The Patriot Post® · In Brief: Kids Are Incapable of Making Irreversible Medical Decisions
“Every parent reading this should immediately stop and go watch HBO’s ‘Transhood’ (2020) documentary,” says political analyst Eddie Scarry. “It will enlighten, depress, and alarm you all at once, and it’s the best way to understand the crisis that’s happening with so many of America’s children.”
Thus begin’s Scarry’s very scary analysis of the real and dangerous issues related to turning children into “transgender” experiments.
The film follows four families in Kansas City, Missouri, all of which include a child who identifies as transgender. It takes place over five years. Two of the children, 12-year-old Jay (a girl who identifies as a boy) and 15-year-old Leena (the opposite), have been placed on hormone pharmaceuticals by their parents in order to suppress their natural puberty.
The other two, 7-year-old Avery (a boy who identifies as a girl) and 4-year-old Phoenix (the same) are not receiving hormone drugs but they are dressed in female clothing and referred to as girls. Avery’s hair is dyed purple and pink. Phoenix’s entire wardrobe is draped in rainbow.
In the most shocking scene, Leena, who wants his penis to more closely resemble a vagina (a procedure that literally involves splitting the phallus longways in half), visits a surgeon, Dr. Marci Bowers, who tells him, “The thing is, a penis is basically the same thing as a clitoris. Everything a girl has, a boy has and everything a boy has, a girl has.”
Bowers is a man who identifies as a woman. And he should immediately have his medical license revoked for lying to a child, encouraging him to permanently mutilate his sex organs.
Scarry recounts other scenes from the documentary — conversations between parents and children, one of whom he says is “very obviously used by his weird mother as a prop for her political activism.” And that’s just it. Homosexuality and even more so gender dysphoria are, at their root, deep insecurities that people with them feel can only be assuaged by validation from others. Recruiting others to be like them is the ultimate validation.
“The signs telling these parents that this is not okay are everywhere,” Scarry says. He concludes:
Any sane person would feel compassion for both the children and for the confused parents. But only a stupid or sick person would believe that the best way to treat a gender-dysphoric child is to affirm his or her mental state with irreversible hormone treatments and surgeries, before the child is even old enough to sign a consent form.
