Transitioning Didn’t Make Me a Woman — But Rejecting Trans Ideology Taught Me What It Means to Be a Man

/2 Comments/in , /by

I am a 31-year-old man. I am engaged to the love of my life, a woman with whom I look forward to building a family. I have a rewarding job. On top of all this, Donald Trump takes office in just under seven weeks. I am optimistic about the future for the first time in 10 years.

I also used to be trans.

Specifically, I am an MtFtM detransitioner — i.e., I was born male, experienced severe gender dysphoria, decided that I needed to live as a female, transitioned, realized that this wasn’t the “solution” I thought it would be, destransitioned, and have gone back to living as a man.

Based on this experience — which included hormone therapy, facial feminization surgery, and breast augmentation — as well as extensive research, here are some things I think gender-dysphoric males should consider before transitioning.

Just because someone referred to you using she/her doesn’t mean you passed to them.

A very small percentage of males have the capacity to ever pass, and even for most of these, it will require surgery.

There are real long-term health consequences to hormone replacement, including but not limited to infertility and a vastly elevated risk of testicular cancer.

Couple Began ‘Transitioning’ Their Child as 1-Year-Old Boy

After the Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in U.S. v Skrmetti, the case that will determine whether states may ban transgender medical procedures for kids, one mother told The Daily Signal that her child began to transition as a baby.

“She knew since birth,” Michelle Callahan-DuMont said of her 10-year-old, a biological male who says he identifies as a transgender female and goes by the name “Violet.” . . .

CNN interviewed the same family about having a so-called transgender child. What the left-leaning news outlet didn’t mention is that Callahan-DuMont and her husband began to “transition” Violet when he was toddler age, over 1 year old.

“Violet told us when she was 1 and a half,” Callahan-DuMont told The Daily Signal. “She’s been telling us since she could speak.”

In the interview with CNN correspondent Lucy Kafanov that aired, Violet said he is afraid he will be murdered on the street for identifying as transgender. (Read more from “Couple Began ‘Transitioning’ Their Child as 1-Year-Old Boy” HERE)

Republican Senator Introduces Federal Ban On Mutilating Trans Procedures For Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., introduced legislation on Wednesday that would federally ban mutilating transgender procedures for children and punish so-called “physicians” who perform such procedures.

The legislation would block doctors from being able to prescribe or administer puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, as well as perform mutilating transgender surgeries like mastectomies.

The Safeguarding the Overall Protection of Minors (STOP) Act would allow the Department of Health and Human Services to place a minimum $100,000 fine on doctors who do not follow the law. It would also create a private right of action for victims of the procedures — or their guardians if the victim is still a minor — to sue “individuals responsible for performing, attempting to perform, conspiring to perform, or providing a referral for any gender transition procedure on the minor,” according to a Wednesday press release announcing the bill’s introduction.

“Americans resoundingly rejected the Left’s dangerous transgender agenda. Let’s call it exactly what it is: child abuse,” Marshall said in the press release. “The days of demented doctors and activists getting rich off of mutilating, sterilizing, and castrating children are over.”

“Our legislation keeps children’s safety paramount by prohibiting anyone from performing, facilitating, or even conspiring to give these irreversible therapies and procedures to minors,” he added. “This bill is just the beginning of what’s to come with President Trump at the helm and our unwavering commitment to protecting children from transgender activists’ twisted and criminal agenda.” (Read more from “Republican Senator Introduces Federal Ban On Mutilating Trans Procedures For Children” HERE)

Capitol Hill Chaos: Trans Activists Occupy Bathroom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender activists broadcast their intrusive takeover of two women’s bathrooms on Capitol Hill on December 5.

The transgender takeover marked an escalation by the mostly male movement in their campaign to demand access to spaces that are used by women to guard their sexual privacy and career opportunities in a diverse society.

The intrusions were done by two groups. One took over a bathroom in the Capitol Hill Visitor Center, and the other group occupied a bathroom in a hallway of a building used for the representatives’ offices.

The second group included Chelsea Manning, a former soldier who claimed transgender status after being convicted in 2013 for leaking secret military information during the Iraq War.

The activists were later constrained by the U.S. Capitol policy, according to a tweet shared by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC). She has recently pressured GOP leaders to recognize that incoming House Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride is a man, despite establishment media support for his claim of “transgender” status.

Proponents Of Transgender Procedures Make Shocking Admissions Before SCOTUS

/3 Comments/in , /by

Proponents of transgender procedures on children made three stunning admissions on Wednesday as they argued against a Tennessee law protecting children from the irreversible procedures before the Supreme Court.

The admissions — that cross-sex hormones can cause infertility, that people regret the procedures, and that transgender procedures aren’t associated with lower suicide rates — undercut leftist activists’ core arguments that the procedures are necessary and lifesaving.

These revelations were made as justices heard oral arguments in the case brought by the Biden administration and the ACLU against Tennessee for a law that shields children from transgender procedures like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

The outcome of the case could have nationwide implications and affect the over two dozen states that passed similar laws. The ACLU and the Biden administration argue that Tennessee’s law is a violation of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

During arguments, Justice Brett Kavanaugh pressed Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar about the side effects of putting children on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. (Read more from “Proponents Of Transgender Procedures Make Shocking Admissions Before SCOTUS” HERE)

Biological Man Defeats Women For ‘Model Of The Year’ Title For The First Time

/1 Comment/in , /by

Alex Consani, a biological male, became the first transgender Model of the Year at the 2024 Fashion Awards on Monday.

Consani became the latest biological male to steal a woman’s spotlight when he appeared on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London, calling the moment a “big step in the right direction.” Consani has spent the bulk of 2024 participating in various runway shows, modeling for brands such as Chanel, Stella McCartney and Victoria’s Secret.

The 21-year-old walked on stage with bleach-blond hair and eyebrows to accept the title. Consani thanked “black transwomen” Dominique Jackson, Connie Fleming and Aaron Rose Philip, who “really fought for the space I’m in today,” the model said.

He also thanked his parents for supporting his dream of joining the fashion industry, adding that more parents of transgender children should demonstrate the same level of support. (Read more from “Biological Man Defeats Women For ‘Model Of The Year’ Title For The First Time” HERE)

Judge Allows State To Protect Children From Trans Mutilation

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Monday a Missouri judge upheld a state law banning transgender child mutilation and chemical castration, as well as prohibiting Medicaid from covering these medical interventions.

In a 74-page ruling, Judge R. Craig Carter ruled that the law, passed in 2023, was constitutional in the face of a challenge from three teenagers who claim to be a gender different from their biological sex, some medical professionals, and gay lobbying groups:

Gender dysphoria is classified as a mental disorder. Generally, western medicine treats mental disorders by actually treating the mental aspect, like prescribing Zoloft to treat depression. However, the gender dysphoria treatment prohibited by Missouri uses drugs and surgeries to either inhibit normal healthy human growth or surgically remove and replace healthy human organs. Such an approach to treatment is well outside normal medicine, and medical ethicists are unable to agree on the propriety thereof.

Furthermore, the credible evidence shows that a vast majority of children who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria outgrow the condition. The Endocrine Society guidelines state that approximately 85% of gender dysphoria-diagnosed prepubertal children did not remain gender incongruent later in life. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual holds that around 98% of these children do not remain gender incongruent. Essentially, it seems that all of this untested, non-emergency, possibly unethical, possibly unnecessary care would be performed on children and adolescents when the vast majority of minors would simply outgrow the condition by the time they reach adulthood.

Carter also highlighted the experimental nature of the medical interventions, noting the “almost total lack of consensus as to the medical ethics” and a “disagreement as to whether adolescent gender dysphoria and surgical treatment was ethical at all.” (Read more from “Judge Allows State To Protect Children From Trans Mutilation” HERE)

Transgender Athlete Steals Yet More Glory From Women

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .Tuesday saw the Mountain West Conference announce their volleyball awards for the regular season, and transgender player Blaire Fleming (San Jose State) was right in the mix stealing yet more glory from women.

Fleming was named to the conference’s All-Mountain West Team as an Honorable Mention, joining Spartans co-captain Brooke Slusser. Malaya Jones of Colorado State, who won the Mountain West Player of the Year, was also named an honoree.

The only two members of SJSU that received conference honors were Fleming and Slusser, most likely because they just played 12 matches on the conference schedule in the 2024 season — the other six matches they “won” due to the other teams forfeiting because they didn’t want to play against a transgender person. Fair enough.

In the Mountain West tournament, San Jose State has a bye in the first round that automatically places them in the semifinals, with their first match coming Wednesday against the winner of Utah State vs. Boise State.

What’s interesting about SJSU‘s future matchup is that both the Aggies and Broncos forfeited their squareoffs against the Spartans in the regular season. It’s not currently known whether or not the schools would forfeit again if they claim victory in their first rounder, but it’s something to pay attention to, for sure.

Biden Administration Spent Nearly $400,000 Interviewing Transgender People in India

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services spent six figures paying Drexel University researchers to interview transgender people in India, according to federal records.

Between March 2021 and February 2024, HHS paid out $389,087 to a team of academics at Drexel to perform “quantitative” interviews with 30 transgender men across Delhi and Mumbai, India’s two largest cities. Additionally, the Biden administration provided the researchers with federal funding to distribute online surveys to 300 transgender men living in those cities. The ultimate goals of the publicly-funded research project were to “inform the development and evaluation of an intervention to promote mental health” for transgender people in India and to “impact rapidly evolving transgender health and social policies in India and beyond.”

Specifically, the study investigated the prevalence of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and suicidality, among transgender people in India. It sought to understand what variables were contributing to the occurrence of those conditions. The framework used by the team of Drexel researchers aimed to “put the gender back into transgender health,” according to the grant’s description.

The researchers argued that their work is necessary because the “transgender community is experiencing major socio-legal changes that may affect mental health” in India. One of the policy recommendations made in the final report produced by the team of researchers was to implement public funding for “gender-affirmative healthcare,” including hormone therapy and sex change surgeries.

HHS has positioned itself as a champion of the transgender community under Biden, adopting a new rule in April requiring physicians and healthcare personnel to provide transgender healthcare to patients, including minors. Critics have argued that the rule doesn’t grant sufficient exceptions for healthcare providers who have religious reasons to refuse to practice transgender medical interventions.

Doctors Performing Trans Experiments on Kids Should Prepare to Be Sued in Texas and Elsewhere

/0 Comments/in , /by

In Texas, cases are mounting against physicians who broke state law by prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to minors under the guise of “gender affirming care.”

On Oct. 17, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Dr. May Lau, a pediatrician and professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The suit claims that Lau treated 21 children with hormone blockers after the practice became illegal in the state and then “falsified” medical and billing records and prescriptions to manipulate the appearance of the care she provided.

Less than two weeks later, Paxton filed another suit accusing Dr. Hector Granados, an El Paso-area pediatric endocrinologist and known “gender care” provider, of “harming the health and safety of Texas children.” Paxton’s suit against Granados alleges the physician falsified medical records, prescriptions, and billing records to “intentionally conceal the unlawful conduct in violation” of Texas law.

On Nov. 4 Paxton named a third physician, Dr. M. Brett Cooper, in a lawsuit for allegedly providing “gender transition” drugs to minors after Texas law forbade it.

In a statement, Paxton said that Texas is “cracking down” on physicians who continue to illegally prescribe such drugs to minors and “will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” (Read more from “Doctors Performing Trans Experiments on Kids Should Prepare to Be Sued in Texas and Elsewhere” HERE)
