Following the “Science” on Gender

Original Article

Around the world, “trans” ideology has collapsed and medical professionals are stepping back from chemical and surgical interventions on young people. This is obviously a good thing, in my opinion, but there is much gnashing of teeth on the Left. The New York Times runs a piece by a liberal that focuses on how the purported scientific consensus on behalf of child mutilation fell apart: American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts.

Medical professionals are stepping back but the real question is why in the hell did they ever step forward? The whole idea is ridiculous and anti-life.

In their heart-of-hearts, the ones who convinced themselves that doing the impossible--changing one's sex--was possible ... allowed politics and mindless ideology to rule their reprobate minds. But the prospect of being sued into penury changes things. Several decades ago, a rough-hewn junkyard (literally) philosopher named Moses would occasionally call a local radio station, WFLA, and talk to host Mark Larsen. Moses was a man of faith. His philosophy was simple: "Prayer and ass whuppin' change things." And getting one's ass sued off if one really messes up. A litlgator with a good case and a good cause can be an alligator.

So glad to see John Hinderaker write on this travesty. He is the only one I read at PJM. The sciene has always said there were two sexes - male and female. Based upon chromosomes, hot "feelings". The lawsuits apparently brought the insanity down. Now the liberal Dems must let it go.

The SCIENCE is that there are only two sexes. Every single cell in a human body is imprinted from birth with either male chromosomes or female chromosomes. Nothing can EVER modify that. Some mentally deranged people, perhaps one in 30,000 IMAGINES in their derangement that they are the sex opposite of the one that they actually ARE. This mental illness should not be pandered to by mutilating and destroying the body of the person with a dysfunctional mind, but by trying to correct the mental dysfunction. And this hideous, unethical 'experiment' on humans has resulted is a substantial number of them being so violently mentally ill that they go out and murder large numbers of innocent people. Apparently the 'crimes' of these innocents is that "someone" has not "properly" respected the mental derangement, so these innocents are selected to die as proxies for some real or imagined 'disrespect'. The leftist and Democrat POLITICAL pathology which says that this mental illness should be catered to for political gain seems to be rooted in the leftist concept of intentionally destroying the family structure, as a way to demoralize and control people for the Democrat/leftist POLITICAL purposes. This 'transgender' move is scientifically fraudulent, morally abhorrent, very harmful to the sufferer of the mental derangement and all too often results in mass murder. Democrats/Leftists have selected this as another pathological way to harm people while loudly proclaiming that they are "saving them". One of my most fervent hopes is that we may be protected from those hideous people who have an unending internal drive to "help us"......to death, literally.

I agree with the author that doctors are pulling back because of lawsuits and I think there will be many more such suits in the future. As for the science - there are two sexes male and female and that's it.

#8 is right about about lawsuits. After that recent big judgement, the trial lawyers smell blood in the water and starting to circle. There are probably a lot of angry and dismayed parents that were talked into the surgery and now regret it. Look for the first attorney ads promising big money to victims of medical malpractice.

#10- Don't forget the Angry and Heartbroken parents who were FORCED into agreeing to this by their Leftist State Government, under threat that their child would be taken away- permanently. As #9 says- Follow the Money...... Other People's Money, of course. Adding on to #5.... I wonder..... Is there a driving force buried in the text of the ObomaCare laws? I am thinking of the feature where if someone is unhappy with their doctor, they can 'report' them, and that causes all kinds of trouble for the doctor, who may lose his or her medical license -that they worked for DECADES to earn- at the whim of a brainwashed child, a leftist parent, and a couple of leftist 'activist' Bureaucrats. Anyone know what evil may be lurking in the bowels of the Obamacare regulations?

The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting. It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024. That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful,

One of President Trump's key priorities for his second term was rebuilding and re-arming our military, including making sure we have the best, most modern aircraft in the world. That may well be happening now, and in record time. The United States Air Force's first 6th-generation fighter, the F-47, is reportedly on track for a 2028 test flight. That's remarkably fast for a concept-to-cockpit development these days. The advanced F-47 sixth-generation fighter remains on track to fly in the next two years, the senior Air Force acquisition officer overseeing the program said Feb. 25, as the service continues on its ambitious schedule to debut the air superiority-focused fighter by 2028

North Korea hacked into the computers of a Hollywood studio in 2014, and the company's former executive now blames himself—or his own childhood—for okaying a movie that angered the dictator in Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un. "Curiously, I never really got angry at the North Koreans, on the assumption that if you kick the hornet's nest and get stung, you can't really blame the hornets," the former CEO of Sony Entertainment, Michael Lynton, writes in an excerpt that appeared in the Wall Street Journal of his new book, From Mistakes to Meaning: Owning Your Past So It Doesn't Own You.

Michael Lynton was the CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment when it greenlit Seth Rogen’s film The Interview. You’ve most likely never seen it because it displeased the Supreme (Communist) Leader of North Korea and led to North Korea’s hack of the company’s emails, confidential scripts, and his family’s personal information. Sony limited distribution of the film in order to mitigate the damage. The Wall Street Journal published an excerpt of Lynton’s memoir in its February 21 Review section. In the excerpt Lynton blames the malformation of his character for what he deems a monumental corporate mistake. I was disgusted to read President Obama’s concurrence in Lynton’s assessment:

His referring to Justin Trudeau as “Governor” and his speculating on incorporating Canada as the 51st state cost us a Conservative administration, as Canadians fell for Liberal Mark Carney’s shameful rhetoric respecting the sanctity of Canadian nationhood. Carney, like the electorate, conveniently forgot that, according to his predecessor’s New York Times op-ed, Canada is the first post-national state with no core identity. No matter.

The author is Jacob Siegel, a journalist for the Tablet. To summarize: shocked by the arrival of Donald Trump in 2016, American government officials, the media, and the technology giants created a system of censoring the public, spying on other opponents, and planting false stories. The media was complicit and will never fully recover. Trump’s rise, Siegel writes, “meant that politics had become war, as it is in many parts of the world,

Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds. Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.
