It’s “just devastating to, especially from a young age, to be lied to by adults at school and by medical professionals and told that your body is wrong, you need to change it, you need to get hormones, you need to get surgeries....” So said Helena Kerschner, 23, who lived several years taking cross-sex hormones and claiming to be male. Yet she was fortunate, Kerschner states, because she emerged from her delusion medically “unscathed.”
Not so lucky was Nathaniel (last name withheld), who had “bottom surgery” a month after his 18th birthday. Regretting the decision less than a year later, he called the operation a “Frankenstein hack job” that caused him to reflect. “I had turned myself into a plastic-surgery facsimile of a woman, but I knew I still wasn’t one,” he lamented in 2019. “I feel as though I have ruined my life.”
Unfortunately, instead of heeding the object-lesson warnings Nathaniel and other such teens issue, the Biden administration has decided to roll out a MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) policy that endorses the life-rending interventions in question. This is even as more liberal countries, such as Sweden, France, and Norway, are abandoning MUSS meddling, having recognized its folly.
Thus warned Suzy Weiss, sister of former New York Post reporter Bari Weiss, in a Substack article last week titled “The Testosterone Hangover.” In it, she chronicles the woes of MUSS teens who underwent so-called “gender affirming care,” but, as with Kerschner and Nathaniel, later regretted the malpractice visited upon them. Weiss contends that these youths simply needed “a little time to grow up,” and, in fact, science bears this out:
Data show that insofar as sexually confused adolescents go, upwards of 80 percent of girls and more than 90 percent of boys will outgrow their “gender dysphoria” — if left alone.
Weiss opened her piece with the story of a girl who wasn’t left alone, Chloe; in fact, the teen was given puberty blockers and testosterone and had a double mastectomy at 15.

So what else is new? The Progs began the 20th Century thinking to force-sterilize "the weak minded" in their eugenics quest. Now they only persuade-coerce to achieve the same goal? We should be grateful you didn't mention it so they will permit you to continue in your trade more or less unmolested.
