Trangenderists are promoting absurd ideas
Ifind it interesting that Pam Mellskog mentions the clothing that the girl, Joe, chose to wear, as a sign of her having supposedly “become male.” I would like anyone to credibly explain how clothing choices can transform a person’s biology from one sex to the other. Any high school biology teacher could easily debunk this absurd, regressive, sex-stereotyped idea. I thought we were past forcing children into restrictive sex roles, telling girls they are only allowed to wear dresses, or boys that they may only wear pants, and yet I see trangenderists promoting this backward, right-wing ideology as if it’s somehow new and progressive.
Butch lesbians have never had any interest in wearing clothing designed “for women,” and yet they are completely female and proud to be so. How does this fit in with transgenderism? There are plenty of male drag queens who are proud to be male and are not confused about their bodies despite wearing ballgowns and high heels. Do these people not exist?
And why is it acceptable to turn children into lifelong medical patients when they are too young to understand or consent to the life-altering and potentially lifethreatening medical procedures they are being given (hormone use is linked to increased risk of infertility, hypertension, osteoporosis, and cancer, among others)?
Only adults aged 18 and over should be allowed to access “gender-affirming care.” So-called puberty blockers are not FDA-APproved for use in children, and their use is quite literally a moneymaking medical experiment which will undoubtedly result in a wave of malpractice lawsuits once many of the children decide that they are not actually transgender after all, as most children eventually do. Many of these kids will, according to 11 studies that have been done, discover that they are actually gay or lesbian, once they do some more growing up. “Transing” children is arguably the new conversion therapy for gay kids who don’t fit into the rigid sex-role stereotypes that adults try to squeeze them into.
The idea that co-ed bathrooms are not dangerous to women and girls is proven false. A few recent news items: In Loudoun County, Virginia, a high school boy who was wearing a skirt was accused of sexually assaulted a girl in the girls’ bathroom at their school. The school had recently adopted a co-ed bathroom policy. Did the assault prompt the school district to reverse its dangerous policy or take steps to protect other female students? No. The young man was transferred to a second school, where he was accused of sexually assaulting another girl. The first girl’s dad thought the boy was on house arrest.
A man exposed himself to women and a 6-year-old girl at Wi Spa in Los Angeles, California. The man entered the women-only section of the spa and then claimed to be a “pre-op trans woman” when questioned. The girl’s mother claims that police she spoke to told her that it was her own fault for bringing the child to a spa, though the man was ultimately charged with a crime.
A man who calls himself Katie sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in a supermarket bathroom in Kirkcaldy, U.K. He was given a slap on the wrist as punishment and released back into the community almost immediately, with free access to other children. This was at least Mr. Dolatowski’s second sexual assault on a child, as he had, just the month previous, been caught filming a 12-year-old child in a different supermarket bathroom. Why is this violent offender not in prison for his crimes against children? It’s anyone’s guess.
Sexual assaults have already occurred in the prisons in California and the U.K. where male prisoners have been allowed to “identify into” women’s prisons. In the UK, according to The Telegraph, female inmates are also being threatened with additional jail time if they refuse to refer to these males as “she/her.” The prisons’ policies allow any male to transfer to a women’s prison if he demands it, including convicted sex offenders and other violent offenders. How is this not a violation of women’s basic human rights?
