Stop Mutilating Children, Trump Says

A commonsense executive order protects children from the transgender mind virus.

President Donald Trump is addressing the issue of transing the kids in a very direct manner. On Tuesday, he signed an executive order titled, “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.”

This EO blocks brainwashed and confused kids from inflicting irreversible damage on their bodies. This includes every kid under the age of 19.

The language of the EO is very powerful:

Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.

Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding. Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization.

Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called “transition” of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.

The damage to children is immense. There is no aspect of transgender ideology that doesn’t completely mess up a child. Even at the most basic level, social transitioning — i.e., having people call you by a different name and/or by your preferred pronouns — is allowing them to perpetuate a lie about who they are biologically and coercing others to participate in that lie.

Most kids don’t stop at social transitioning; they eventually go to a “counselor” and get put on cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers by a “doctor.” These pseudo medical interventions cause osteoporosis, brain damage, voice changes, heart problems, and/or infertility. Some users have even developed cancers.

Some people have swallowed the lie of transgenderism so much that they believe they can actually become the opposite sex. They hire butchers with MDs to lop off healthy reproductive organs, all in pursuit of “matching their outsides to their insides.”

This is all done before they reach the age at which their prefrontal cortex is fully developed. This is an important point because kids don’t understand long-term consequences before that part of their brain is fully developed. It truly is criminal, and those who allow children to go through with this madness are abusers.

Trump’s executive order also knocks the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) from its previously lauded status within federal agencies. Under previous administrations, this activist group has taken on the patina of professionalism and worn “expert status” like a skin suit. All the while, WPATH doctors were deceptively experimenting on children via selfish regulatory guidelines and otherwise forwarding their agenda without any regard for the lives they were ruining.

Back in March, Michael Shellenberger, an independent journalist and founder of Environmental Progress, released leaked internal message boards that he has dubbed The WPATH Files. WPATH has been elevated as the leading expert on so-called “transgender” care, particularly where it concerns children, yet there are hundreds of pages of messages amongst doctors, nurses, psychologists, lawyers, social workers, sociologists, et al. sharing their transparent findings from “caring” for their patients (read: victims).

This EO is a very good one. The only people protesting it are the small percentage of transactivist diehards, the hack psychologists who only care about treating trendy fads instead of treating people, the pharmaceutical companies, the purveyors of the inappropriately dubbed “gender-affirming care” (such as Planned Parenthood), and leftist journalists.

The only problem is that this EO will invariably be challenged in the courts. There is some hope, however, that the Republican-controlled Congress will take the lead on this issue. After all, the House just passed the Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act. Next, lawmakers should craft legislation protecting children from medical experimentation and mutilation.
