We have come to the point in transgenderism that to “do no harm” is subject more to interpretation than to dictate. Government actors are starting to turn the tide on child endangerment in this realm, but the sad reality is even that is a bit too late — the harm starts far before hormone treatments.

When reality shifted to accept that biological men could become women, every idea became believable. Medical professionals then colluded to determine, unfoundedly, that hormones and surgeries were the gold standard for treating gender dysphoria in young people. The recent Department of Health and Human Services “Gender Dysphoria Report” reveals just how exploitative the medical industry was of this opening, and as such, how it “failed children and adolescents struggling with gender dysphoria.” Downstream effects, of course, reach children who have no active role in the matter.
