Thank you son much for this. The point that it is not WHO wrote the HHS Report, but WHAT it said - the substance - is what matters cannot be stressed enough.
I don’t care who says the Earth is round or gravity is a real force or 2 plus 2 equals 4. I care whether those things are true.
I care about treating young vulnerable individuals in distress with proper interventions (which may mean no interventions, talk therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary changes, or many other things - with the most drastic being chemicals and surgeries to alter their appearance and their bodily functions). If Donald Trump’s administration funded proper research that can help these individuals, I want to hear about it and fairly critique it - despite the fact that I disagree with much of what he has to say on other topics. If this is the one good thing his administration does to help this country and maybe the world, we should certainly take that and use it to our advantage.
If someone wants to deny facts, it is incumbent on that dissenting party to explain why those facts are not true. If someone wants to challenge the principles of gravitational force, they must explain their alternative theory, not scream about what a bigot Isaac Newton was (not that I know anything about Isaac Newton’s opinions about race and ethnicity).
Clearly, the AAP and APA and Endocrine Society don’t care about the vulnerable individuals they are pushing into extreme interventions or they would have properly engaged in the HHS Report.
Perhaps the historians of the future will have some explanation for how a once vigorously sane culture managed to so completely decay so very quickly and seemingly without a fight. It would seem that by the time civilized people realized that the woke were taking over, it was already too late. One gets the impression that the APA is already past reform, there are no adults in the room anymore, the only choice is the Trumpian one of shutting the thing down entirely. Are their any of our once trusted public institutions that have withstood this?
I think history will conclude that humans are gullible. The gender narrative launch into the mainstream was a well funded and cleverly orchestrated marketing campaign. Kids, academics were targeted in schools and online via compassion for the gender confused child. The emotional hook (compassion) hid the true intent - redefine human sexuality. People fell for it. It took Covid for me to realize just how easy it was to manipulate humans to accept the unacceptable.
It would be such a comfort to find that it was a conspiracy -- some malevolence engineered the thing -- rather than self-generated, spontaneous madness. It seems clear that the gay lobby, having run out of victimhood for homosexuals, latched onto trans as the next big thing in terms of keeping the money coming in. There are those reports about big hospitals flogging the issue as a huge profit center. I myself suspect the pedos -- if a boy is old enough to demand to have his genitals cut off, surely he is old enough to 'demand' to be buggered? Love is love, as the kids learn at drag queen story time. There is no such thing as unnatural.
It seems a combination of things. There is definitely plenty of self generated spontaneous madness. Burning witches at the stake comes to mind. But the madness got started after the trans ball was pushed down the hill. The LGB lobbies picked up T in the 2000s. Agree it was a way to keep the money flowing. Once gender ideology was pushed into the mainstream, it was self perpetuating by all the people who profited from it. When I started digging into that, it was beyond disgusting that these people would sacrifice children just to build a new profit center. But there is definitely more when you consider the bizarre legislation that attempts to cut parents out, the capture of medical institutions and forcing schools to teach that sex is fluid. What is happening in the courts populated by progressive judges is also incomprehensible. One thing is for sure, huge money was and is behind this movement. It did not happen spontaneously. You might check out Jennifer Bilek’s substack who has been researching the money behind this for years. I am not 100% on board with everything she says but it is clear there are powerful people who got the trans ball rolling. For example the Pritzker family is behind it and they bankrolled Obama. He started legislatively pushing the trans narrative immediately. I could go on and on but will leave it at that!
Thanks Sue, your thinking has depth, I hope to hear more from you.
> it was beyond disgusting that these people would sacrifice children just to build a new profit center
Indeed. I'm a generally forgiving guy, but I dream of a Bloody Assize where these people are made to pay for their crimes and quite frankly I want them to suffer. I think Joshua planned the genocide of the Canaanites anyway, but it surely put wind in his sails that the followers of Yahweh were genuinely disgusted by the children being sacrificed to Moloch. Moloch is with us again.
I suspect that the professional associations are still operating on the belief that they can treat with contempt anyone who disagrees with them. In blue state environments and blue organization environments the inhabitants are completely convinced that their beliefs correspond to the one and only one reality. I know this because they tell me that when they are around "conservatives" they counter any "conservative" opinions with comments like, "Well, that isn't really how it is." They talk about their conflict between wanting to "educate" conservative people versus writing them off and ending all contact with them. They are all terrified of Trump, but no Democrat I know believes that the "gender" madness is literally madness, let alone that it is on its way out.
You must not know very many Democrats. I am a Democrat. I have been concerned about the medical treatment of minors for gender dysphoria for some time. I follow this and other writers who are pursing evidence-based, not ideological-based, facts about this treatment. I am not alone. I believe there are many of us who do not support what we have concluded is an experiment on troubled children. It disturbs me a great deal that extremists have taken control of both parties.
yes there are plenty of dems who disagree with gender policies. just not enough to reflect in any significant way on dem policy positions or even messaging. if youre claiming there are extreemists on both sides, it sounds if you buy an ounce of what the gender propagandists are selling. but its all 100% fiction. i was a life long democrat until dems fell for this harmful fraud.
I was waiting for this Colin, and wasn’t disappointed.
The key to refusal to engage of AAP and EP is due to the constancy of the need to hide sex in the sex mimic model.
All those who concur with or affirm sex mimicry must logically abandon any other objectives of their organization, and maintain strict secrecy about sex mimicry because there are never any upsides to examining the condition.
All examination can only conclude the sex mimics are men - there is no other endpoint in objective reality - and that any medical approaches to denying reality create iatrogenic harm.
It’s like not opening bills. If you don’t open the bill you don’t owe anybody money. If you never discuss sex mimicry, then it can never be challenged. If you don’t study harm it doesn’t happen. Remember Trump - if you don’t count Covid deaths they didn’t happen.
This creates humorous conditions - the more evidence that men mimicking women are men, the less likely anybody affirming the deception will ever possibly engage at all.
1000 parents should create a class-action lawsuit to force these organizations to confront data, and remove all statements in any way about male and female sex mimics from their literature.
Thank you for keeping us updated Colin. In case you haven’t heard, New Zealand has banned puberty blockers in line with the Cass report. Our minister finally had the balls!
Thank you, Colin, once again you have nailed it. The title of this writing says it all. I am just waiting for it all to fall apart around their ears. Love, Indio
I think part--part--of the problem is that this report came from the Trump administration, easily the most corrupt in modern memory, and perhaps in the last century. If those people told me the sky is blue, I'd go to a window to double-check.
That said, it is the *duty* of organizations like the AAP and the Endocrine Society to respond to things like this. Indeed, if the report was infected by Trumpian corruption, it would be easy to blow it out of the water with facts and science, but they didn't even try. If someone tells me that Fact A is easily provable but refuses to bother, you know, proving it, I have my doubts about how much a fact A really is.
Also, when one looks at the (now revealed) authors of the report, the perspective changes too, or it should. If they were JD Vance and Krisi Noem and Nick Fuentes, sure, I'd dismiss that report, too. But does anyone really think Alex Byrne is MAGA? Or that Moti Gorin is filled with a burning hatred of trans people? I have my disagreements with the Manhattan Institute, but Leor Sapir is a smart, sensible guy who's done serious work on this topic. The suggestion that this report is pure malice just doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
Organizations like the AAP and the Endocrine Society are making it difficult even for people sympathetic to trans people to hold the line. They're ducking the necessary battles and telling themselves that, somehow, they can still win the war.
In the last few days, Dr. Helen Webberley, infamous for her online, offshore Gender GP company taking "affirmative care" to new impersonal, unregulated heights, has been gaslighting the public in several interviews, notably on Andrew Gold's channel, Heretics and on Robbie Starbuck channel. She accuses everyone mentioning the plight of detransitioners of "cherrypicking" the "one or two" supposedly rare cases of regret. I know it's hard for commentators to keep all the details handy for challenging these ideologues, but we must. It is quite straightforward to go through the flaws in the famed Dutch study funded by Ferring Pharma which resulted in the flawed Dutch Protocol this Dr. Webberley follows slavishly. Because I saw my then-husband get sucked onto the trans train 30 years ago, with the typical 1 appointment diagnosis in 1993, and a fast-track to "sex reassignment" after a period of detransition, then retransition instead of therapy to deal with his childhood abuse history, I know just how corrupt the field is. His therapist used the same tropes; "medically necessary, wrong body since birth" and etc. While getting into the weeds of the individual low quality studies is not the post pumpkin pie conversation anyone prefers this Thanksgiving, the proof of the medical malpractice is indeed in the De Vries, et al research malpractice.
One can only hope for some justice for these people who have exploited innocent children for their own ideological purposes.

Shameful. Just so unbelievably egregiously sickeningly shameful.

I live in Portland.
I stand corrected! They are quite extreme.
