming. From the origins of our species up until the invention and broad distribution of commercial baby formula in the late 1800s, it was understood that mothers nourished their infants by breastfeeding them. It was literally the most natural thing in the world, and the health benefits to both babies and mothers have been well understood. But we’re living in the 2020s now and everything that used to be taken as common sense is suddenly “problematic.” That includes breastfeeding. At PJ Media, Matt Margolis reports that some of our academic betters have concluded that promoting or praising breastfeeding as “the ‘natural’ way to feed infants” is ethically problematic. As you’ve likely already guessed, that’s because it might make the transgender lobby “uncomfortable.” https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/01/09/suddenly-breastfeeding-is-problematic-n603798 Good Lord are we lost. My wife was a “Lactation nurse” during her time on Obstetrics. There is no substitute for natural breastfeeding under normal conditions . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 SCENES FROM WEIMAR AMERICA: Montana Parents Lose Custody of Daughter for Opposing Her Gender Transition. When the gender issue began to become inflamed by activists a few years ago, we were assured that the following scenario would never happen. We were told that anyone who believed a children and family services agency in any state could swoop in and with little or no cause remove a minor child from their parent's custody because the parents opposed their child "transitioning" was paranoid. It happened in Montana. Krista and Todd Kolstad's daughter Jennifer (not her real name) was suffering from numerous mental health conditions, including a desire to engage in attention-seeking behavior. This is normal for a teen suffering from gender dysphoria. https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/01/31/montana-parents-lose-custody-of-daughter-for-opposing-her-gender-transition-n4925985#google_vignette . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 No kidding. "Trans activists often cite low regret rates for gender transition, along with low figures for detransition. But those studies..." "... which often rely on self-reported cases to gender clinics, likely understate the actual numbers. None of the seven detransitioners I interviewed, for instance, even considered reporting back to the gender clinics that prescribed them medication they now consider to have been a mistake.... Garcia-Ryan is gay, but as a boy, he said, 'it was much less threatening to my psyche to think that I was a straight girl born into the wrong body — that I had a medical condition that could be tended to.' When he visited a clinic at 15, the clinician immediately affirmed he was female.... 'You’re made to believe these slogans,' he said. 'Evidence-based, lifesaving care, safe and effective, medically necessary, the science is settled — and none of that is evidence based.'... Garcia-Ryan, 32, is now the board president of Therapy First.... 'When a professional affirms a gender identity for a younger person, what they are doing is implementing a psychological intervention that narrows a person’s sense of self and closes off their options for considering what’s possible for them,' Garcia-Ryan told me...." Writes Pamela Paul, in "As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans. They No Longer Do" (NYT). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/opinion/transgender-children-gender-dysphoria.html?bgrp=a&smid=url-share .

B-Man Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 A Rainbow-Colored Cage Transgender ideology is sustained by scholars’ unwillingness to challenge its contradictory premises. More people are identifying as transgender and seeking medical care for gender dysphoria than ever before. Between 2018 and 2022, gender-dysphoria diagnoses increased considerably in every state in the U.S. except for South Dakota, according to Definitive Healthcare. Children’s share of dysphoria diagnoses rose from 17.5 percent to 20.4 percent in that same period. A JAMA paper noted a threefold increase in “gender-affirming” surgeries between 2016 and 2019. The story that the “gender-affirming” camp tells itself about these developments is equal parts illuminating and frustrating. Proponents typically claim that transgender people, as we understand them today, have always existed, and that more people identify as trans because the public has become more aware and accepting of transgender identities. In other words, these activists believe that apparent increases in the trans-identifying population are not really increases at all; they merely reflect that the language, tools, and cultural climate are now in place to gauge more accurately the trans population’s size. https://www.city-journal.org/article/a-rainbow-colored-cage .
