In Oregon the law is that children as young as 15yo can get "gender affirming surgery", without parental consent, and the state will pay for it. In WA state the law is that children as young as 13yo can get "gender affirming surgery", without parental consent, and the parents insurance still has to pay for it. Granted, this does not mean that a doctor has done any of the surgeries in either state, but legally they could.

OMG!!! I’m a WA resident. I had NO IDEA it was this bad. Unfortunately, I work for a woke organization. I’m determined to stay employed, even if it means clamping my jaw shut so I can continue to support Chloe Cole, Sovereign Women, Karen, Exsulansic, KJK and others. Figure they can reach many more people than I anyway.

WA has some pretty sick stuff going on in terms of women and children. There are men housed in women's prisons. This includes a serial killer, man convicted of killing three women. There was legislation passed that essentially made it impossible for women's groups to find out how many men are housed in women's prisons in WA and the number of assaults they have committed against female inmates. Protecting rapists' privacy matters more than the women raped by them, apparently. There is a boy dominating girls cross-country running in the Puget Sound area. WA state does not even require males to be on wrong sex hormones or puberty blockers to compete "as a female". Inslee just released some of the state's worst sex offenders, including pedophiles. None were released into the area he lives, of course. There are no laws against female genital mutilation in WA. Medical insurance in WA will pay for a man who claims to be a woman to get laser hair removal, but not for a woman with hirsutism as a result of PCOS. These are just some of the reasons I'm not voting for Inslee again.

I've lived in Canada for almost 20 years but still vote in WA elections, I'm definitely taking this under consideration. I'm no fan of Pramila "I have a trans 'daughter' so fuck the rights of real women" Jayapal either, even though all of my idiot woke friends love her.

Jayapal is likely the greatest pusher of "trans rights" in all of Congress. Sadly, any opposition to her, in terms of someone running against her, has been minimal, and weak opponents. She speaks a good game on women in some regards, but she has also done plenty to hurt them, and not just with the trans malarkey. Katherine Clark is another congress member, not from WA state, with a son that claims to be a daughter. He is a member of Antifa and was recently arrested for assault on a police officer. Neither of their sons seems to be making the slightest effort with their woman shtick. Neither comes remotely close to passing, They are just goong to scare the heck out of any woman that has the misfortune to be in the restroom with them at the same time.

One thing that seems to be glaringly apparent to me lately about policies being pushed by the Democrats is that they may take steps to help women and girls after they are raped, but will not take steps to prevent rape. In fact, they push for legislation that increases the likelihood of rapes occuring. Again, this is not simply in regards to the trans malarkey either. Never have I seen a time when there was a greater push to create more crime victims, less regard for crime victims, and more sympathy for criminals, than now.

That’s a great point. I’ve noticed the same in other woke parties from other countries. I think it’s because if there are victims, they get to virtue signal their “kindness”. Basically, they get to tell the public how generous they are towards oppressed groups, and use that to gain votes. But if their policies stop crimes from happening in the first place, hence fewer women would fall victim to rape and violence, they would have nothing to virtue signal about.

Even if I set aside my cynicism, I think modern leftist ideology isn’t compatible with common sense approaches to stopping crime. For instance, it’s common sense to separate males from females in spaces like change rooms, but in order to see the benefit of that, you’d have to first admit that males are far more likely to commit violent acts than females. But leftists don’t want to recognize that reality, which has a biological basis that cannot be completely reversed by socialization (most other male mammals also have a higher propensity for violent aggression). They don’t want to wake up from their fantasy that everyone is the same, that we have no differences in behavior and abilities.

How many "Gender Affirming" surgeons do you suppose are bothered by any kind of ethics? I think we both know that multiple surgeries have been completed under the circumstances you just outlined here.

Expand full comment

If a surgeon has regard for ethics that surgeon is not doing "gender affirming" surgeries for any patient at any age. The only doctors that do those procedures likely got their medical degrees in Palau.*

*There are no medical schools in Palau.

Oh yes. I'm listening that twisted program now. Total baloney. Total nonsense.The New Yorker, along with Vanity Fair and Vogue, are propaganda central for "trans" gibberish.

Don’t forget about the Joanna Olson-Kennedy study that featured multiple girls aged 13 in the post-surgical cohort.

I had forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me.

And so the question remains: how do so-called journalists not know about this? Are they liars, fools or both?

“It does not affirm anything except death.” 💯 It’s a death cult.

I just don‘t understand how med profs, who are very well aware of how teens live in the moment and can‘t yet understand longterm consequences of their decisions, can give them an ok for these surgeries!!? It should also be obvious by now that 99% have never experienced g dysphoria & that their „transsymptoms“ started after they had made new friends who were „trans“ or „non binary“... HOW is that constantly ignored by professionals? By people who present themelves as morally superior and well educated😳... And these are our doc‘s we have to consult when we have medical issues?! No thanks....

Does anyone have stats on how many TRAs have actually experienced puberty blockers? Or are the majority just fully grown men? I believe the latter. So in the future kids who have gone through will be "the billboard" for not doing this.☹

Expand full comment

I've only heard of a few of the younger TRAs (perhaps it's unfair to classify them as such, IDK) who are below the age of 25 who were put on GnRH agonists before cross-sex hormones. I think that the creepy older men who constitute much of the TRA scene put a *great* deal of faith in the ability of these drugs to prevent virilization in natal males - and it doesn't seem to me to be all that well placed. It would appear to be a real crap shoot with some truly horrifying side-effects. And that's just the few we know about from a relatively short time frame...

I've only heard from adult males who say they "wish" they had been given puberty blockers. So I tell them the health effects and that gives them pause. They want to look more like women but the cancer risk and especially the damage to their libido scares them. I wonder if this means they won't push for it for kids but you never know with men. It's all about them all the time.

Oh they're not in the (extremely lucrative)business of normalising the butchery of children at all, are they?

I have to say it.

What the hell is wrong with so many fucking parents?!!!

I hope you cover this disingenuous spin on "boilerplate language" concerning legislation designed to allow children to reach adulthood without having chemically or surgically sterilized themselves! One has to wonder how much $$$ has changed hands for someone to oppose leaving kids the hell alone day after day after day as a filibuster.

The collective net worth of the troon and troon-friendlly billionaires (Pritzker, Stryker, Rothblatt) is a staggering $50 billion. That's a lot of moola to use to capture all sorts of institutions including the highest levels of the US government. I refer you to Jennifer Bilek's 11th Hour Blog.

Yeah, it's an invaluable resource.

You can't tell me that a bill which proposes to leave trans ideating kids alone until after their 18th birthdays is worth filibustering against for weeks/months on end for a woman who truly considers herself to be a "progressive". Unless, of course she has a glaring COI like a close relative who IDs as a "trans child" she should have disclosed about.

Yes. That woman is a real piece of work.

I wonder who they will ever be able to be considered adult given how their prefrontal cortex was not allowed to grow. The experimental nature of gender bullshit could mean a future of a strain on our healthcare system and a generation with compromised mental capacities.

The problem with doing your research is that you might stumble across something that doesn't back up your non existent argument.

It's much easier to stick your fingers in your ears and repeat 'not happening' until us sane folk are sick of hearing it,

Expand full comment

Absolutely. Thing is, though, the dangers of these drugs and procedures are written on the hospital websites. The risks are down-played but they're there, in plain sight. Despite the hospitals' small concessions to reality, the TRAs like Gessen, refuse to acknowledge them.

Critical thinking is something these liers don't understand or don't want to because they're addicted to wokeness and the $$$$! These two journalists are a joke pretending to be so kind whilst underage kids swallow this crap and ruin their lives! Parents, what parents? The governments, medical professions and others want to erase parents and women whist children become lab rats with shortened, over medicated lives complete with complications & regret! Thank God for detransitioners who speak out and fight like Chloe Cole.

Have you heard that Abigail Shrier was granted access to the Twitter files? If you can contact her you should ask if she has any information about the people behind your permanent ban on Twitter. I have very little doubt that after an analysis of the Twitter files you are going to find massive suppression of any sort of GC content, hashtags, accounts, or events. I would also bet you're going to find massive promotion of all things Trans in the algorithm and via human decision making.

Them: “gender affirming” surgeries aren’t happening in children

Also them: the “far right” are abusing children by denying them “lifesaving” surgeries!

So which is it? If it’s not happening, they should have no problems with red states banning it, right? They can’t even keep their narrative consistent. How can they expect anyone to believe them?

Did all of these people forget child/teen development?

Also, today, 3/12/23, at 1:30 pm, gaysagainstgroomers are protesting in St. Louis at the 'gender' center Jamie Reed, the whistleblower, recently called out for its practices re so-called affirming care BS. I don't know if it will be livestreamed or not--just FYI.
