Had they been put on high doses of hormones or even had surgery, they would have done potentially or actually irreversible damage to their bodies.īut today we live in a cultural climate in which to have ordinary questions about one’s sexuality is to be drawn into a powerful cultural movement that is celebrated by the media, and that demonizes anyone who challenges its radical claims. Most of that group turned out to be gay or bisexual. A 2008 medical study found that most gender dysphoric youths had resolved their dysphoria by adulthood, without transitioning. We know for sure that this is the case with transgenders. My belief is that there are and always have been teenagers who question their sexuality, and maybe even their gender identity, but most of them resolve these questions conventionally.

To call something with such severe physiological consequences a “fad” is too trite, but the transgender thing seems to be a faddish way for teenagers struggling to figure out how to relate to the world sexually to resolve the normal stresses of the maturation process.
It cannot be the case that there are so many truly transgendered young people in the country. God help the poor parents living this nightmare with their children, because the kind of professionals - doctors and others - who ought to be there reining in this insanity appear to have been totally compromised. If this isn’t McCarthyism, what is? It doesn’t become any less McCarthyist because it’s done by the cultural left.

He said that in academia, there is among professors now such fear of the mob that many of them figure it’s safer to keep one’s mouth shut rather than say something that one of these young Jacobins will take as offensive, no matter how absurd that reading is, and then set about ginning up the mob to destroy the scholar’s professional life. It was just scientific, and his answer presumably would have been too. I found that strange, because my question wasn’t ideologically loaded at all. The science simply isn’t there to justify these radical interventions, but scientists are terrified to speak out because of the general atmosphere in academia around these issues now.Įarlier this year, I contacted a scientist about a strictly scientific question related to biology and homosexuality, but he refused to comment. He tells her that he’s extremely worried about this trans thing. She added that her brother is a liberal Democrat, an atheist, and a biologist. She told me that the high school kids are now sorting themselves by where they are on the gender spectrum. And these parents usually become the fiercest LGBT advocates.” Because they think that’s how they love their child.
Because everything in the culture tells them they should. “Because they don’t want to lose their kids. “They’re going along with it,” she replied. This is the cool thing, and the school is falling all over itself to be supportive, and to encourage an “ally” culture. The woman told me that at her kids’ high school, a shocking number of students are going to their parents asking to be put on hormones and asking for surgery, because they are transgender. She said, “I know people accuse you of being alarmist all the time, but let me tell you that they aren’t raising teenagers in this culture.”
You might recall earlier this summer I posted this piece that included an excerpt of a conversation I had in Baltimore earlier in the year: As one of Rod’s sisters in the ancient faith, I ask for your prayers. It is no different than having your child captured by a cult, only this time the cult is a societal bandwagon which wants to do permanent physical harm to her perfectly healthy female body, all in the name of “love”.

Three of her closest friends have already had full transition, paid for by their parents, so it is difficult for her to understand why we won’t do the same. Her therapist knows that she is not transgender but fears there’s no way we can stop her. There is NO way to medically “diagnose” her. A reader comments on an earlier thread emphases below are mine:Īs a parent living the nightmare of having a teen who suddenly announces she’s transgender, I can tell you there are NO doctors who will do anything but agree.
