For even the casual observer of the last decade of the Queering of the culture, watching the Biden/Harris regime arguing in front of SCOTUS in favor of the physical and chemical mutilation of children is alarming. Now toss in Hollywood celebs and it takes it to Theater of the Absurd.

“To have a transgender child has made me so much more interesting” Annette Bening, channeling the worst of Hollywood, speaks outside SCOTUS during the Skrmetti hearing.

Are bans on puberty blockers for kids constitutional?

Let’s look at that confession from Annette again:

““To have a transgender child has made ME so much more interesting”

Being gay or lesbian is just so passe. Too mainstream, too middlebrow. No one applies the stunning and brave label to the gay kid in Drama Class or the gay high school boy who announces he’s going into Fashion Design.

And for “celebrities” whose whole existence revolves around how much they appear in media, the new TrophyTransChild means being celebrated as a stunning, brave and affirming parent.

Last count there are at least 17 celebrities who are out there with TrophyTrans kids. Consider that actual transsexuals, as of 2014, made up about .53% of the population. Gender dysphoria in children was even rarer.

Gender dysphoria—formerly known as “gender identity disorder”—is characterized by a severe and persistent discomfort in one’s biological sex.8 It typically begins in early childhood—ages two to four—though it may grow more severe in adolescence. But in most cases—nearly 70 percent—childhood gender dysphoria resolves.9 Historically, it afflicted tiny sliver of the population (roughly .01 percent) and almost exclusively boys. Before 2012, in fact, there was no scientific literature on girls ages eleven to twenty-one ever having developed gender dysphoria at all. In the last decade that has changed, and dramatically. The Western world has seen a sudden surge of adolescents claiming to have gender dysphoria and self-identifying as “transgender.” For the first time in medical history, natal girls are not only present among those so identify — they constitute the majority

So the spectacle of multiple celebs with trans kids should raise a heck of a lot of eyebrows. And when there is even one gal, Heather Dubrow, with four kids, three of whom identify as “LGBTQ+” … ??!!??

Yeah, sure.

This isn’t just Munchausen-by-proxy, this is children realizing the only way to stand out from their fame-seeking parents and to get their love and approval is to be the NewThing that brings attention.

Or this:

The way we (Trans leadership) have talked about children is reckless, it is beyond reckless. The way we are … you know … the people that have done no real work with transition and are not medically transitioning are asking to go into women’s locker rooms with their penis intact and show that to women. That is crazy and you’re not seeing our class of trans leaders denounce that.

Don’t count for parents like Annette. They jumped feet first into the pool filled with Queer community fans and allies and tongue-bathing press. Their mentally compromised children get to share the spotlight with their parents, or get reality shows of their own like the mutilated boy called Jazz Jennings. A boy who will never experience sexual intimacy and pleasure and is forever the capture of a medical community who will dump him the minute he expresses any regret.

And parents like Annette, Heather, Cher, et al, will never admit they were wrong. That they acted in haste or had anything to do with the mental anguish that drove their son or daughter into the hands of butchers.

Helen Joyce said it best:

I certainly don’t blame parents who, faced with a mentally ill child, trusted the so-called modern experts who told them “would you rather a live daughter or a dead son?” and browbeat them into signing off on the mutilation of their kids. But there are too many, especially celebs, that have used their kids to affirm themselves as “more interesting.”

Pray for these children. The long-term results of being medical experiments is not good.
