Trump administration steps up its heinous war on trans people
In a decision which was probably inevitable taking into account the quantity of anti-Trans anti-trans administration conducts the administration of President Donald Trump, the Federal Trade Commission launched an official survey To find out if health service providers make deceptive allegations on affirmative care.
Let’s face it – there are no people where the FTC will engage in a measured assessment based on science. The fix has been fully entered since the FTC announced the Invitation workshop onlywho promised a real cavalcade of anti-trans activists, but claimed details had to be secret “For the safety of the participants.” Yes, the real victims, the truly vulnerable of us, are people who have devoted themselves to the attack on trans children, not to the trans children themselves.
Unsurprisingly, the secret workshop filled with anti-Trans people has somehow raised enough concerns for the official investigation to be justified. If you want to see the acts of this workshop to see what has been presented by yourself? Lol, no. You can read super transphobic instructions from the FTC chair Andrew Ferguson and commissioner Melissa HolyoakBut that’s about it.
Now, on the basis of the workshop that you cannot watch, the FTC is Request public comments On affirmative care, but only wants people who think it’s bad. The questions are incredibly biased, asking people to point out whether a doctor who prescribes the affirmative care in the sexes has described all risks, provided equipment from “other sources” on these risks and told them about the political controversy on such care or that certain states have prohibited this care for minors. In addition, of course, did the doctor pressure you for the transition?
Although these questions are all questions about those who have received sexual care, the FTC has made sure to include catch-all questions to solicit comments from the most enraged anti-transferable types that have no connection with the service providing the sexes. The agency asks people to point out “anyone, entities or institutions who have promoted, announced or otherwise rendered public representations” on affirmative care and if they are aware of “false representations” concerning affirmative care.
The only “false representations” made on the care affirming the genre are those made by anti-trans activists who insist that all science is wrong for … reasons. Each major medical organization said These treatments affirming sex for minors are safe. But, as the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas US c. SkremettiNo one should listen to “self -proclaimed experts” because they have “no license to counter” wisdom, equity or the logic of legislative choices “. As long as Thomas or whoever has just an atmosphere that care affirming the sexes hurts children, it’s cool to discriminate.
No one has really been able to explain how the prescription of puberty blockers for minors with gender dysphoria is dangerous, but prescribing the same for non -trans minors for things like early puberty is completely safe. It looks like science is not a conservative thing these days, right?
Instead of science, we get things like the 409 -page “report” of the Ministry of Health and Social Services on the dangers of care affirmed by the sexes. Hhs hidden The names of the authors because nothing says that you hold something like an anonymous relationship. He was criticized for his Research methodsAs the report concluded that a systematic review of evidence shows a “growing number of evidence pointing to significant risks”. But the real systematic examination of the report does not show it. Oops.
Real medical organizations showed To explain all the ways whose report was bad. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, published a statement By saying that they were not consulted for the report, but he still discussed the policies and recommendations of the AAP in a misleading manner. The execution of doctors who provide medical care to children is certainly a choice.

The only “treatment” that the report approves is “exploratory therapy”, which may seem relatively benign but is the code for conversion therapywhere LGBTQ + minors are in a hurry to be straight. Here are a few real scientific research of the American Psychological Association explaining that the therapy of conversion in fact in fact to people. Studies show that people experience a loss of sexual interest, depression, anxiety and suicidal pulses. In addition, studies show that it simply does not work and that a lasting change in sexual orientation or gender identity is unlikely.
Unfortunately, none of these real people counts. HHS does not care what science says. The FTC does not care about what science says. Donald Trump does not care what science says, and the conservatives in the highest court in the country are certainly not careful about what science says.
The solicitation of transphobic FTC comments is the perfect distillation of the Trump world. It is anti-science, ignoring each major medical organization in favor of Whatever the disinformation is published by the New York Times. It is also viciously anti-trans violencewith one in four transgender adults adage They were physically attacked and almost two thirds of the reports were verbally attacked. Forty -one percent said they were harassed or felt dangerous in the toilets and changing rooms. They also experience Generalized prejudices and discrimination.
If the Trump administration has its way, things are about to get worse.
