A detransitioner jumps off the trans train
by Rod Dreher, The American Conservative:
[…] Patrick, an Australian boy diagnosed as transgender as an adolescent…began living as a girl at 12. He demanded puberty blockers, and threatened to run away or kill himself if he didn’t get them. He couldn’t get them easily under Australian law, so Patrick’s mother put him on her own estrogen pills at 13. It permanently changed his body. But then at 14, Patrick decided that he wanted to be a boy. Now he’s walking around with breasts, and his mother is trying to get him surgery to remove them…
…Amy Welborn cuts loose on the transgender mass hysteria. She calls for widespread resistance. Excerpts (all emphases in the original):
“Resist attempts to change the law, resist the intrusion of this into your schools, your public spaces – snort derisively when you’re asked your pronouns – and never stop being deeply and annoyingly logical. So if your community passes some sort of Self-ID in terms of gender, the next time you go to the DMV or have to fill out a form indicating your identifying characteristics – go crazy. If you’re Asian with straight black hair, demand to be accepted as an Irish redhead. If you’re obviously a woman, calmly claim that you’re a dude. If you’re 60, put down 1982 as your birthdate. And don’t let go – demand to know why – if that guy over there can be named “woman of the year,” can win women’s sporting events, can be awarded a woman’s spot on a committee – it is perfectly logical that I, too, can self-identify in any way, respect or category I decide.
There is no logical argument. None.
It is mostly misogynistic, crowd-driven, profit-fueled gnosticism.”
