On transgenderism, the Biden administration is disguising cruelty as compassion

The Biden administration released a series of documents this week endorsing “gender-affirming care” for transgender minors, which includes irreversible gender reassignment procedures and hormone treatments. This care is both “crucial” and compassionate, the administration said, citing studies in which young transgender adults said gender-affirming care improved their quality of life.

Let’s be clear: There is nothing compassionate about indulging a mental illness, which is what gender dysphoria is. Neither is there anything remotely right about selling a lie to impressionable, young children who would do anything to escape the uncomfortable and awkward phases of life that many of us can still remember.
