The author,citing a piece by M. Gessen in The New York Times, argues that such laws reveal uncomfortable truths about transgender issues, including concerns about invading female spaces and the safety risks involved. Instances are highlighted where men with male genitalia have entered women\u2019s spaces, leading to potential harm.The piece also discusses the risks of placing transgender women in women\u2019s prisons, citing cases of assault and rape, and criticizes government policies under Obama and Biden that used the military to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-bill-seeks-to-provide-abortions-trans-treatment-in-states-where-its-banned-with-new-bill-protecting-doctors\/\" title=\"California Bill Seeks To Provide Abortions, Trans Treat...t In States Where It\u2019s Banned With New Bill Protecting Doctors\">provide gender-affirming care<\/a>, which the author deems damaging and contrary to military readiness.The author condemns the impact of transgender ideology on families, emphasizing family breakdowns and what he perceives as sexual fetishism linked to some transgender identities. Additionally, the article examines the exploitation of children in \u201cqueer\u201d summer camps administering drugs and hormones, which the author describes as harmful and destructive. the piece portrays transgenderism as a denial of human biology, associating it with self-dehumanization and moral decline.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Truth finds a way \u2014 sometimes even in The New York Times. The Times recently published a long <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/08\/13\/opinion\/kansas-anti-trans-laws-drivers-license.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> by columnist M. Gessen (a woman who identifies as something other than a woman) complaining about Kansas. Gessen was angry over two state laws, one requiring driver\u2019s licenses to report biological reality, rather than so-called gender identity, and another requiring \u201cmultiple-occupancy private spaces\u201d (e.g., bathrooms and locker rooms) in government and public buildings to be single-sex. <\/p>\n<p>These statutes are, Gessen informed readers, fascist. She was determined to spin tales of woe about their effects, but ugly truths about transgenderism kept seeping out. For example, Gessen described one subject as a \u201ctrans woman who doesn\u2019t particularly try to pass \u2014 and at 6-foot-4, probably couldn\u2019t.\u201d This is meant to evoke sympathy, but instead it is alarming: Why does Gessen want hulking men who don\u2019t even particularly try to look like women to have unquestioned access to women\u2019s spaces? <\/p>\n<p>The abolition of protected female spaces is enabling predators and perverts from coast to coast. In Virginia, a convicted pedophile was <a href=\"https:\/\/wjla.com\/news\/local\/registered-sex-offender-richard-cox-fairfax-arlington-county-virginia-timeline-case-history-exposed-rec-center-womens-locker-washington-liberty-wakefield-high\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">allowed<\/a> to hang out in female locker rooms for weeks despite repeated complaints. In the Seattle area, a man with an erection was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/washington-mother-found-adult-male-showering-womens-locker-room-childrens-swim-meet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">permitted<\/a> to remain in the women\u2019s locker room during a children\u2019s swim meet. The left has literally even made a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2026\/03\/13\/swinging-dicks-spa-case-federal-judge-woke-colleagues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">federal case<\/a> out of a man\u2019s right to wander naked around a spa\u2019s female-only spaces. <\/p>\n<p>Nor are these the only female spaces Gessen wants men to invade. She conveyed one subject\u2019s fears that \u201cKansas might be placing transgender women in men\u2019s prisons.\u201d But \u201ctransgender women\u201d are men, many of whom still have intact genitalia. Placing them in women\u2019s prisons, as was done by the Biden administration and is still being done in many blue states, has predictably <a href=\"https:\/\/reduxx.info\/npr-member-station-sympathetically-profiles-trans-identified-male-accused-of-rape-at-california-womens-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resulted<\/a> in women being assaulted and <a href=\"https:\/\/reduxx.info\/exclusive-female-inmate-reports-rape-occurred-in-california-womens-prison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raped<\/a>. Yet the left is still committed to allowing rapists and murderers to self-identify into women\u2019s prisons. <\/p>\n<p>Another ugly truth Gessen let slip is that under Obama and Biden the military was used as a means to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >provide free \u201cgender-affirming care<\/a>.\u201d Recruiters were even using this as a selling point. But wrong-sex hormones and sex-rejecting surgeries are always physically damaging, sometimes debilitating. Nonetheless, trans wokeness was preferred to military readiness. <\/p>\n<p>Transgenderism is also prioritized over family. Gessen wrote of one servicemember who, before Obama changed military policy, \u201ccame out and was forced to take a medical discharge. [His] wife took the kids and left.\u201d Gessen expressed no sympathy for the wife whose husband blew up his career and their marriage \u2014 <em>you\u2019re a lesbian now, honey!<\/em> \u2014 or for the children whose father chose delusions of womanhood over being their dad.<\/p>\n<p>In Gessen\u2019s inverted morality, it is the family whose lives are upended by sudden claims of transgenderism who are the real villains. For instance, she reported on a man who changed his name to \u201cTracy\u201d and, while leaving the courthouse, \u201cexclaimed excitedly, \u2018My mother is going to hate this!\u2019\u201d The backstory is that this man \u201cwas around 13 when [he] was caught in the girls\u2019 locker room trying on someone\u2019s clothes. Things at home got tense enough that [he] ended up moving to Kansas to live with [his] father,\u201d who is now deceased. Tracy also has a daughter whom he does not see very much.<\/p>\n<p>This anecdote illuminates much of transgenderism\u2019s darkness. There is seething hatred toward those who will not go along with its lies. There is family destruction. And there is the sexual fetishism that motivates many post-puberty males to claim to be women. This was also illustrated by the above-mentioned 6-foot-4 \u201ctrans woman,\u201d who, Gessen reports, is dating a \u201ctrans man.\u201d Which is to say that a man in a dress is dating a woman pretending to be a man. It\u2019s just a sexual fetish, perhaps with some self-loathing thrown in.<\/p>\n<p>This is what adults are pushing on \u201ctrans\u201d children, who are being irrevocably harmed. Gessen reported on the start of a summer camp for \u201cqueer kids,\u201d where parents \u201cplaced their progeny\u2019s duffel bags in the designated pile and handed over their medication bottles and prescriptions to the designated staff members\u201d who would oversee the \u201corderly distribution of whatever antidepressants, A.D.H.D. medication or hormones the campers had been prescribed.\u201d Once again, Gessen\u2019s own observations undermined her pro-trans ideology. It is bad that so many of these kids are on a pharmacological cocktail, and worse that some are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/parents-sue-newsom-for-forcing-schools-to-hide-kids-transition\/\" title=\"Parents Sue Newsom For Forcing Schools To Hide Kids&#039; &#039;Transition&#039;\">taking wrong-sex hormones<\/a>. Chemically castrating teenage boys is wicked, and so is destroying adolescent girls\u2019 health with huge doses of testosterone. <\/p>\n<p>Gessen called Kansas\u2019 laws dehumanizing. But they just recognize reality. What is really dehumanizing is transgenderism, which rejects our embodied being, hating and mutilating natural, healthy bodies. Transgenderism is literal self-dehumanization. It is war with reality, one\u2019s neighbors, and even oneself. And that is a truth that is hard to hide.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Nathanael Blake is a senior contributor to The Federalist and a fellow in the Life and Family Initiative at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
