Yes, I think that once an adult male has reached the age of majority, as long as he’s not hurting or violating the rights of others, he has the right to seek whatever medical intervention he likes. But is it a doctor’s obligation to oblige him? Of course not. A medical professional is not a slave to the whims of others. Unfortunately, there are plenty of mercenary surgeons who are happy to make a living castrating and mutilating the genitals of people of both sexes, especially young people who have no clue what they’re getting into. These ghoulish so-called doctors are the ones I would like to see banned from touching the bodies of minors, who are too young to give informed consent.
I share your hope that this toxic, pseudoscientific social contagion will burn itself out sooner than later, and I support with my dollars, time and energy the efforts of gender critical feminists, lesbians, gay men and other allies, such as detransitioners who risk harassment and death threats in order to tell the truth about what transgender surgeries, puberty blockers and cross sex hormones have done to their bodies.
However, I stand by my view that an adult of whatever persuasion has the right to modify his body as long as he is not violating the rights and privacy of others. I don’t have to like it, but as a woman over the age of 70 who has lived in the world as a lesbian for over 50 years, I don’t believe in passing laws that would prevent specific categories of adults from making personal choices that affect their bodies simply because other people are offended by them.
I’m vehemently opposed to the transitioning of minors, and consider it child abuse. Transgender ideology should not be taught in schools. But adults who are minding their own business should be left to live their lives in peace without harassment. This would not constitute a “unique” special carve-out in the law, simply an addition to the anti-discrimination laws that already exist.
That’s my opinion, which of course you have the right to disagree with.
I fear that medical professionals have become slaves to the whims of others. Your implication that financial corruption plays a role, sadly, is not without precedent. We remember the oxycodone crisis.
The newsletter is correct in observing that the trans cult is crumbling.
You're right that trans ideology has tainted the integrity of many surgeons, psychologists, endocrinologists, judges, teachers, and politicians. But I see them more as opportunists than slaves, since there are plenty of medical professionals who happily perform these surgeries without being pressured. Indeed, business is booming and they become celebrities in the process. It's not so much political pressure as it is status seeking and getting rich quick. Disgusting, isn't it?
I compare their behavior to that of the Front Line Covid Critical Care (FLCCC) physicians, e.g. Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik, who were willing to lose major hospital appointments and their medical licenses in order to save their patients' lives rather than kowtow to the catastrophic policies of the CDC.
I hope you're right that the trans cult is crumbling, but it's not going quietly. The trans activists' strategy is to litigate everything, including Trump's entire policy shift, out of existence if they can.
Montana is currently considering a bill that would require insurance companies to pay for medical revisions of botched surgeries for detransitioners. A similar bill failed in Texas in 2023.
