Rachel Levine, in case anyone doesn't remember, failed to condemn bottom surgery on prepubescent children as "gender-affirming care."
Now Levine is telling us all a lie that all paediatricians support "gender-affirming care."
The research is being done when it comes to young children being subjected to these "treatments" and some of the results are horrifying, up to and including chemical castration.
The liberal position, so far as I can tell, is to let adults of sound mind and body make their own decisions. It's not my business and it's not the government's business. There are still people who transitioned as adults who weren't given proper information about fertility who ended up sterile as a result. I feel for those people; but, they're adults. If you're a dude and you wanna get your balls cut off tomorrow for any reason, I'm not gonna bother myself with that.
Kids are a different issue.
The leftist position is to always win intersectional brownie points even if reality points in the opposite direction. A trans-boy in this story may, upon de-transition, regain fertility; but, she's gonna have bone problems for the rest of her life. There have already been stories of trans-boys experiencing menopause and trans-girls who transitioned early having micro-penises that can't be fashioned into vaginas without extra resources and surgeries.
I'm a liberal. No people are beneath dignity and no idea is above scrutiny. There's nothing in my philosophy that prevents me from loving or caring about anybody due to race, sex, gender, creed, etc.
I will not and cannot capitulate here. My line is drawn. If you can't say that it is wrong to cut a young boy's testicles off for any reason other than a serious physical medical condition, you're a bad person. If you think that it's okay to even embrace the possibility of taking a physically healthy child's ability to have kids in the future away before the kid hits puberty, you're a bad person.
You can be a loving, compassionate, understanding human being without causing irreversible damage to children.
