Although the latest medical development is celebrated by PinkNews, Duncan has a different reaction.
Reproductive technology and genetic engineering will “liberate” us from our biological constraints.
According to Dr Narendra Kaushik, who provides “gender-affirming” care and surgeries in India for Transgender patients, he now wants to be the first to transplant a uterus into a transgender woman (biological male).
"This is the future. We cannot predict exactly when this will happen but it will happen very soon.
"We have our plans and we are very very optimistic about this."
Apparently business is booming. With 20 percent of his patients coming from overseas. And soon he will try this on one of his male patients.
Someone on Twitter commented:
But I thought being a woman had nothing to do with biology?
The Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act (VCAP) would prohibit the administering of medical procedures to alter otherwise physically healthy minor’s gender [sex] or delay puberty, with certain exceptions.
VCAP was passed by the Alabama legislature and signed by Gov. Kay Ivey in early April, 2022.
SB 184 would make it a Class C felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, for a doctor to prescribe puberty blockers and hormones to transgender youth under the age of 19. The bill also bans school officials from withholding information about a student’s gender identity from parents.
This is a follow up post to a previous one where I questioned our current Assistant Secretary of Health, Transwoman Dr Rachel Levine. Read this first, if you haven’t already:
Many doctors and clinicians in Europe disagree with Dr. Levine. Below is a Swedish documentary on the hazards of hormone therapy & puberty blockers. It’s about injured children and withheld information.
And why the home of the Nobel Prize in medicine, Karolinska Univ. Hospital, did an about face on prescribing hormones & puberty blockers to children and adolescents.
The story follows the parent of a daughter who announced when she was 10 that “she is really a he.” And that she wanted to be called Leo.
He was little, only 10, and telling us how he perceived himself. Our first thought was just to affirm our child. If our child feels this way then of course we should affirm it. And just listen to him and follow his cues. - "Natalie" Leo's Mother
Social Transitioning began with pronouns and name change. Combined with supportive parents and supportive school. But Leo’s mental health worsened. So they sought help at Astrid Lindgren’s Children’s Hospital and were told:
"the earlier you stop puberty, the better."
Leo was given puberty blockers at 11 years old.
“Natalie” explains, “I trusted them when they said, ‘This will help your child.'”
It didn’t.
You will hear about doctors who “left the field” because they couldn’t in good conscience experiment on children.
You will hear from detransitioners, those who regretted their decisions to “change” their gender.
You will hear about bureaucratic blame shifting. And perhaps medical malpractice.
Looking back, I feel such anger. Of course anger at the professionals we trusted. But also at myself. I'm supposed to protect my child, but I haven't done that. - "Natalie" Leo's Mother
In May of 2021 the Karolinska Institute, the same institute that awards the Nobel Prize in Medicine, advised its hospital to stop hormone treatments and surgery for young people under 18!
This stance is precisely what some of our State Legislators are considering. Alabama, most conspicuously. See my next post.
