Every now and then when researching info for the stories I bring you, I find data that’s so profound, yet understated (or completely unreported as the case may be) that it gives me pause. That happened Monday when I was putting the finishing touches on yesterday’s Q&A regarding gender reassignment policy for minors in Florida. The understated but profound fact evidenced... A peer reviewed study published in the International Review of Psychiatry and recognized by the Florida Department of Health which stated 80% of dudes who look like ladies, eventually want to look like dudes again. In other words, eight out of every ten men who feel like a woman, will eventually feel like men again – that is if they haven’t medically jacked themselves up. Ok, that’s me paraphrasing the findings. Here’s the quote once again - 80% of those seeking clinical care will lose their desire to identify with the non-birth sex. Now, should that reality not make every effort to ever provide medical outcomes to minors regarding gender reassignment a non-starter? Science shows our brains aren’t even done developing until 25, and yet we think children are equipped to know they want permanent life-changing gender alterations? Look, for most of us this line of thinking is bat crap crazy material. But to many on the left it isn’t, and this debate has been woven into the fabric of those who espouse pride in one of the ever-growing letters. It’s an atrocity we have scientific evidence illustrating 80% of everyone who at some point identifies as one of letters or the plus (pertaining to something other than their God-given gender) later decides they were just confused. That’s a really big deal that’s been completely absent from news reporting and the debate generally. And then you have to think about what the ultimate objective is of those pushing all of this gender fluid stuff to begin with. Why would any well intentioned, even if seriously misguided, person ever push a gender change with permanent implications that 80% will later regret? That needs to be addressed head on. There’s nothing tolerant or compassionate about taking advantage of people who’re struggling physiologically.
