Before 2017, we already knew that over 10,000 girls had been severely harmed by puberty blockers. Malformed jaws & breaking brittle bones. The harm is lifelong, not reversible.

The thing they donโt tell you about testosterone is that a womanโs throat isnโt big enough to accommodate the growth of vocal cords. So speaking hurts. I try not to speak too much.
@JanPitman6232@CityNewsKIT No one said anything political about it, except for you. People of all politics are allowed to care & offer condolences. That isn't political. Please don't let political differences cause you to lose sight of our shared humanity.
โI'm a 23 year-old gay man who's never had an orgasm.โ
Sen. Wiener, a leading advocate for sex rejection procedures, comes face to face w/the human cost.
Iโve never seen him squirm like this.
It took immense courage for @JonniSkinner to be public about this issue. ๐ โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
@wesyang@JonniSkinner Unfortunately, I don't think he cares about Jonni. He just knows that other people will & that will impact himself. He finds a way to justify the sacrifice of kids to his cause.
"The result is I'm a 23-year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in."
Jonni Skinner tells the California legislature's judiciary committee how he was puberty blocked, dosed with estrogen and rendered anorgasmic as a minor by gender clinicians that never inquired into the source of his gender confusion as a child and instead put him on a pipeline to a lifetime of medicalization.
Full text of his comments below:
"When I was young, I was a feminine child, and I discovered trans influencers online. They said: 'Change your body and your life gets better. Don't and it gets worse.'
Or, as my doctors told my mom, I would commit suicide.
The medical and mental health providers didn't bother to ask why I felt the way I did. They poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my puberty and messing with my development. The result is I'm a 23 year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in.
I was rendered anorgasmic because once you say you could be trans, that's a full stop -- no exploration as to why is allowed, even if you are struggling.
The former president of WPATH, Dr Marcy Bowers, the California surgeon who had performed the surgery for Jazz Jennings at 17, admitted on video that puberty blockers, followed by cross sex hormones, results in no orgasms and stunted genitals. SB, 934 guarantees that more people will end up like me, the walking but wounded.
I could have been spared all of this, if any of my therapists would have explored why I felt dysphoric. But they never did. They only led me to hate my body more.
The Supreme Court just ruled in a rare bipartisan decision that laws like this are unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. This bill is an attempted workaround that will be used to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my sexual function as is the same for many others. So today, I ask you to extend some empathy to survivors like me and vote no for this bill."
NEW: Man who identifies as a woman who was convicted of stabbing his parents and dog to death is being sued for s*xually assaulting a woman in prison.
Andrew (Andrea) Balcer was sentenced to 40 years for murder and was placed in a women's correctional facility because he claimed to be a woman.
According to court documents, inmate Katie Mountain is accusing Blacer of threatening to r*pe and impregnate her.
She accuses Balcer of trapping her in a bathroom and forcibly kissing her.
"Don't worry, if you don't wake up, it's because I smothered you with a pillow," Blacer allegedly said, according to CBS13.
The woman says she was transferred to segregation and denied medication after she refused to bunk with Balcer and says she no longer qualifies for early release because of the incident.
@ThomasWillett9 Yeah, instead they place people with zero understanding of child/teen development, autism, trauma, actual homophobia, science, evidence based care & irresponsibly, irreversibly harm young people with teen angst because they think ideology is evidence based.
@Asher73979290@PritaPrimeAVP@DrKarlynB That doesn't mean he doesn't actually mean it. Many comedy shows are a mixture of jokes & talks about their views. People who have violent thoughts will find them to be funny jokes. I can't claim to know what actually goes on in this man's brain. I'm free to be cautious of him.
@_lifeinpixels@PritaPrimeAVP@DrKarlynB But, sure, people can joke about whatever they want. And if it's sick & sociopathic, I can say my opinion about it also. Like I am now. That's all I'm doing.
@_lifeinpixels@PritaPrimeAVP@DrKarlynB How is it a funny joke to say, "Let's start killing kids until women do what we want"? I don't really see a joke there. What's the funny part? What if a woman said "Let's just start cutting off ๐ until men do what we want". Would that also be a funny joke to you? To me it's not.
@Asher73979290@PritaPrimeAVP@DrKarlynB I understand, but it's actually happening because many trans identified men like him are inciting violence online.
@_lifeinpixels@PritaPrimeAVP@DrKarlynB It's not a joke because kids are actually being killed, and it's not funny that kids are actually being killed. And the families of the murdered children are still receiving death threats.
