TransMission: What’s the Rush to Reassign Gender?

This is a followup post to the Chloe Cole piece from yesterday.

Below is a fine documentary that hits most of the bases I’ve covered in the last two years on this blog. And it’s still running on YouTube! You’ll find Parents, Gay Rights Activists, Radical Feminists, Doctors, Psychiatrists etc…raising the alarm.

It finishes with a suggestive answer to the question, how and when will this end?

We’re Not Going Away: My Response to the New York Times Hit Piece

Our numbers will soon be too large for the New York Times to dismiss as a “few stories of regret.”

So says Detransitioner Chloe Cole in her response to a recent NY Times article about her.

Yesterday, New York Times reporter Maggie Astor published a hit piece about me in an attempt to undermine my story and the testimonies of other detransitioners. Now that I’ve had some time to process everything more completely, I’d like to address some of the inaccuracies and falsehoods that Astor wrote about me—beginning with the disingenuous title, “How a Few Stories of Regret Fuel the Push to Restrict Gender Transition Care.” 

I take issue with Astor’s flagrant use of the word “regret,” which implies a benign mistake like a bad tattoo—something I wasn’t even allowed to get until I turned 18 last year. No, I was a child when I was misinformed and misled by adults, who convinced me to permanently alter my body. 

I learned through social media when I was 11 about boys and girls being trapped in the “wrong body”—an impossibility that should never have been “affirmed” by doctors. I was told by health professionals whom I trusted that I had a medical condition that required medical treatment. Not only that, but my parents were emotionally manipulated by being presented with a false dilemma—“would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?”—despite the fact that suicidality is routinely overexaggerated in trans-identified youth.

Astor relies on the euphemism “transition care” when she means “chemical and surgical sex change services.” This is neither medically necessary nor lifesaving, but rather elective, cosmetic, and experimental.

Love Refuses To Affirm Confusion

White Robes Not Enough

“Governments are called upon to protect citizens from harmful practices in all other industries; we don’t carve out exceptions for a profession just because its members wear white robes.”

Leor Sapir responds to a gender-affirming pediatrician and dad who derides recent legislative restrictions on pediatric sex changes.
