Once you’ve had an abortion, you can’t take it back, which is one of the many reasons we need pregnancy care centers. They will counsel you to keep the baby, but unlike the Left, if you choose abortion, that pregnancy center will counsel the former mother through the aftermath.
Much like everything else Democrats do, they pretend there are no consequences or side effects to abortion, but the abrupt detachment of a fetus (especially in the second and third trimester) has significant biological consequences for the unborn child (death) and the mother. You can’t take it back, and the Left’s “health care” does nothing to help the mother “transition” through the hormone shifts and other physical and psychological side effects.
Much like how defunding police created more crime and injustice in the black community, it’s not their problem, but if you complain, they’ll raise some taxes to grow the government and make matters worse. If you keep complaining, you become the enemy.
Have you ever tried to be a Democrat and disagree on the issue of abortion? On any issue.
Detransioners agree – you can’t take it back, and Democrats will bully you for even daring to choose to try.
Pride?
The constant barrage of LGBT messaging marketed as truth or justice is no more disgusting than would be an endless parade of heterosexual pride messaging. There is no place for it in early grades, nor should children be exposed to it. Telling adults not to discuss human sexuality on or off any spectrum at that age is common sense. Preventing the access to or use of gratuitous material promoting heterosexuality was never book banning or meddling in a curriculum.
And no one would be brave for insisting on the continued exposure or access to heterosexually explicit content until now. Much of the “literature” they claim to be protecting from book banners includes heterosexual child rape, assault, sexual abuse, cigarette, alcohol, and drug use, and it has nothing to do with being gender confused. The goal is to normalize sexualized subject matter through which gender-blending is introduced.
It is psychological warfare. Brainwashing. Supplemented with exposure to online communities that inevitably lead to confusion and disorientation, which is then described as gender dysphoria (almost no child would have it if you stopped doing this to them).
Drugs follow, and then, if the used car salesman is very good, surgery you can’t take back.
Confusing Priorities
The drugs are poorly regulated, over-prescribed, and can cause cancer and death. The surgery cannot make you a different gender, but advocates pretend that it will align the mental confusion they created with a physical person. This isn’t true either. Even the best surgeons can’t make a boy into a girl. If you’ve got enough money and time and tolerance for pain and pain drugs you can never stop taking, it is possible to come close to the affectation, but no one seems to care about the endless physical and mental suffering that is more likely to end in suicide than if you’d left them the hell alone.
Banning puberty blockers and genital surgery for minors protects “trans youth” from medical intervention profiteers.
It protects them from overzealous partisan cultural abuses. It allows them to be who they are now, and since gender is a fluid experience subject to change not just daily but hourly, hormones and surgery prohibit them from being any other gender at any moment between now and the age of majority.
Puberty blockers and irreversible surgery are contraindicated if gender is on a spectrum.
The Best Medicine
If life or quality of life were or are a concern and there’s no evidence any Democrat policy preference can or has ever done either for anyone not in the ruling class, then limiting engagement to support and encouragement, until they are adults, is the best medicine. Teaching tolerance costs nothing, even when it doesn’t take. Still, you can’t take back the damage done by drugs and surgical intervention that actually isolate a body into the male-female stereotype they claim is so restricting.
Banning puberty blockers and gender surgery will do more for tans-youth “health” than anything that has been peddled in their interest to date. Besides, there is no proof that drugs or surgery reduce suicides. There is no evidence they live happier lives. There is evidence the drugs do not have long-term risks, and we know they may cause death. Research also supports that a super-majority of kids who survive the gender-blender narratives without drugs or surgery go on to live happy, healthy lives, very content with how they were born.
At eighteen, they still have the option of pursuing drugs or surgery if that is still their desire, and waiting is a trend gaining momentum among “experts” in Western Democracies.
The best health decision you can make for “trans-kids” is to be their friend, but otherwise, leave them the hell alone and let them transition to a normal adult life free from maintenance drugs and neutering surgeries that can’t be undone.
Banning puberty blockers and gender surgery is the best thing for kids’ health, period.
