“Looking back, he believed he had been misled and that the VU gender clinic failed to consider the full extent of his problems. “From the moment I signed up there, it was just one-way traffic. There was only talk about medication, operations… other solutions didn’t get mentioned.”

Typical of the ideology/strategy advanced by zealots who’s myopic solution to virtually any adolescent/gender sadness, confusion or crisis is ‘transition’.

There is no science, no test, no measures to rationalise such brutal and irreversible interventions in troubled souls.

The few credible studies of outcomes over the long term 20, 30 years confirm very poor outcomes for those signing up to this medical aberration,

History will not be kind to those promoting and implementing this nonsense.

Thank for the video with Emma Thomas who grew up with her trans-identifying dad. I could not listen to it without being moved to tears. She had her entire childhood stolen from her and all her self-confidence as a woman was sucked dry. And not one adult intervened to help her. She is a strong woman but the hurt is still in her voice. The yearning to find a partner and have a family herself is there, but it's almost like she still doesn't believe she's worthy of it (you are, Emma, you are). One positive: in her case university opened her up to the truth. Would not have happened to day.

The transgender condition was recognized by sexologists and gender researchers for years before the postmodernists began to parasitize this legitimate psychosocial concern for their own ideological advancement. I have a transgendered child, and I fear that children and young adults like mine will be shuffled aside and denied the recognition and real care, including medical care, that can help them make peace with who and what they are. Paraphrasing what has been said of a certain past US president, everything the "critical" theorists touch, dies.
