No one is born in a wrong body. To tell a child that his body is a mistake and that healthy tissue must be changed, destroyed, or mutilated is child abuse. Each one of us must call out this medical scandal of licensed physicians who are pushing children (who are too young to vote, drive, drink, or visit tanning beds) to permanently damage their bodies.
“Transgender” is a social contagion without science. The “transgender” emperor has no clothes; biological sex is binary, not fluid. The radical experimentation on children in the name of “medicine” should be outlawed. Puberty is not a disease that needs hormone prescriptions, but a critical window of normal development.
Children and their parents are being peddled the lie that they ought to mutilate their bodies to prevent suicide. In fact, people who try to change their biological sex are more likely to commit suicide, such as the recent suicide of the biological-male pop star “Sophie”. It is not bigotry to recognize that no amount of hormones, surgery, or cross-dressing can ever change anyone’s innate DNA. The X or Y chromosomes are in every single cell in our bodies.
Last year, Alabama held hearings on the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act. The vital testimony is compiled in Sex, Lies, and Children: Protecting the Vulnerable from Irreversible Harm.
Please buy this book at EagleForum.org/books and give copies to your state representative and state senator. The model legislation is included. Every state legislature should pass this bill and start protecting children from adults who advise children to mutilate their bodies. No child should ever be permanently sterilized for a political ideology.
