SCOTUS rules on TN's stance on gender mutilation: Dem's heads explode

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court delivered a significant ruling upholding Tennessee’s prohibition on so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The decision, a 6-3 ruling, represents a pivotal moment in the ongoing national debate over the balance between individual rights, parental authority, and the state’s role in safeguarding vulnerable populations, in this case, children.

The Court’s decision reinforces Tennessee’s ability to enact laws protecting minors from medical interventions such as puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgical procedures, which remain the subject of intense medical and ethical scrutiny. 

At its core, the ruling hinges on the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, with the Court concluding that Tennessee’s law does not impermissibly discriminate based on sex or gender identity. Instead, the state’s restrictions are grounded in a legitimate interest: shielding children from their parents and the potential risks associated with these treatments.

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts articulated the Court’s reasoning with precision, emphasizing that the law “does not classify on any bases that warrant heightened review” and “incorporates two classifications: one based on age…and another based on medical use.” 

The Court rejected the plaintiffs’ argument that any statutory reference to sex automatically triggers heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause. As Roberts noted, “This Court has never suggested that mere reference to sex is sufficient to trigger heightened scrutiny.” This clarity underscores a critical point: not every law touching on sex or gender demands the judiciary’s most exacting review.

The majority opinion further clarified that “some medical treatments and procedures are uniquely bound up in sex.” Citing FDA guidance, Roberts pointed out that “[r]esearch has shown that biological differences between men and women…may contribute to variations seen in the safety and efficacy of drugs.” Because Tennessee’s law applies uniformly to all minors, regardless of sex, the Court found no evidence of discriminatory intent or effect.

A key aspect of the ruling addressed the plaintiffs’ contention that the law disproportionately impacts transgender individuals, who are the primary seekers of “gender-affirming” treatments. Roberts countered this claim, explaining that the law targets the medical diagnosis: gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence, rather than transgender status itself. “Although only transgender individuals seek treatment for gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, and gender incongruence, just as only biological women can become pregnant, there is a ‘lack of identity’ between transgender status and the excluded medical diagnoses,” he wrote. 

This distinction is critical, as it situates the law within the state’s broader authority to regulate medical interventions for minors, rather than as an attack on a protected class.

The ruling arrives against a backdrop of fierce cultural and political division. Advocates for “gender-affirming care” argue that these treatments are essential for the mental health and well-being of transgender youth, often citing unsubstantiated claims that withholding such interventions could lead to severe psychological harm, including suicide. 

Yet, the Court’s decision reflects a growing skepticism, particularly in light of emerging evidence from European nations. Countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Sweden have begun to question the efficacy and safety of these treatments, with some moving away from the “gender-affirming” model in favor of more cautious, evidence-based approaches. Studies from these nations have raised concerns about the long-term consequences of puberty blockers and hormone therapies, prompting a reevaluation of protocols for treating minors with gender dysphoria.

For critics of Tennessee’s law, the ruling may be seen as a setback for individual autonomy and progressive medical frameworks. They argue that such restrictions undermine the ability of transgender youth and their families to access care they deem necessary. Conversely, supporters of the decision view it as a victory for child protection, emphasizing the state’s responsibility to safeguard minors from irreversible medical decisions amid evolving scientific understanding. 

The debate is further complicated by reports that some medical professionals have pressured parents with dire warnings about the risks of refusing these treatments, a practice that raises ethical questions about informed consent.

From a constitutional perspective, the ruling underscores the judiciary’s deference to state legislatures in matters of public health and child welfare, provided those laws do not violate fundamental rights. By framing Tennessee’s law as a neutral regulation based on age and medical purpose, the Court avoided wading into the broader cultural wars over gender identity. Yet, the decision is likely to fuel further litigation, as other states with similar laws face challenges in federal courts.

The implications of this ruling extend beyond Tennessee, touching on the delicate interplay between individual rights, parental authority, and state power. As the science surrounding “gender-affirming care” continues to evolve, so too will the legal and ethical questions at the heart of this debate. 

For now, the Supreme Court has spoken, affirming that states may act to protect minors from treatments whose long-term effects remain uncertain. Whether this decision will serve as a model for other jurisdictions or ignite further contention remains to be seen. Let's hope it does.

Biden's Dept. of Veterans Affairs provided genital mutilation/transgender procedures despite ban as per documents

For years, the Department of Veterans Affairs thumbed its nose at a rule banning “gender alterations,” turning itself into a one-stop shop for vets looking to play dress-up as the opposite sex. 

Internal documents spill the beans: the VA—yes, the same outfit fitting war heroes with prosthetic limbs—was handing out prosthetic peckers dubbed “3-in-1 (pee/pack/play),” fake boobs, chest binders, wigs, and even dilators for artificial vajayjays.

Federal regulations say “gender alterations” are off-limits for VA medical services. But the VA played word games, claiming that only meant the slice-and-dice surgeries. “Since 2011, VA has provided all medically necessary transition-related care for transgender and gender diverse Veterans except surgeries,” one document brags. Leave it to bureaucrats to dodge a rule by splitting hairs finer than a frog’s butt.

Then the Biden crew took it up a notch, stretching “medically necessary” like a cheap rubber band. Back in 2020, a doctor said hair removal was just cosmetic—no dice. Fast forward to Biden’s watch, and they’re teaching VA staff how to farm out laser jobs to zap hair off a trans veteran’s “face/neck, back, chest, abdomen, or genitalia,” billing it under a sneaky “unlisted procedure code for skin, mucous membrane, and subcutaneous tissue.” 

Slick move, huh?

It gets weirder. The VA even roped in “parking attendants or valets, maintenance staff, [and] housekeepers” for a PowerPoint pep talk, making them “Articulate the key elements of VHA’s Directive on Providing Health Care for Transgender and Intersex Veterans” and coaching them to ask vets, “Hey, what name, gender, and pronoun do you vibe with?”—all so they could bunk them in hospital rooms with whoever matched their fantasy gender.

Cue the Trump administration on Monday, riding in with an executive order titled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. They’re slamming the brakes on “medical treatments for gender dysphoria,” except for vets already mid-transition at the VA. Before that, Biden’s squad went hog-wild expanding the trans buffet—hormones, voice lessons, egg-and-sperm storage, you name it.

Biden-era papers even teased changing the rules to green-light surgeries, but whined it’d take years. One gem, “Gender-Affirming Care at VA: Resources for Providers,” admits, “While VA cannot provide gender-affirming surgeries at this time,” they’d still slap a gender dysphoria label on veterans, juice ‘em up with hormones, train their vocal cords, yank their body hair, and pen love letters to outside surgeons begging for the chop. 

An April 2024 slide from an “LGBTQ+ Veterans Care Coordinator” adds they’d cover “medically necessary post-operative and long-term care following gender-affirming surgery”—think revision cuts or snipping nuts if the hormone cocktail went sideways.

VA staff got crash courses on “diagnosing gender dysphoria” and “assessment of readiness and consent for hormone therapy,” with tricks to book a “transgender and gender diverse national e-consult” linking local docs to trans “expert hub teams” in Minneapolis and Tucson. One catch: the e-consult screen flashes a warning that “for individuals still active in the military (e.g., Guard, Reserves, Active Duty) transgender identity can be grounds for discharge and their VA medical records are accessible by the military.” 

Whoops.

The VA—whose motto, straight from Abe Lincoln, is “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan”—even rolled out a “Gender-Affirming Program with Speech (GAPS).” That’s “4-8 individual sessions with a speech-language pathologist” to help dudes sound like dames, “achieving your authentic and affirming voice,” plus tips to keep their laughs, coughs, and sneezes from blowing their cover. Tax dollars hard at work.

They even cranked out form letters to nudge outside docs into doing genital jobs, like this cookie-cutter pitch: “I support (honorific) XXXX’s decision to undergo genital surgery, and I am available for coordination of care.” Just fill in the blank and sign. Another version gushes, “We are of the opinion that [veteran] meets all of the criteria for a vaginoplasty, as set forth in the WPATH Standards of Care, Version 7.” Oh, and veterans could tweak the “birth sex” field on their records too, because “despite the medical implications…this is the Veteran’s right.” Sure, why not?

Monday, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins dropped the hammer, saying all this nonsense is toast. “I mean no disrespect to anyone, but VA should not be focused on helping Veterans attempt to change their sex,” he said. “The vast majority of Veterans and Americans agree, and that is why this is the right decision.” Cash saved from ditching these “specific medical treatments for gender dysphoria” will now prop up real heroes—think paralyzed vets and amputees—helping them claw back some independence.

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee or subscribe. Thank you.

“All eligible Veterans — including trans-identified Veterans — will always be welcome at VA and will always receive the benefits and services they’ve earned under the law,” the department swore. “But if Veterans want to attempt to change their sex, they can do so on their own dime.” Bathrooms and rooms? Back to birth sex rules. The VA also torched Veterans Health Administration Directive 1341(4), which propped up this circus.

Here’s the kicker: the VA “has not kept consistent and reliable records” on how many vets got these treatments, how much it cost, or how many staffers were roped in. Best guess? Less than 0.1% of the 9.1 million vets in VA care are trans-identified. Small potatoes, big headache.

Virginia Democrats vote 100% for murdering babies up to birth

Leftists are great with words. They are "pro-choice," which means "pro-abortion," which also means "in favor of ending the life of a baby in the womb of his or her mother." They call it "the right to choose," when it also means the right to decide whether the baby in question lives or dies. It's akin to "gender affirming care," but never "delusion affirmation," or "genital mutilation."

The left used to pretend that abortions should be safe, legal and rare, but now they dropped all pretense, at least the leftists in Virginia.

The radical pro-abortion members of the Virginia Senate debated the most extreme baby-killing measure ever introduced on Monday, SJ 247, the so called Right to Reproductive Amendment, introduced by Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-38. See how nice they describe their horror show? It has nothing to do with 'reproduction,' it has to do with preventing it.

“The effect of this extreme amendment to the state constitution should it ultimately be adopted will almost certainly prevent passage of any future bills intended to provide appropriate protections to the women and babies of Virginia from unchecked abortion businesses,” said Olivia Gans Turner, President of VSHL. “It is merely a way to give abortion promoters the ability to operate in the Commonwealth without regulations. It is the responsibility of the legislature to consider the best ways to protect vulnerable individuals. This amendment will seriously interfere with that role and cause more preborn babies to be killed and put women in harm’s way.”

Sen. Tara Durrant, R-27, suggested a sensible change to make sure the proposed amendment wouldn't mess with or challenge Virginia's Parental Consent law. Sen. Emily Jordan, R-17, tried to tweak SJ 247 to let lawmakers pass bills that would protect babies who survive abortions by ensuring they get the medical care they need.

Some Senators pointed out the risks of passing a resolution that might lead to lawsuits against the few sensible pro-life laws still standing in Virginia. In other states, similar changes have resulted in court decisions that wiped out all pro-life laws there.

Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-2, called out supporters of the amendment for not protecting parental rights and the safety of young girls, urging them to accept the reasonable changes proposed by Republican members. He also noted that Constitutional Amendments always override regular laws in Virginia, suggesting that even the partial-birth amendment could be overturned, leaving other laws vulnerable to legal challenges.

“Democrats rejected the two rational amendments offered proving that they have no interest in protecting teens or parents’ rights,” said Gans Turner. “These members are clearly committed to the abortion industry over the lives of those affected by this extreme amendment.”

Republican governor's veto overridden by Republicans: Trans procedures and boys v. girls in sports banned

Mike DeWine (RINO)

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was hoping for a strange, new respect from liberals who favor boys competing against girls in sports, and for children to have their genitals mutilated in order to pretend to be the opposite gender. 

DeWine vetoed a bill put forth by Ohio Republicans that would ban transgender procedures and hormone treatment from being done to children, and also barred boys and men from competing against females in athletic competitions.

But Republicans in the Ohio state Senate voted to override DeWine's veto, following House Republicans’ January 10 vote to do the same, with that vote ending up 65-28.

It looks like DeWine's political career may be in jeopardy, but he has a shot at working for MNSBC or CNN. 

The bill in question, House Bill 68 is made up of two acts: the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” and the “Save Women’s Sports Act.” It bans transgender procedures on minors, such as  total breast removal on girls who think that they're boys, and other genital mutilation procedures for children with the mental illness known as gender dysphoria. It also prohibits males from competing in female sports across the state, grades K-12, and the collegiate level because males have a biological advantage over females.

When DeWine had first vetoed the bill, he argued that passing the it would hinder parental rights to allow their easily influenced child and/or parent, to perform irreversible procedures on their child based on the latest leftist fad.

“Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is medically best for a child than the two people who love that child the most, the parents,” DeWine argued.

In fact, DeWine would be wrong. That's akin to saying the a mother who suffers from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy knows what's best for her child by giving him or her unnecessary invasive medical treatment. Being a parent usually means you love your child, but it does not necessarily translate into knowing what is best for him or her.

He also made the claim that he was acting to preserve “life,” because he bought into the notion that kids who don't transition will commit suicide. Statistical data shows that the suicide rate is just as high for those who transition as it is for those with gender dysphoria who don't get their bodies mutilated.

“Ultimately, I believe this is about protecting human life,” DeWine naively said. “Many parents have told me that their child would not have survived, would be dead today, if they had not received the treatment they received from one of Ohio’s children’s hospitals. I’ve also been told by those who are now grown adults that but for this care, they would have taken their life when they were teenagers.”

Many parents who say such things are wrong. And in fact, young kids overwhelmingly grow out of their gender dysphoria later on and lead normal lives as adults when their genitals are left intact.

Though Republicans are generally in agreement that these types of irreversible procedures are harmful for children and therefore should be banned, Republicans like former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have argued in the way of DeWine because like the Ohio governor, Christie is also a RINO in more ways than one.

While making his short-lived 2024 presidential bid, Christie argued that procedures like double mastectomies and penis-removing vaginoplasty surgeries are a “parent’s decision.” By that logic, so is abortion even after nine months.

Anyway, the law will take effect in about three months and one day these kids will look back on their childhood and be grateful they didn't have the procedures.

Gov. DeWine finds political winds are blowing the other way so he walks back his support of trans surgeries

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine (RINO) made the GOP have a cow last week after he vetoed a bill that was designed to protect children from having their genitals mutilated and other "gender affirming care" such as using chemical castration drugs or removing their breasts.

Republicans from across the country criticized him for his woke stance, and while we don't know if he walked back his veto due to pressure, we do know he has no sense of morality or ethics. In any case, DeWine ended up walking it all back and he signed an “emergency” executive order Friday banning transgender surgeries on minors. 

Unfortunately for the naive minors in Ohio that was just about the only thing that was banned. The original bill put forth by the Republican majorities in the legislature went well beyond genital mutilation and drugging kids, so the Ohio trans movement remains alive. 

[H/T National Review]

So not only did the Republican bill dubbed the SAFE Act end gender mutilation of children, it also prohibited physicians from prescribing cross-sex hormones or puberty-blocking medicine [you know, the castration elixir aforementioned] for children. 

Even more, the bill banned men from competing against women in sports, a situation that in many cases have resulted in life-changing incidents and in others where mediocre athletic men grabbed world records and trophies against top women in the sport.

At least the new order would bar physicians from performing gender-transition surgeries, such as mastectomies and hysterectomies, on kids in Ohio’s hospitals and health-care facilities, and boys can take their balls and go home.

For now, do not believe a word this RINO governor says when explaining what he stands for. He stands for Mike DeWine and he needs to be primaried in the next Ohio gubernatorial election.

Nebraska senator screams "We need more trans people!" at debate over genital mutilations

A Friday morning session of the Nebraska legislature sounded more like an argument on a junior high school bus than a group of state lawmakers debating a bill to ban boys from having their penises and testicles carved up and shaped to look like a labia and vagina, and girls from having a double mastectomy, the skin removed from another body part such as the fatty part of an arm and shaped sort of like a penis and testicles, while both boys and girls to be given hormone blockers that will affect their lives forever. 

People on the Left think this is no biggie, except perhaps, when it comes to themselves or their own children. But even in the latter cases, some of these lunatics have no problem with it.

The bill is to protect children, minors whose brains have a long way to go before they can make responsible, life altering decisions. This isn't like choosing whether to wear pants or a dress; this is about decisions that will remain with them to their graves. 

Adults can do whatever they want with their bodies, but kids are sweet and stupid and often impulsive. Rather than mutilating their genitals on the latest craze, kids need to be protected by us while they're kids. If they want to cut off their twigs and berries, or whatever, as adults they can go for it.

Anyway, the bill was approved by lawmakers and sent to Republican Gov. Jim Pillen's desk to become law. Simply put, it bans sex change procedures for minors, as well as abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy.

In voicing her disapproval to the measure Friday morning, state Democrat Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh slapped the lectern and repeatedly shouted: "Transgender people belong here, we need trans people, we love trans people."

Why is a person who's gender confused, or suffering from gender dysphoria, needed, and needed for what purpose congruent to his or her mental disorder? Speaking of which, Cavanaugh's mental disorder seems to have been hidden from the public until now.

"You matter. You matter and I am fighting for you. I will not stop," Cavanaugh said. 

Oh, I almost forgot: her Twitter bio displays her pronouns as she/her, because she evidently hasn't had her breasts removed and her female parts reshaped into a false penis etc.

But she virtue signaled on: "I will not stop today, I will not stop tomorrow. You are loved. You matter. You belong here." 

I wonder what she and her ilk, such as Joe Biden and the Democrats pushing for gender confusion, experienced a few years ago before transgenderism became the new thing.

In addition to cheering on pediatric gender mutilation, Cavanaugh also went hard against people on the right side of the aisle [and the issues] who voted for the bill, partly because it also bans killing unborn babies after they've reached the age of 12 weeks in the mother's womb. And no, fathers cannot have babies and the term 'birthing person' sucks as much as the person who came up with it.

Cavanaugh is just a symptom of what is wrong with today's society. a society in which we have emasculated and vilified men, especially white men, have made a mockery out of women by men like Dylan Mulvaney whose "female blackface" is a misogynistic insult to all women, and have made our military a social experiment while the bad actors in the world laugh at us.

The debate had to be stopped briefly when activists in the chamber balcony got up and yelled filthy obscenities at conservative lawmakers while tossing bloody tampons onto the floor. Then these idiots, with total lack of self-awareness chanted, "Shame! Shame! Shame!" But at least they didn't do the "Hey, hey, ho, ho [fill in the blank] gotta go" chant.

Only six people were arrested at the Nebraska state capitol building after lawmakers passed the bill.

Perhaps the ship of state is turning around as seventeen states have already passed laws banning transgender mutilations, hormones and therapies for kids, and currently, there are pending proposals before the governors of Missouri and Texas.  

Medical groups who are losing out at making big bucks for the surgeries and life-long drug regimens, claim that preventing kids from getting their genitals mutilated further marginalizes transgender youth and threatens their health. But if their health being threatened was true, why wasn't the suicide rate, which they are referring to, much higher before transitioning surgery was available? 

Like most of what progressives say, the opposite is true.

Matt Walsh will hold "Rally to End Child Mutilation"

Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty Images

Matt Walsh, host of the Daily Wire, documentarian and children's author is not just talking about the issue of child mutilation [otherwise known as transitioning children] he's doing something about it to bring it to the public's attention.  Walsh is holding a rally at the Tennessee state capitol in Nashville that is aimed at calling for an end of "child mutilation" in the state.

The rally is to take place on October 21st. 

Walsh tweeted:

“Join us on October 21 at the state capitol as we rally to end child mutilation across the state. We are going to put a stop to gender ideology’s assault on our children. Come and be a part of the movement.”

Matt will speak at the rally, which begins at 4:00 p.m. and there will be more speakers there as well--announcements to follow. The bestselling author also encouraged his followers to reserve a free ticket to the rally to “send a message to the entire nation that radical experimentation is not ‘medical care’ as the left has claimed—it is child mutilation, and Americans will not allow it to continue.”

It was Walsh who uncovered the practices of Vanderbilt University Medical Center where surgeries are being performed on children and whereby a large number of lawmakers demanded an investigation into the Nashville pediatric gender clinic. Shocking videos by a Vanderbilt doctor from the clinic described certain transgender surgeries as "huge money makers," and went into detail as to the post operative care people would require both in doctor intervention and medication costs.

A health law scumbag also called conscientious objections to transgender surgeries “problematic.” That is, if a doctor has, for example, a religious objection to cutting off a young girl's breasts, that doctor can find another hospital in which to practice.

“I just want you to take home that saying that you’re not going to do something because of your religious beliefs is not without consequences and it should not be without consequences,” said Vanderbilt health law expert and pediatrician Dr. Ellen Wright Clayton.

“If you don’t want to do this kind of work, don’t work at Vanderbilt,” Clayton added.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee’s (R) office also said he is in contact with state lawmakers about legislation regarding transgender care for minors.

“We should not allow permanent, life altering decisions that hurt children, like we saw on display at VUMC. The Governor is in communication with Leader Johnson and Leader Lamberth about legislative solutions, and we look forward to working with them and many other Tennesseans who are passionate about protecting children,” Casey Sellers, a spokeswoman for the governor, said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

The clinic performs “gender-affirming” double mastectomies on minor girls and offers puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors as well, according to Walsh. 

In one video uncovered by Walsh, a Vanderbilt "sado-doctor" affiliated with the adult transgender clinic, not the pediatric one, can be seen emphasizing how gender surgery is a big money maker.

“It’s a lot of money. These surgeries make a lot of money,” VUMC Clinic for Transgender Health’s Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor said.

This horrible doctor said that “gender-affirming” double mastectomies could bring in $40,000, and a female-to-male phalloplasty could bring in upwards of $100,000.

Rear Admiral Rachel Levine opens WPATH Conference: "This is a call to action"

Montreal -- The oxymoronic-named World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) kicked off its 27th annual conference on Saturday with US Navy Rear Adm. Rachel Levine.

Levine, is a man who suffers from gender dysphoria and thinks he's a woman, and he is also the assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine's speech sounded like a Marxist "call to action" which is strange coming from an address to medical professionals.  He actually called on the audience to think of themselves as “ambassadors for science” and insisted on a “proactive” rather than “passive” approach to educating the masses. 

“Our task quite simply is to educate the public in the United States and throughout the world, in as many forms as possible,” Levine proclaimed. “We have the power to expand the boundaries of science and of public understanding.”

Levine's manifesto sounds like a way to justify his own psychological issues and perhaps those in the audience. 

The president of WPATH, Dr. Walter Bouman, and president-elect Dr. Marci Bowers, led the opening ceremony with a few words before they were interrupted by a group of activists who took over the podium with a banner and a prepared speech: “We’re just going to crash the party, no offense to anybody meant,” said one activist, while several others raised the banner. WPATH officials cut off the feed to their livestream for several minutes during the unplanned demonstration.

The livestream commenced as the activists were listing their demands, which included “Adoption of the Standards of Care, free of psychomedical barriers, and entirely based on autonomy and informed consent,” as one “transfeminine” activist read aloud to an approving, mentally ill audience. “We want free access to all trans-affirmative care,” they continued, as the conference attendees cheered. Bouman and Bowers stood by, nodding their heads in approval of the interruption and the Communist demands of taxpayers footing their bills.

The activists also demanded universal medical coverage for trans-identifying immigrants, regardless of immigration status, and an end to the “criminalization of sex work.” 

Their last unfathomable request was for the “recognition of transfeminicide as an international humanitarian crisis,” for which the conference attendees gave a standing ovation for something that is as unreal as the gender a transgender person claims to be when their genitals don't correspond to their claim.

Dr. Marci Bowers, is a surgeon who specializes in genital mutilation of both sexes, and believes he is a woman. When the activists' speech ended, he  waltzed back up to the podium, whereupon he bragged about his appointment as the first “transfeminine person” to be elected President of WPATH in its 43-year history. He is also the guy Matt Walsh interviewed in his documentary "What is a Woman" and was unable to provide a scientific answer.

Levine took to the stage after a lengthy introduction from Bowers. “I truly stand on the shoulders of those who came before me,” said Levine. “As we all know, progress brings new and inevitable challenges.”

“I’ve heard from parent after parent, family after family, who have either considered moving to different states in the United States or have moved so that their child can access the medical care they need and deserve,” began Levine. By medical care, he means having their possibly confused child, or gay child, agreeing to have their genitals cut off and replaced with a facsimile of genitals of the opposite sex.

“These stories are heartbreaking. It is critically important that medical decisions and the public pronouncements of them are based on science and human compassion rather than slander and stigmatization.”

Levine is wrong. The "science" is far from settled. What WPATH's new official guidelines refers to as "the science" has been scrutinized by The Society of Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and they wrote a  critique in January 2022 citing the lack of scientific rigor and the possible harm due to very low-quality evidence.

WPATH says its guidelines were written “based on available evidence” but cite flawed, cherry-picked studies to support their self-serving conclusions. “The current description of the literature betrays a strong bias toward studies promoting social and medical transition,” says SEGM.

Levine falsely asserts that transgender youth don’t have underlying mental health issues that may be contributing to or causing their dysphoria. He claims that “It is the bullying, it is the harassment, the discrimination that transgender youth face that leads to these outcomes.”

“Gender-affirming care is medical care. Gender-affirming care is mental health care. Simply put, gender-affirming care is suicide prevention care,” Levine claims, but giving the surgery and  irreversible chemical castration medications involved in the procedures a nice sounding name doesn't change what it is.

These are children he speaks of--they are confused, somewhat stupid human beings at this stage of their development [and we love them] and we cannot allow them to make life altering decisions about their bodies.

It's freaking evil shrouded in lies. Levine claims so-called gender affirming care prevents suicide is a debunked claim that posits trans-identified minors are more likely to commit suicide if they are denied “gender affirming” medical treatments. 

When researchers compared “trans” youth to teens with similar mental health problems, but not including gender dysphoria, there was little difference in suicide rates, suggesting that withholding “gender affirming” care is not a driver of suicidal ideation.

“It is wrong to politicize medical care,” continued Levine, who then went on to advocate for the politicization of medicalized gender transition, with the full support of the Biden administration. He says laws that prevent kids from accessing irreversible medical procedures is "anti-LGBTQ policies" and thus he added, “So I have a call to action. This is a call to action for all of you. I firmly believe that as a society, we have not made progress unless we have made progress for all.”

Now you know why Levine isn't just an ordinary Admiral--he's a Rear Admiral.

AL law banning genital mutilation, drugs for children takes effect

It is now a felony in Alabama to mutilate children under the age of 19 for the purpose of making them almost look like the opposite gender in which they were born. The law took effect Monday and carries a sentence up to ten years in prison for those convicted of mutilating a child, even when the child and/or parent asks for the procedure to be done.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed the Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act into law in April. She told gender mutilating advocates including White House press secretary Jen Psaki, whose last day on the job was Friday, “Alabama will continue protecting our kids and not letting out-of-state liberals like Jen Psaki and the Biden White House tell us what to do.”

All Gov. Ivey needs to worry about now is Psaki's replacement, Karine Jean-Pierre, who not only feels the same as her predecessor, but is on the LGBTQ+1 bandwagon as she is a black lesbian woman who hates Fox News, the GOP, and possibly even Greg Gutfeld.

“Our state is prepared to defend our values,” Ivey continued. “Like I said, we need to focus on properly developing our children into the adults God intended them to be.”

Several transgender groups have been challenging the bill and are seeking a temporary injunction on its taking effect — but federal district Judge Liles Burke on Sunday made no overture toward blocking the measure and children will not have to face lifelong reminders of their immature decisions encouraged by their teachers.

The groups that filed the lawsuit, including GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders and Human Rights Campaign, say the law will do “immediate and irreparable” harm to the plaintiffs, who include four “transgender youth,” two doctors, and a minister who will likely be damned to hell one day. 

The irreparable harm will come in the form of not having their nuts or breasts chopped off, a fake penis or a make believe labia sewn on from tissues coming from butt cheeks or legs, and the ability to have this done anyway once they're old enough to decide that they still want to go through with this insanity.

Fun Fact: Most children who initially think they're of the opposite gender than their birth gender, grow out of it as young adults.

Alleged President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice led by far-Left Attorney General Merrick Garland has also joined the case against the Alabama law but not against Hunter Biden and the laptop controversy.

Alabama is the first state to successfully implement such a measure, although the Arkansas legislature tried a similar protection only to meet the veto of the Natural State’s useless governor Asa Hutchinson (RINO).

Relatedly, Ivey signed another child protection bill banning the discussion of sexual orientation in K-5 classrooms as well as requiring children use the restroom that aligns with their biological sex. 

The Biden administration has been pushing hard for sex change surgeries and providing hormone treatments to children, with the White House calling it “crucial to overall health and well-being,” which is specious and currently refers to the overall well-being of the Democratic Party.

The White House published a transgender fact sheet stocked with “resources” to honor gender dysphoria calling it “Transgender Day of Visibility” from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Actually, it's braver to call transgenderism what it is: gender dysphoria.
