Encouraging young people to celebrate their own identity can be difficult when social pressure and adoration come with simply being trans or LGBTQ. We fawn for a month in June and then dedicate October to queer history, taking more time for recognition of this community than even the veterans who fought and died for this country. Though pediatric clinics overseas are slowly walking back gender affirmation treatments that Americans are only just learning about, propaganda surrounding puberty blockers is everywhere in the USA.
The toughest place for a young adult to be is in the outgroup or being a loner. When a peer is lauded as stunning and brave for coming out as trans or gay, the desire to claim this for oneself can be tempting for the “not cool”. All the popularity and attention showered on a gender-non-conforming teen who claims to be transgender can be seen when a school elevates their social status by electing them prom king/queen. This is not only tempting to impressionable minds; it’s also alluring to those with an underdeveloped sense of self.
Lupron, a medication used to sterilize sex offenders, is being used off-label for gender transition because of its ability to block important hormones during development. European studies have linked the use of this medicine with premature osteoporosis, and vision loss. It can also lead to a permanently underdeveloped phallus in males who later choose not to continue puberty blockers. Detransitioners (those who stop the transition process) like Chloe Cole, Scott Nugent, Able Garcia, and Sinead Watson, openly discuss the ongoing complications from their experimental medical transition at school boards and medical boards. Effects such as persistent infections from a phalloplasty, non-existent sex drive due to hormones, lung damage from chest binders, or the inability to even feel their chest due to nerve damage from a double mastectomy often aren’t discussed with young audiences.
Many promises of rainbows and self-love exist in the world of transtrenders. When faced with the truth, many supporters of “trans-children” become visibly irate, angry, and some even attempt to silence people who have opposing opinions or stories of transgender tragedies. California bill SB107 makes California a sanctuary state for transgender care for all minors. Meanwhile, Florida’s Board of Medicine is quickly moving to outlaw gender affirming care and puberty blockers for minors who are not medically diagnosed with a measurable genetic condition. A person cannot tell if a child’s variant sexual behavior will result in them identifying as transgender in adulthood. A 2008 study by Wallien published in the Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry showed that more than 80% of these children simply grow up to be adult homosexuals. A 2021 survey of detransitioners by L. Littman shows that gender dysphoria disappears for 80% of children simply by naturally completing puberty.
