I always appreciate when we just say the words, like Lupron for instance. It’s not a “puberty blocker” or a “pause to think.” It’s a powerful medication called Lupron, used for serious medical conditions such as cancer and endometriosis. I took it as part of the IVF protocol and it’s awful. Awful. Precocious puberty is a medical problem, and may require such a drug after careful evaluation of the physical issues. A kid liking stereotypically girl/boy things is not a medical problem. Talk about discriminating against your kid. You like unicorns? Damn son you must actually be a girl! To the cancer meds! 😡
Mind boggling that our sick culture needs a parental anti-discrimination statement. And yet, here we are in 2026 still grappling with a heinous ideology that hijacks the health and potential of vulnerable others, including my son. The lack of outrage by others prompts my own outrage. Thank you to the author for this articulate post that cuts through the tsunami of idiocy, indifference, and opportunism that obfuscates the truth of every sentence in this essay.
Very well done.
