The Times runs another generic “they’re going after the trans folx!!” piece, disguised in the usual way as being about the LGBTQ.

Since far-right social media activists began attacking Boston Children’s Hospital over the summer for providing care for transgender children, the hospital has received repeated bomb threats.

No, the issue wasn’t “providing care.” That’s worded to make it sound as if Nazis protested a hospital’s treating children for Covid or pneumonia or other diseases. Boston Children’s was (and I assume is) providing “gender-affirming surgery” and bragging about being the first to do so.

Doctors across the country who do similar work have been harassed. 

Doctors who cut off children’s and teenagers’ breasts or penises have been “harassed”? Is it really harassment or is it saying “stop mutilating children and teenagers who’ve been confused by a hideous destructive fad”?

The Times shows a large photo of protesters with signs saying “say NO to males competing as females” with the caption “Demonstrators in Washington in June protested the inclusion of transgender women on women’s sports teams.” Inclooooosion; how could anyone protest incloooooosion? Why would women not want to inclooooooood men in their sports? Just a few men, that is; it wouldn’t do to have too many or then it would just be men competing against men again and the whole point is to give a select few men the fun of cheating women out of their own sports. The Times of course doesn’t so much as whisper anything about all that.

Conservatives say they are trying to protect children from irreversible treatments and ensure women’s sports remain fair; in midterm election ads, right-wing groups argued that transition care amounted to “radical gender experiments” and that allowing transgender athletes to compete on teams matching their gender identity would “destroy girls’ sports.” 

Liar liar liar liar. Much of the left is besotted with the trans ideology, yes, but not all of it.

(The treatments offered to transgender children are endorsed by medical associations and have been shown to reduce suicide risk, and few transgender women and girls seek to participate in women’s and girls’ sports.)

So the fuck what? So what if few men seek to participate in women’s and girls’ sport? One is one too many. It doesn’t become ok because not many men do it, and in any case it will become more and more men doing it over time.
