I love Chicago’s John Kass.
Today his blog post was on something I and my friends here (especially David) have hit time and time again because we are so passionately terrified for today’s children. But there was a moment in it that was such a revelation, I wanted to share it with you all. An aspect of the gender affirming madness that I hadn’t considered before.
His column appeared at almost the same time as this horrific story on Fox, and it was as if it was meant to be.
A young male, who formerly identified as a transwoman, who was castrated and became a “patient for life” as part of “gender-affirming care,” wants to warn others not to follow in his footsteps. He discussed his story of resilience and learning to accept himself for who he is for the first time with Fox News Digital.
Kobe, whose name is being withheld for privacy reasons, had “checked every box for what they call a trans adolescent.” He was always “effeminate” and loved pink and playing with Barbies. If he was never exposed to gender ideology, he says he’d probably “would have just stayed a feminine boy. And there’s nothing wrong with that.”
And there’s nothing wrong with that. At all.
But he wasn’t allowed to work through it. He was coached into something else entirely by adults. Something irreversible.
…Kobe told his parents that he was transgender at age 11. At 13, Kobe said that older trans people online instructed him, as well as other kids, to “play the suicide card”in order to get chemical interventions.
…Kobe was started on puberty blockers around 13, estrogen at 16 and later had castration surgery at 19.
There isn’t much about his parents in the article except the note that he had “family acceptance.” His parents loved him, and I can’t imagine how blindsided they were by the abruptly suicidal teen they had on their hands. I wonder what they were being told by trans “experts”? That better they have a new daughter than a dead son?
I do remember one absolutely gutted mother saying that’s the choice the “experts” beat parents over the head with to allow the puberty blockers and worse.
In some cases, it’s a classic Munchausen by proxy abuse situation. The parent, almost invariably the mother, is driving a child into the arms of trans activists and gender affirming medical butchers. Always pushing, questioning a child’s natural reticence once things go too far, insisting they know better. I think of Jazz Jennings’s mother and his monstrous doctor, Marci Bowers – for all the world to see – pushing that boy to slice and dice himself to bits for ratings and their own glory.
And it is horrifically abusive. In no way is it “best for the child,” whatever parental moral authority you claim. It’s sick, period.
Kass doesn’t quibble calling it what it is, either.
…It was a column by Dr. Greg Ganske, a former Iowa congressman and retired plastic surgeon who is raising important questions with his latest piece: “Is it Science or Child Abuse Part II.”
Of course it is child abuse.
America clings to the delusion it is not child abuse even as we commit mass cultural suicide, as we engage in castration of young minor boys and other irreversible tortures inflicted on young pubescent girls via puberty blockers–on the whims of terribly delusional and tortured parents.
He goes on to question, if supposedly so much more liberal and open European countries are turning away from transgender treatments for adolescents, why on earth is the United States such a hotbed for carving up and mutilating our most precious resource?
…Europe is tossing such gruesome notions of “gender assignment surgery and “treatment” where they belong, in the garbage. Recently, Norway has joined other politically progressive European nations–including Finland, the U.K. and Sweden in imposing limits on such treatments for minors.
…Why are those who stand up in support of women in women’s sports are targeted for obliteration? It isn’t just a difference of opinion, it is a power trip of angry wasps determined to sting you and other objectors to death.
You’ve seen them egged on in a frenzy against “Harry Potter” novelist J.K. Rowling, against women’s tennis champion Martina Navratalova and so on.
WHY
And then he reports on an interview with an Irish journalist named Helen Joyce, who, when asked the same question, gave one of the most gut-wrenching, horrific answers I think I’ve ever heard. And knowing these women today – the same women we see sneering and snarling at protests, or in corporate board meetings – I can’t dispute it at all.
…“A lot of people have done what is the worst thing you could do, which is to harm their children irrevocably, because of it. Those people will have to believe that they did the right thing for the rest of their lives, for their own sanity, and for their own self-respect. So they’ll still be fighting, and each one of those people destroys entire organizations and entire friendship groups.
“Like, I’ve lost count of the number of times that somebody has said to me of a specific organization that has been turned upside down on this, “Oh, the deputy director has a trans child.” Or, oh, the journalist on that paper who does special investigations has a trans child. Or whatever. The entire organization gets paralyzed by that one person. And it may not even be widely known at that organization that they have a trans child. But it will come out, people will have sort of said quietly, and now you can’t talk truth in front of that person, and you know you can’t, because what you’re saying is: “You as a parent have done a truly, like, a human rights abuse level of awful thing to your own child that can not be fixed.
“There are specific individuals who are actively against women’s rights here and it is not known why they are, but I happen to know through the back channels that it is because they’ve transed their child.
“So those people will do anything for the entire rest of their lives to destroy me and people like me because people like me are standing in reproach to them. I don’t want to be, I’m not talking directly to them, and I don’t spend my time bitching to them.
“But the fact is that just simply by saying we will never accept natural males in women’s spaces, well it is their son that we’re talking about. And they’ve told their son that he can get himself sterilized and destroy his own basic sexual function and women will accept him as a woman. And if we don’t, there’s no way back for them and that child.
“They’ve sold their child a bill of goods that they can’t deliver on.“
They cannot fix their children. The children their “fixing” has ruined for life and whose fixing has ruined their lives.
They have to live in denial and lash out. Or they can’t live with themselves.
But doing so allows the “fix” for more children.
It is so twisted.
So evil.
ENOUGH.
Women could fix this.
Real women.
Just say NO MORE. NO MORE trans athletes, NO MORE group bathrooms and showers, NO MORE indoctrination of children. NO MORE glamorizing drag as an art form or family entertainment. NO MORE corporate ads promoting men as women,
If they stand as one against the demonic reaction that will be cast against them
God Bless JK Rowling and others under attack .
I agree about the Frankencare...it is and it is abuse, IMHO. These kids need therapy, not encouragement. Its like a kid with a club foot demanding surgery to make it worse and the parents agreeing.
That said, following the EU is not always such a hot idea...they had the most draconian lockdowns and vax demands, except for Sweden. FJB tried mightily to take us there.
Now the EU is poised to demand digital ID, etc.
No thanks.
BTTT
FTA: “ In some cases, it’s a classic Munchausen by proxy abuse situation.”
IMO, this is the central, root cause because the parents enable the child’s clear mental illness with these Mengelean “treatments” to make themselves feel better or socially superior.
IOW manipulation and blackmail of the parents ...
ltr
“Just say NO MORE. NO MORE trans athletes,”
This would work if not for the many women who would completely come apart at being called transphobic.
“this is the central, root cause”
Absolutely. They sacrifice their kids so they can be the center of attention at trendy cocktail parties. What awful people.
“This woman brilliantly explains exactly why the trans kids social contagion is the worst social contagion we’ve ever experienced.”

2m18s vid, quite worthwhile. It will be a fight to overcome this.
“Women could fix this.
Real women”
Agreed. They could stop it in a New York minute…Why aren’t they???
I wonder if some of these mothers never outgrew their Barbie Doll phase. And I really hope the movie doesn’t exacerbate the problem.
We can outnumber them.
Based on what I saw at the movie theater yesterday when I went to see Sound Of Freedom, I can confirm that The Barbie Movie is exacerbating the problem.
My sister-in-law had four children, all boys. She was wise enough to let them be themselves and now she is happily sewing, cooking and shopping with her four granddaughters.
