LIBBY EMMONS: The trans agenda is crumbling under the weight of its own lies

The UK banned puberty blocking drugs for minors seeking sex changes. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health has been exposed as fetishistic frauds and liars. Detransitioners are suing their doctors, hospitals and mental health providers for peddling the lie that they can change sex. States are banning sex change drugs and surgeries for minors. Trans celebs like Dylan Mulvaney and diversity hires like Rachel Levine who make their living off off perpetrating trans are being exposed for the grifters that they are. The lies are being laid bare.

The trans agenda is falling apart. 

In response to the collapse of this monstrous philosophy, one that's seen parents push their toddlers into social sex change, men stealing prizes, scholarships and accolades in women's athletic competition, teen girls have their breasts removed, trans activists are doubling down on their insane assertions that sex change is possible and that children should do it.

The voices the speak for the progressive LGBTQ+ lobby, those activists, mental health professionals, teachers and academics who claim that it's compassionate to lie to children about the nature of their bodies and their ability to magically and surgically morph into the opposite sex, grow more and more shrill with each passing law banning porn in schools, or sex change surgeries for kids, or expose of of the superficial and sadistic reasons behind wanting "gender affirmative care" to be the law and standard practice of the land.

The mainstreaming of trans was seen as the next step from gay. If teens could know they were gay, the faulty wisdom went, surely they could know that they'd been born in the wrong body. And if teens could know it, then there must be a way for parents to be able to identify this awareness in much younger children. The idea was that it would be helpful for "trans kids" to be ushered into a trans lifestyle as soon as possible.

The WPATH Files shows that mental health professionals are fully aware that the children they treat for gender dysphoria, a feeling of incongruence between one's perceived gender and one's biological sex, are not able to give informed consent to medical procedures and drugs that destroy fertility, result in sterility, long-term complications, and deprive the individual of sexual function for their rest of their lives.

Yet WPATH has recommended no age limit on sex change and has perpetrated the idea that compassion dictates that children and teens be permitted to attempt to change sex, or to attempt to change the sex they are perceived as. They call this "life saving," Part of that is the debunked claim that kids will kill themselves if they are not permitted to make these changes.

But digging into the additional why it's called "life saving" revealed the shocking truth. It wasn't that transing kids young was compassionate for them as children, it turned out that the compassionate part of transing kids early was so that when they became adults, they would look more like the sex they allegedly wished they were as children.

That's the rationale. A doctor in Louisville, Ken. claimed that the puberty blockers were "life saving" for teens because the effects on those teens would make it easier for them to pass as the opposite sex as adults. "I think this will certainly have impact into older adults too. We know that if we were able to do some of these things earlier on, we can prevent some of the other surgical procedures that are a bit more intensive. And also ultimately improve mental health and health outcomes for transgender folks," Dr. Adam Neff said.

Such is the case with the latest missive from Pulitzer Prize-winning Andrea Long Chu, a man who in 2018 wrote an op ed in The New York Times proclaiming "My New Vagina Won't Make Me Happy, and it shouldn't have to." In it, he discussed his then-upcoming surgery, the inversion of his penis and the installation of a neo-vagina, saying "Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain. This is what I want, but there is no guarantee it will make me happier. In fact, I don’t expect it to. That shouldn’t disqualify me from getting it."

In his latest for the Intelligencer, Chu explains why children and teens should not be prevented from undergoing the same unhappiness that he went through in 2018. In Chu's view, this is a defense of so-called trans kids. He writes: "We will never be able to defend the rights of transgender kids until we understand them purely on their own terms: as full members of society who would like to change their sex. It does not matter where this desire comes from."

When faced with the horrifying truth, that sex change is a lie, that the reasons used to justify it are relativistic, barbaric, shallow, and serve only appearances, the response from trans activists is to embrace those reasons, to change the language used to talk about them, and demand that the practice continue. Evidence is meaningless to this contingent of sex change enthusiasts, all that matters is that more and more people be ushered into the cult of gender identity.

There is a scrabbling to maintain relevancy among the trans activist contingent. But truth is catching up to them and the grip trans has held on our culture, on our compassion, is withering to a rapid death.
