Video being played in Judiciary Committee of the 'queer surgeon', who admits that no studies have been published on these procedures [gender affirming mutilation] and they are, "just learning, figuring out what works, and know almost nothing about the outcomes…it will be fascinating to see how all these kids turn out."
Chairman Johnson: [the 'queer surgeon'] Is a sample of barbarism. This is the mutilation of children, and it should be prohibited by law…this is adults deciding to permanently alter the bodies of children who do not have the capacity to make life-altering decisions on their own.
Scanlon: Gender affirming care is safe and effective…it's just not up for debate…access to gender affirming care is essential to the mental health and well being of transyouth.
[Scanlon is a sick, deranged monster]
Nadler: Today's hearing [gender affirming care] is an all-time low for the republican majority…I am absolutely disgusted by the republican majorities bullying, bigoted framing of an issue that would otherwise be worthy of serious discussion…I trust parents and medical professionals, not politicians, to make decisions about their children's heath when it comes to gender affirming care, and so does the Constitution.
[possibly the most idiotic statement that monster has ever said]
Scanlan [witness testifying]: When we tried to voice our concerns to the athletic department, we were told that Leah's swimming and being in our locker room was non-negotiable, and we were offered psychological services to attempt to re-educate us to become comfortable with the idea of undressing in front of a male.
Witness who de-transitioned, says the 'doctors' told her parents they could either have a dead daughter, or a transgender son.
[this is medical fraud, malpractice; indecent assault and battery on a minor]
Is Mr. Minter [witness in gender affirming care hearing] actually a woman? It says it is a 'transgender', but that person looks totally like an older bald man. What the hell is it??
Dr. Bauwens: Compared to other psychological disorders…gender dysphoria is currently being treated with the most invasive interventions connected to a psychological issue, with the lowest quality of evidence to support that practice…eighty-five percent or more of those experiencing gender dysphoria will desist if left alone…it is actually unethical to intervene.
Dr. Bauwens: A report from the UCLA Williams Institute found that forty-five percent of transgender identifying people reported childhood sexual abuse.
[that number seems low]
Hageman: Especially when it comes to children, it seems to me that gender affirming care is better described as sexual lobotomy. It is treatment that fundamentally and permanently alters the sexuality, and medical and psychological well-being of these patients. It causes irreversible sterilization, and serious long-term medical complications, and long-term reliance on pharmaceuticals.
McClintock: This is an attack on the integrity of women's sports [allowing men to put on a dress and compete against women]. I wonder why my democratic colleagues who often posture as feminists, can't see this plain truth.
[because they are literally sick; mentally disturbed]
Hunt: Once a child expresses a feeling of gender dysphoria, instead of questioning the root cause of that feeling, that child will more likely than not, be on a fast track to gender reassignment surgery, otherwise known as gender mutilation…what would happen if we affirmed every thought that our children have?
[shows graphic of food pyramid made up of ice cream, as a child would want]
Hunt: I can assure you that my four year old and my two year old daughters will not change in front of biological men. This is ridiculous. I don't care what party you are a part of; if you think that we are all equal and the same biologically, you've literally lost your mind.
Dr. Bauwens: We've also had a proliferation of gender clinics. Ten years ago, there was maybe just a few, and now all of a sudden, there are tons of gender clinics, with a really steep curve of surgical markets expected to increase.
Chairman Johnson: Do you think social media has any role in this increase in gender dysphoria?
Dr. Bauwens: Absolutely.
Cole [witness who de-transitioned]: My parents were required to sign off on these [mutilations], but it was under duress. I don't think it was really consent, it was coercion. They were given the false dichotomy of, either your child transitions, or she dies. The transition almost killed me.
