The marriage of gender identity ideology and the for-profit medical industry has produced a dystopian nightmare. And I am nearly as horrified by the mob of “progressives” advocating for these abuses as I am of “gender-affirming care” itself.

It’s really unfortunate that such an important word means so many different things to so many different people.

ICYMI, there's $25K+ on the table for the children's hospital of Michael O’Brien's choosing, and all he has to do is debate Leor Sapir on Cass Review & gender Rx. Debates, like couples therapy, only work if they're in good faith. Will O'Brien stand by his claim that Cass is a 'sham'?

If you had told me a decade ago that this is where Democrats and Republicans would be in 2024, I’d have thought you’re insane.

We live in an age when some of our most brilliant minds have to waste their time explaining to people things like “why males don’t belong in women’s prisons” and “why males don’t belong in women’s sports.” My patience for all of this is rapidly waning.

I believe that trans people are human beings deserving of respect. I believe that trans people do not identify as their natal sex. I believe that trans people sometimes take hormones and undergo surgeries to look more like the opposite sex.

I do not believe that a person can

Is it true that many converts to Islam were woke before their conversion?
I do think that this is either currently happening or will soon happen. But I didn’t realize that it had already happened. Ayaan Hirsi Ali

From Azeen Ghorayshi’s interview with Dr. Hilary Cass in the NYT.

The most comprehensive report ever produced on youth gender medicine, 388 pages long and based on 7 systematic reviews of evidence, and U.S. medical authorities couldn’t care less.

Astounding.

I just wanna say how enjoyable it’s been, watching straight people colonize the gay and lesbian community these past few years. A special ‘thank you’ to the nonbinaries, the AGPs, and the het-queers. Together, you’ve shown us what imperialism is really about.

What an absolute poser.
Congrats, “LGBTQ+ community”. After two decades as an out and proud gay man, I’m so ashamed to be associated with you that I’m once again wishing I were straight.
