President Biden is muddying the waters within the argument over gender-affirming care for teenagers.
His Wednesday govt order on LGBTQ points moved in opposition to the discredited methods as soon as used to “remedy” homosexual youngsters, even because it charged “the Division of Well being and Human Providers . . . with defending LGBTQI+ youngsters and households from assaults on their entry to well being care.”
Positive looks like the White Home is implying that opposing conversion remedy additionally means opposing justified skepticism round life-altering hormone therapies and irreversible surgical procedures for teenagers.
Households of LGBTQ youngsters ought to “allow them to be themselves,” stated the president in his speech on the chief order. Completely: Homosexual and trans individuals deserve respect and inclusion.
However that does not imply pumping pre-teens filled with chemical substances on the drop of a hat. Particularly provided that many are far too younger to make certain they really need to transition completely.
Thundering concerning the phantom menace of conversion remedy makes the entire thing appear to be a cynical ploy to tar the likes of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who’s opposing radical propaganda (masked as “affirmation”) geared toward toddlers.
And pushing, because the Biden administration has carried out, to ensure youngsters can entry these therapies (even with out important dad or mum involvement) is irresponsible and unethical.
A mountain of proof suggests these therapies ought to be used just for essentially the most critical gender dysphoria — not handed out like Halloween sweet.
Disgrace on the president for pandering to the gender radicals in his celebration.
