PG on Nostr: “There’s a difference between granting people their rights and their humanity and ...
“There’s a difference between granting people their rights and their humanity and respecting them, and respecting whatever they want to be called, and facilitating young children and teenagers into irreversible medical transitions based on very little evidence,” Ms. Daum says. Since the establishment has framed this as “Gay Rights 2.0,” she adds, all debate about the ethics and medical efficacy of this care is framed in terms of bigotry instead of science.
Republican politicians are likely taking up this issue because polling suggests it’s a winning cause with the American public. Nearly 70 percent of Americans oppose giving puberty blockers to trans-identified children ages 10 to 14, and 58 percent oppose hormone treatments for teenagers.
For now, the main groups on the left taking up the fight against transgender inclusion in these areas are still radical feminists — so-called TERFs. A Women’s Liberation Front co-founder, Lierre Keith, a self-described radical feminist, tells the Sun this is making for strange bedfellows with Republicans in her activism. Her organization recently partnered with the conservative Independent Women’s Forum on helping to pass the House’s “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.”
“Yes, the dam is breaking, but the dam has been being worked on for so long by these radical feminists,” founder of Sovereign Women Speak, April Morrow, a radical feminist, tells the Sun. “The reason it’s breaking now is because more people are getting involved and that’s what the radical feminists needed. … It’s going to take the Christians and the Republicans and the homeless Democrats.”
