Gender Transitioning
The goal of the feminist revolution must be the elimination of the “sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally…The tyranny of the biological family would be broken.” — Shulamith Firestone
According to the UCLA Williams Institute, 1.4% of all youth ages 13-17 years identify as transgender, as of 2014-2020. Now, thousands of youth are receiving treatments for gender dysphoria each year.
Gender dysphoria can be deeply painful to persons affected by this problem. That said, the vast majority of children who struggle with their gender come to accept their biological sex by adulthood. Encouraging children and youth to transition to a different sex represents a radical, unethical experiment: “Doctors are conducting a giant experiment that does not come close to the ethical standards demanded in other areas of medicine,” reveals ethicist Ryan Anderson.
Now, lawsuits are being filed on behalf of youth have gone through the gender transitioning process.
