NY Times Attacks 'Detransitioners' for Using Their Stories to Help Stop Mutilation of Children; Cites Leftist Pediatric OrganizationsAaron Sibarium, writing for the Washington Free Beacon reports that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has a "longstanding left-wing bias—over two thirds of pediatricians are registered Democrats," which "has accelerated, turning the organization into a more overtly political body that now pronounces on issues from climate change to immigration. As rates of gender dysphoria exploded and the Covid-19 pandemic hit, that bias seeped into the organization's medical policy recommendations, unchecked by discussion or debate.
The article, titled "How a Few Stories of Regret Fuel The Push To Restrict Gender Transition Care," laments how individuals such as Chloe Cole and Cat Cattinson have had their voices amplified in support of legislative efforts to protect minors from dangerous transgender drugs and surgeries. Maggie Astor with the Times wrote: As Republican-controlled state legislatures have passed over a dozen bills banning transition care for minors this year and have moved to restrict care for adults, Ms. Cole and fewer than 10 activists like her—people who transitioned and then changed course—have become the faces of the cause, according to a New York Times review of news coverage and legislative testimony. She continued: Their stories of regret and irreversible physical transformation have tapped into strong emotions about rapidly shifting gender norms—from hardened prejudice to parental worry. Lawmakers have used these accounts to override objections from all major medical associations, which oppose bans on transition care, as well as testimony from the far larger number of transgender people who say transitioning improved their mental health. It may be true currently that among individuals who injected themselves with hormones or who had healthy body parts removed there is not currently a majority who have registered regret. But the fundamental basis of the transgender movement is flawed—it is not possible for someone to change their gender.There are two sexes, male and female, and even "intersex" does not break that binary, as LifeSiteNews's Jeremy Williamson explains here. Astor wrote critically that "Ms. Cole and fewer than 10 activists like her—people who transitioned and then changed course—have become the faces of the cause." This is nothing new in politics, though. The fact that a few people regularly testify on legislation or speak at rallies does not undermine the credibility of what they are saying. Anyone who has worked in lobbying or for a political advocacy group knows that there are usually the same people brought to testify on legislation. They have been trained on how to speak and answer questions. And they often have personal stories to share. The Times article also criticized Republican lawmakers for using these experiences to "override objections from all major medical associations." But it really should not be necessary to even use personal stories to protect minors and adults from chemical and surgical mutilation...
