As detailed previously in this blog, Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage, and Dr. Debra Soh’s The End of Gender are the most comprehensive resources for parents on the issue of gender transitioning. Effectively summarized in this podcast, parents are highly encouraged to get up to speed on the issues and controversies involved in the current cultural debate over children transitioning from one gender to another.
New concerns surround the delivery of these services to young women and girls through various Planned Parenthood clinics. To learn more about how the lucrative aspect of child health care in gender transitioning is provided, see Inside Planned Parenthood’s Gender Factory. A closer picture of one clinic located in a small town of roughly 30,000 revealed that while abortions were the clinic’s “bread and butter … trans identifying kids are cash cows, and they are kept on the hook for the foreseeable future in terms of follow-up appointments, bloodwork, meetings, etc., whereas abortions are (hopefully) a one-and-done situation.” While abortion is disturbing for anyone who endures it, this trend toward gender transitioning health care should also be particularly alarming to parents of teens struggling with anxiety, depression, or other serious emotional issues which may underlie the desire to gender transition. The damage done to a child could be devastating as the article details.
Moreover, ideology may very well be driving these decisions, and parents should be aware of these facts. Furthermore, the current Equality Act largely works to promote these ideologies with the force of law. See Abigail Schrier's Senate testimony on this concern, particularly regarding women's sports.
Family restoration requires involved
and caring parents who are informed enough to protect their children's medical treatments.
