Here is an older essay on

that is still relevant today. We hear our sons are either ASD or AGP when neither is the case if they are heterosexual. https://t.co/bQjUr6RXoe
"My breasts still bleed and are bandaged every day."
Those are the words of Chloe Cole, a 21-year-old detransitioner who began a sex-change process at just 12 years old. She had a double mastectomy at 15. By 16, she knew she had made a mistake. For the past five years, she has been searching for medical care to help her heal, but that care simply did not exist. Until now.
Texas just changed that.
Following an investigation by Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas Children's Hospital will create the nation's first clinic dedicated to detransitioners. For Chloe and the hundreds of young Americans like her, it is long overdue.

Trump’s administration continues to lead the world in fighting for kids harmed by gender clinics.
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio just reached an agreement with the Department of Justice to provide detransition care and not perform sex-rejecting procedures on minors!
As part of the resolution, Cleveland Clinic has committed $2 million to provide restorative care for detransitioners, regardless of their insured status or ability to pay.

I am still locked out of my main X account (@KDansky), for which I pay for verification (the “blue check”). Being locked out is awful. 1/5
To end online exploitation, we must dismantle the pathways that facilitate it. Discord has repeatedly become a pipeline for grooming and coercion due to limited default safeguards for minor accounts. Read more below. 👇🤖

@geraldposner I think Americans are tired of the in-your-face parades, months, flags & targeting kids in the name of making them feel "comfortable". Kids don't need to learn about sexuality at a young age no matter what letter of the alphabet.
The Take It Down Act is now officially in effect, which makes it a federal crime to create or share nonconsensual sexual imagery, including AI-generated deepfakes.
Simply put, creating or sharing these images is not a harmless joke or prank. It's exploitation, and it's actually illegal!
If you are a victim, you are not alone, and you can find resources to report and remove your imagery here: https://t.co/V1GX9yEGOL
There's no such thing as autogynephilia. It is a contested idea for very good reasons. It never took off until Anne Lawrence (a man who pretends to be a woman) promoted it. He decided to undergo body modification surgeries after encountering the idea. That says a lot in itself. Blanchard reframes normal human envy as a sexual orientation like being homosexual or lesbian that arrives in adolescence. There's no distinction between adults and children and in my opinion it is an idea that grooms children into believing that they can change sex when they can't. It's dangerous nonsense.
@Real_YuanZhang I don’t think medicalizing is a tenable option for any human - exploring why they want to be the opposite sex is the only humane option. If we stop medicalizing, it will be harder to get “treatment” except overseas and fewer people will be harmed.
@Real_YuanZhang As you are aware, Dr. Paul McHugh shut down JHU, but the idea that one could be transgender and medicalizing allowed them to fit in or live festered in a few clinics. The debate has been going on, but only one side is getting press. The older debates need to be heard. 1/
I’m wondering why LGB kids need to have camps based on their SO? Shouldn’t they be focusing on more aspects of their character than SO? Disappointed in Toad&Co.
Why transgenderism is the most destructive cult ever invented:
1. The damage—self-mutilation—is permanent.
2. It encourages you to cut ties with family leaving you isolated from your primary support system.
3. Questioning the ideology or expressing doubts is strictly forbidden and discouraged.
4. It goes hand in hand with eating disorders as it encourages self-destruction.
5. It is often combined with substance abuse as a maladaptive coping mechanism.
6. It forces you into a lonely existence, leading you to turn against anyone who refuses to affirm the ideology.
7. You must constantly maintain a false reality, both to yourself and to the outside world.
8. It drives you into a continuous pursuit of surgeries and hormones, until you realize that biological sex cannot actually be changed.
9. Being divorced from objective reality creates severe, cascading problems in your daily life.
11. It traps you in social circles with other mentally unstable people.
12. Managing lifelong, permanent health problems results in massive financial costs.
Approximately 75% of boys and 70% of girls ages 13-17 report having seen pornography (Robb & Mann, 2023).
That's a lot of underage exposure to an industry that claims to be "adult" entertainment.
