There are many parents with desisted kids out there. No one is talking about us or trying to learn from our experience. We have created a website to bring greater awareness about desisters… pittparents.com/p/announcing…

Testifying against California State Senator @Scott_Wiener SB 934, @JamieWhistle stated: “include everyone who’s undergone a change effort and put the word ‘detransitioner’ in the bill.” She says Senator Wiener’s staff refused to add “detransitioners” to the bill.

Taxpayer dollars should never fund transgender procedures on minors. This settlement sends a clear message: children's health and safety comes first. This is a win for Ohio kids and the families fighting to protect them.
The Cleveland Clinic settled with the State of Ohio and USDOJ Friday after an investigation revealed they mis-coded Medicaid billing to disguise transgender procedures on minors. They agreed to halt of procedures for 20 years, and funding $2 million and transitioning care.

If you are a parent new to this world start with this: Don't affirm. That is being a kind, compassionate parent.

This unqualified bore says his secondhand opinions are “not up for debate.” Yes they are. At a university all opinions are up for debate. If you cannot defend your opinions rationally, either they are indefensible or you are too stupid to defend them. In either case you have no right to force them on students who have expressed their wish to attend a lecture by doing so. thetimes.com/uk/education/ar…

the man who invented the lobotomy was widely celebrated and received a nobel prize for medicine
Trans care has obviously enjoyed far stronger support and consensus than lobotomy ever did. Lobotomy, even at its peak, was seen as barbaric and a last ditch attempt to keep people out of asylums. Asylums notoriously had poor quality of life and low life expectancy

I’m hopeful the new clinic in Texas will provide some relief to patients who have been wrongly ignored: detransitioners. Thanks, @PrishaMosley for speaking up, in @IWF. h/t a @ColoradoDoctors for sharing this article with me.

Transgenderism is proof of concept that there are absolutely no limits on what cult ritual from the outermost fringe of human extremity we can market to young children and normalize in less than a decade. You could say that it's a portent of greater horrors to come, but brainwashing tens of thousands of quirky young people to yearn to be chemically castrated and dismembered and threaten suicide unless they get the ruinous self-harm they have been propagandized into believing is their sole chance to become their true selves is already at the outermost limit of horror from the childhood of humanity that the postmodern age has brought back to life in a monstrous and all-encompassing new form that implicates the professional and leadership classes of the whole of the Western world in a terminal moral and epistemic corruption. Let no one gaslight you into saying or seeing otherwise.
The data out of Oregon really are astonishing. A phenomenon once observed in about 1 in 20,000 adult men and 1 in 50,000 adult women (DSM-5) is now being diagnosed and medically treated in at least 1 in 250 17-year-old girls in Oregon.

Incredible testimony from @drjosephburgo : “These young men live with surgical changes that they can't reverse, including the removal of their testicles, the inversion of their penises into a neo vagina, and often the loss of sexual function or pleasure, and that's for life. They're also trapped in a body that requires ongoing medical care due to surgical complications, again for life.”

Tell us again how "this is not happening". The mass contagion continues and the medical establishment is complicit.
This is truly shocking data out of Oregon. Between 2016 and 2023, nearly 1 in 100 insured children ages 8 to 17 received a gender dysphoria diagnosis. By age 17, around 1 in 240 insured girls were on testosterone and 1 in 630 boys were on estrogen.

This is real progress
"As part of a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, the Cleveland Clinic pledged $2 million in care for people who detransition after receiving medical interventions as minors."

Why our kids took on the trans Identity: "My son didn't know himself or what he was good at. His lack of self esteem and a struggle with his identity lead him to identifying as trans.”

Thank you for your courage Claire.
Claire Abernathy was put on testosterone at 14, had a double mastectomy before she was in high school, and was fighting to have her medical transition reversed by 17. Now 21, she is detransitioning and urging lawmakers to help protect minors. trib.al/ZZmqAPh

"Theories I made up out of whole cloth"
Transgender children are not confused, or the product of same sex attraction or trauma. They were born with an internal gender identity opposite their sexed body, which results in gender dysphoria. There is an excellent extant treatment for it - gender affirming care.

He is running for Pelosi's seat in congress. If you think the state should raise your kids and not parents, he is your guy.
In 2012, @scott_wiener authored and passed a bill (SB 232) that would make it nearly impossible for parents to find a mental health provider for their child that would help him or her come to terms with the fact that their gender identity crisis may just be the result of their emerging same sex attractiveness, a childhood trauma or other mental health crisis. Scott wants a gender confused kid to stay that way and get on the bullet train to a life on hormones and endless surgeries. Vote @MHurabiell

✴️ The first visible crack in the Democratic party orthodoxy on pediatric gender. The House passed on Tuesday the “Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act” designed to put parents, not schools, in charge of children’s gender decisions stopping federal funding for gender ideology in classrooms. The real story is that 8 Democrats broke ranks to support the bill. Those defections caused a fury among trans activists. I consider it a small sign of common sense. And maybe it will spark some courage in other party members going forward.
