This summer, I wrote an article laying out two solutions to the growing threat posed by gender ideology. The first is to stop using the nice-sounding euphemisms crafted by leftist activists to normalize an ideology that is anything but. Don’t acknowledge or use preferred pronouns; stop using phrases like “transgender,” “cisgender” and “gender identity.” Ceding to these terms grants them legitimacy and makes one an unwitting participant in a destructive lie.
The second solution is to pass legislation making it as easy as possible to sue doctors, hospitals, and healthcare providers that enable gender ideology by providing harmful, irreversible sex-change treatments, including puberty blockers, hormonal injections, and physical reconstructions. These treatments violate every ethical standard on the books, and the only reason they are being administered so readily is because the healthcare industry has realized they’re a moneymaker. Take away that financial incentive by raising the legal stakes, and healthcare providers will quickly change course.
