WHY DOCTORS AMPUTATED 2 FINGERS FROM THIS MAN’S HAND, by Joshua Arnold. “In what is called the first described case of ‘digits amputation,’ Canadian doctors surgically removed two healthy fingers from a young man who was experiencing ‘body integrity dysphoria.’ The sad, bizarre account, published March 27 in the open-access journal Clinical Case Reports, is linked to surgical interventions for gender dysphoria. This similar yet distinct case underscores the dangers of gender ideology from a slightly different vantage point, one which circumvents the deceptive veil of civil rights language that conceals the harms of gender-transition procedures. A 20-year-old man said he felt ‘profound distress over his left hand’s fourth and fifth fingers,’ according to the case report.” Read more here.
EXCLUSIVE: UK PHYSIOTHERAPIST LEADERS ANNOUNCE GOAL TO ‘ERADICATE’ CRITICS, by Bryndís Blackadder. “The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), which is the ‘professional body’ and trade union which represents member physiotherapists in the UK, has launched its first ‘definitive position statement on transphobia’ … The publication has sent a chill through the profession, as anonymous whistleblowers express concerns about censorship. The ‘transphobia’ statement describes the aim of ‘eradicating [transphobia] from our profession’ by instructing members that they ‘must raise concerns about colleagues’ if they think that the colleague’s ‘personal values, biases and beliefs’ have led them to ‘discriminate’ against others, with discrimination including ‘denying’ someone’s ‘gender identity or refusing to accept it.’” Read more here.
AFTER CASS, LET’S KICK TRANS IDEOLOGY OUT OF THE CLASSROOM, by Joanna Williams. “In her review of England’s gender-identity services for children, published last week, Dr. Hilary Cass makes clear that ‘polarization and stifling of debate do nothing to help the young people caught in the middle of a stormy social discourse.’ Yet stifling debate is exactly what too many teachers have been doing for far too long. They have been punishing children for stating biological facts and abusing their position as teachers to promote a contested ideology. Worse still, activist teachers have encouraged vulnerable children to question their gender identity.” Read more here.
IS THE WAY TO ELIMINATE POVERTY TO ELIMINATE MOTHERHOOD?, by Kimberly Ells. “I just got back from the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations. The theme of the Commission this year was ending poverty. I spent a week listening to an endless parade of events focused almost exclusively on ending poverty by eliminating ‘unpaid care work.’ What is ‘unpaid care work,’ you might ask? It is work done in the home without specific monetary payment. Most people would call that kind of work simply being alive. It could also be called running your own castle. But the forces that converged at the United Nations this spring called it an atrocity. To be an ‘unpaid care worker’—especially if you’re a woman—was seen as an afront to human decency.” Read more here.
GENDER ACTIVISTS HAVE NO INTENTION OF FOLLOWING THE SCIENCE ON CHILD TRANSITIONS, by Stephanie Lundquist-Arora. “More and more are waking up to the harms of gender ideology, including the use of unstudied medications that block the onset of puberty. But while public awareness is increasing significantly, the gender ideology activists are doubling down. For the Cass report, for example, gender clinics in the U.K. colluded and tried to withhold data. And we can expect to continue to hear the usual manipulative extortion about the threat of suicide if we do not affirm children’s fad-inspired gender identities and made-up pronouns.” Read more here.
MORE PROOF ‘GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE’ IS A MONSTROUS LIE — SAVE THE CHILDREN NOW, by New York Post Editorial Board. “As ever more science debunks the myth of ‘gender-affirming care,’ how many more American kids will be victimized before our elites admit they made a terrible mistake? The latest: The Cass Report from the UK’s National Health Service recommends that no one under 18 get hormone drugs and that ‘great caution’ should be exercised with patients under 25. This, when ‘experts’ over here are still pushing not just hormones but irreversible surgery for kids experiencing gender dysphoria. Even as a 15-year Dutch study recently confirmed that transgenderism among children is largely a fad. Read more here.
