The Wall Street Journal’s lead letter on Tuesday, from a Canadian endocrinologist called Roy Eappen, praises the Trump administration’s humane acknowledgement in its report on gender medicine that transgender ideology harms “a particular kind of victim: children who are gay and lesbian.”

Four in five gender-confused children grow up and out of their dysphoria naturally, and the majority turn out simply to be gay. This is surely one reason why the multibillion-dollar “gender-affirming care” industry rushes to surgical or chemical intervention. That way, it can collect its lucre before children and parents have time to change their minds.
