Corporations, however, too often seem to forget that \u200bnot saying anything\u200b is an option. But Vampyre Cosmetics is clearly playing to a different audience \u2064\u2014 the same one that <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/04\/faced-with-rainbow-mobs-republicans-have-insurrectile-dysfunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">terrorized<\/a> state \u2063capitols\u2062 in Tennessee, Montana,\u2064 Kansas, Kentucky, Florida, Oklahoma, and \u2063Missouri for the sake of\u200c child access \u2063to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-senators-warn-doj-not-to-police-speech-against-transgender-surgeries-on-children\/\" title=\"Republican Senators Warn DOJ Not to Police Speech Against Transgender Surgeries on Children\">irreversible transgender procedures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper didn\u2019t\u200b say anything that was remotely disparaging of \u2062trans people. The singer simply questioned the left\u2019s \u2063proclivity to affirm child gender \u2064dysphoria \u2014 or\u200d simply to cultivate confusion. In other words, he committed thought\u200d crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, transgenderism is \u2064the\u200d only area of modern \u200bmedicine where the \u200cpatient guides the so-called treatment. The compassionate standard of care for anorexic teens, for\u2064 example, is not to \u201caffirm\u201d body\u200b dysmorphia by calling patients fat and recommending them for liposuction. The response is intensive therapy\u200b to guide the patients to reality.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>About\u200c the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Tristan Justice\u200b is the western correspondent for The Federalist and the author of Social \u2064Justice Redux, a conservative newsletter on culture, health, and wellness.
