@smward @TheUSFWizard I liked the speakeasy in the speakeasy!

@EngineerUCF @AbzRitter @USFAthletics Have you retained a psychiatrist for your obsession?

[Richard Yost @RickyTheBull]

@smward I'd like to know the measurements from your seat back to the one in front (leg room). I don't want my knees wrapped around the head of the person in front of me.

@BigTimeBulls Doesn't NIL make college teams professional?

@JHendersonTampa @USFFootball @USFAthletics I wonder if we'll have a player stay all four years in this current portal era?

@CoachMcCordLAX Awesome! Welcome to The Bay!

I’m sure you all remember Avery Jackson, the “trans girl” who, at 9, was on the cover of National Geographic in January of 2017. Avery was given the gold standard in gender affirming care: he was chemically castrated and sterilized with “blockers” to hold off male puberty.

Now Avery has come out as “nonbinary” and chosen not to pursue transition, meaning that his puberty was blocked for no reason — but that’s not the worst part. He also identifies as asexual, meaning that he doesn’t experience sexual attraction.

This is undoubtedly the result of the medication used to delay male puberty. The president of WPATH, Dr, “Marci” Bowers, has said on camera that so-called puberty blockers, which are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, chemically castrate the young boys who take them as well, leaving them incapable of arousal or orgasm.

For adult sex offenders, the process is reversible. For boys like Avery, the effects are permanent. He will never feel sexual attraction, or any of the experiences that accompany it. He is also completely sterile; he will never father a child, and his own childhood was spent in the national spotlight. The blockers he was given have also stunted his physical and mental development in irreversible ways. We know from the experiences of other “trans” children that he will never sexually mature - neither physically nor emotionally. All of these things were stolen from him, and he has said that transitioning “ruined my life.”

It’s high time that we stop pretending that children can make an informed decision to transition or take blockers, even if their doctors are honest about the risks and consequences — which most are not.

Blockers are not a pause button. They are not reversible. The intellectual deficits they cause will never repair themselves, and neither will the damage done to the child victim’s body, or to their emotional intelligence and maturity. This will, of course, make it easier to push them into transitioning; ie, to sell them hormones and provide surgical alterations.

Parents like Avery’s, who try to monetize their child’s struggles with gender identity, belong in prison, not on television, and so do the doctors and politicians who were complicit in his chemical castration and sterilization.

The end. Thanks to @USFBaseball for a win on my last day. And thanks to everyone who made this wonderful career possible. It’s all I ever wanted to do. See you around @USFAthletics events in the future.

@Barstool_USF Baby step 1: set up NIL emergency fund.

[Richard Yost @RickyTheBull]

@CoachMcCordLAX @American_WLax We should be able to see how each participant votes each week.

[Richard Yost @RickyTheBull]

@BigTimeBulls Eddie V's has become our go-to place for special occasions. Much easier to get a table there than Bern's and they make a fuss for a special event like a birthday or anniversary. Ruth's Chris is a good choice, as well.

@smward @USFWLAX @UsfwlaxFans But...I was!
