By middle school, I was more concerned with being one of the bros and begging my parents to let me play tackle football than painting my nails, fixing my hair (hello awkward side ponytail phase), or crying over crushes.  <\/p>\n<p>The mere thought that I would one day become a menstruating woman filled me with dread. I thought that going through female puberty would change me for the worse, so I sobbed any time my mom brought it up.  <\/p>\n<p>By the time I turned 18, my perspective changed. I wasn\u2019t always happy with my body or my looks, but I knew who I was and how I was created. <\/p>\n<h2>Questioning Sex Is Normal. Pumping Chemicals Into Kids Is Not. <\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s natural for children, especially young girls, to feel uncomfortable in their own skin. After all, young women around the globe are subject to hordes of propaganda telling them how they should <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2016\/06\/07\/why-the-body-positivity-movement-doesnt-work\/\">look<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/11\/06\/stop-telling-me-how-to-vote-as-a-woman\/\">vote<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/09\/02\/where-to-start-if-you-want-to-get-married-but-dont-know-how\/\">act<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2017\/10\/02\/michelle-obama-says-conservative-women-dont-voices\/\">think<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s not normal is to medicate, sterilize, or bind children who express even the slightest discomfort with their growing bodies or have an <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/21\/kindergartner-claire-didnt-want-to-wear-a-skirt-one-day-mom-nbc-now-call-her-clark\/\">abhorrence to skirts<\/a>. These \u201cgender\u201d experiments often lead to\u00a0dangerous, permanent problems such as <a href=\"https:\/\/abigailshrier.substack.com\/p\/not-a-kitchen-table-issue-jen-psaki?s=r\">\u201csexual dysfunction, infertility, cardiac event, endometrial cancer<\/a>,\u201d and even <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/sex-change-regret\/\">transition regret<\/a>. That hasn\u2019t stopped a rise in harmful pediatric sex procedures that transfigure faces, chests, and even genitalia. <\/p>\n<p>Most of the children enduring these reckless procedures are too young to drive, and all of them are deemed too underdeveloped by the government to drink alcohol, yet they are somehow eligible to be pumped with chemicals that alter their very being.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe evidence underlying the practice of pediatric gender transition is widely recognized to be of very low quality\u201d a recent article in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy noted, but that hasn\u2019t stopped the promotion of it in society.  As Abigail Shrier <a href=\"https:\/\/abigailshrier.substack.com\/p\/not-a-kitchen-table-issue-jen-psaki?s=r\">noted<\/a> after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said mutilating children is \u201ca best practice and potentially lifesaving,\u201d \u201cAmerica has essentially become an unlocked medicine cabinet for gender medicine seekers as young as 15.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, any family with a kid who announces she is trans \u2014whether encouraged by peers or social media or an activist educator, or accompanied by serious mental health co-morbidities\u2014is hurled into crisis. The only thing parents know for certain is that a quick medical transition will be encouraged by virtually every adult she encounters. Far less certain is whether the family can do anything to stop it,\u201d Shrier wrote. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<h2>No Child Is Safe<\/h2>\n<p>Much like the kids who have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sexologytoday.org\/2016\/01\/do-trans-kids-stay-trans-when-they-grow_99.html\">60 to 90 percent chance of outgrowing<\/a> their woes about sex, I eventually embraced womanhood and even femininity in my later teen years.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, plenty of juveniles out there were not afforded the grace and time to outgrow the same questioning process I went through.
