The "transgender" movement, especially the part involving children and teens, is one of the biggest medical, to say nothing political, scandals of our time.  Lives are being destroyed over something that at bottom is a cult.

The media are complicit in this scandal:

It’s not just a problem of journalists who refuse to report and/or editors who won’t let them. My posts on online forums have been censored as well. My comment on the College Confidential discussion board (about what happens to young trans-identifying college students) was removed immediately. I was permanently banned from the site within minutes. My comment on this story in The Washington Post was deleted hours after it posted. The folks at Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted blocked me from their Twitter page. My offenses: merely attempting to spread the truth.

In the end, I decided to go “outside the mainstream” and approached Ryan Anderson at the Heritage Foundation. He agreed to host a politically left-leaning panel where, for the first time, stories of children who have been harmed by “gender identity” medical practices were read out loud. The audience learned about a school “where several students were already on hormones and one had a mastectomy at the age of 16.” They learned how parents who do not support their child’s gender identity risk being reported to Child Protective Services and losing custody of their children . . . and how a minor child underwent a double mastectomy and radical hysterectomy as a minor, without her parents’ consent. The audience was visibly disturbed and shocked.

However, I would argue it is starting to change, beginning with the UK media, which have done some great work exposing this Mengele-style bullshit.

Madeleine Kearns of the National Review has done some good work on this issue.  What a shame the general media feels intimidated to do any kind of questioning of this bullshit.

How the hell is this NOT 100 percent?

According to a 2017 Pew Research poll, 54 percent of Americans believe that whether someone is male or female depends on his or her birth sex (and 44 percent do not). But the reluctance of Americans to stand up for this belief — and the silence of the American mainstream media — has allowed congressional lobbyists to promote a radical gender-identity policy agenda virtually unchallenged.

How is something that is as obvious as gravity or the earth's rotation around the sun denied by 44 percent of the population?  How the hell is it even possible to think whether you are male or female ISN'T determined by your birth sex?  That is what it IS.  I wonder if the original poll actually asks this or if this isn't Kearns' interpretation of the question.  So far I can't find the poll in question.
