Love this! Brava! In my own experience, I can confirm that there are a lot of “smart, well-meaning people [who] HAVE NO IDEA about everything that you, Lisa, and your brilliant, courageous peers write and talk about on this subject.” Once you can get into a conversation and break that barrier, you can start to make headway. Then, the problem is, how to connect the dots to actions individuals are willing and able to do.

Would showing graphic depictions of teenaged girls w/ mastectomy scars or the forearm that has been stripped of skin and subcutaneous tissue for phalloplasty be shocking enough to get someone's attention?

Probably not the place to start with friends and neighbors, but I would sure like for the Bidens and others in D leadership to be faced directly with the consequences of what they are supporting.

Makes me wonder if Biden has a clue what he is supporting or if he has a bunch of 'trans' ideologues around him who are not forthcoming about the implications of the 'trans' nonsense.

I have to think Rachel Levine is constantly whispering in his ear. Who else would have proposed he sit down with that grifter Mulvaney, eg? Not that any of this lets Biden off the hook.

"Puberty blockers keep people trapped in puberty forever, they make it impossible to have a fulfilling adult sex life."

Follow that with, "did you know enough about your body at 13 to make that life long choice?"

If they are still listening ask them if they are aware this is an off label experimental use of these drugs.

And as Malcom Clark said during one of the Genspect Bigger Picture Conference in Killarney, going through puberty allowed him to develop mentally and grow physically out of his tortured prepubescent self. Puberty blockers effectively trap kids in their most awkward, uncomfortable phase of their lives. Why would you want to do that?
