when you lost Andrew Sullivan

While the Pope (PBUH DUH) is promoting the gender confusion fad (not meeting with trans people but meeting with activists pushing this agenda), the good news is that some people still are protesting this evil fad that exploits naive kids (boys who are gay and girls who are autistic and easily persuaded that surgery will cure their dysphoria).

Since the normal voices of morality have been muted out of politeness or to go along with what they think is popular opinion, some unlikely voices have cried out in the wilderness to object.

Of course there has been punishment for their crime of heresy against the latest fad: e.g. Jordan Peterson lost his license and Harry Potter's mom is ridiculed and boycotted by the woke.

but the real question is why so many who should have opposed this fad stayed silent. Was it out of charity, i.e  seeking to be polite, or is so they won't be   called a bigot? Or is it because they are bowing to the "experts" who silenced them by shouting "SCIENCE" to support this fad. 

 So the radicals continue to push this on the innocent with few willing to say: the emperor has no clothes.

But slowly there has been pushback from organizations that actually sought the truth behind this fad..

The first pushback was when the UK issued the Cass report. which, as the Economist noted  

 The Cass Review damns England’s youth-gender services The largest review ever undertaken in the field of transgender health care is out. It is damning of practices that were commonplace in England until recently and remain widespread in other countries, notably America.

italics mine.

One would think that the Cass commission would have settled the problem, but here in the US the Biden/Harris administration is continuing to push the agenda.

and the poster child for pushing this is Dr Levine, who got her job by being openly trans, even though she promoted the policy to admit infectious covid patients into Pennsylvania nursing homes, which resulted in an estimated 20 thousand dead elderly people. (while removing her own mom from a nursing home to keep her safe).Newsweek article here.

And despite it being election year, and despite the unpopularity of this policy among normal folk, the Biden administration continues bullying and trying to silence anyone who says no.

So again, when the medical associations and famous medical journals and gay activist community stay silent, again there is now another small voice that stands in the way to shout STOP.

  Andrew Sullivan, a well known gay activist/political commentator, dares to point out the fraud and lies behind this government policy, and cries shame to the Gay community for it's silence in this matter,

 

headsup from Instapundit who links to his blog:

ANDREW SULLIVAN: Rachel Levine Must Resign: A case study in politics and ideology overruling science. With chi ldren as victims.

 

“The broad contours laid out in the brief were already known. But, with discovery, the specific details of private, internal emails make this medical scandal even more vivid.”....

But the discovery from a lawsuit against the State of Alabama over its ban on the medical sex reassignment of children has left me reeling. It shows a staggering level of bad faith from the transqueer lobby, and, also, from Rachel Levine — the Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS. Read the amicus brief here. Everything in this piece is based on it....

go to his blogpost for more details. 

An internal email from the Hopkins team concluded that there was “little to no evidence about children and adolescents.” Many WPATH members, we discover, also knew the studies would “reveal little or no evidence and put us in an untenable position in terms of affecting policy or winning lawsuits.”

Italics mine.

so thank God for lawyers willing to sue these organizations for the victims misdiagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition that in most cases is a temporary condition and in other cases is simply that the child is gay and needs help to cope with his sexual orientation.

There is a reason that so few dared to be a whistle blower? the story of this physician should frighten any doctor who dares to oppose the Biden administration's policy:

As a non woke Catholic (and ex missionary) I wonder about the silence of the churches: lots of talk of compassion and acceptance but no talk about how easily children can be groomed by sexual predators and those who have an agenda.

That is why I am angry at this Pope: 

True, Pope Francis has condemned the gender agenda, but last week his actions directly contradict his previous comments. Meeting with activists, who then go out and proclaim he backs them and plans to appoint trans friendly bishops to help push this agenda.

In case you are wondering what that last part is about: Well, it's about those pesky American bishops, not all of whom are supporting his change the church agenda.

The US bishops meeting plans to investigate why US Catholic hospitals have been found to be doing this type of surgery (which is forbidden under Catholic law which forbid  removing normal organs for social reasons). I suspect that the usual woke bishops will stop this from happening. But at least some of the Catholic bishops in the USA are trying to stop it. LINK 

I have less hope here in the Philippines where the elite  activists in the Manila gay scene and US State Department pushes the gay agenda on the Philippines and other poor countries. 

Here in the Philippines, being gay or trans or a cross dresser is not a big deal: Sort of like the men with second wives, tolerated as long as their actions don't destroy the extended family that is the basis for Filipino society.

The bishops are so busy saying acceptance and compassion that they are blind to such manipulation by American backed activists and American inspired liberal Protestant churches, and don't realize that their inability to condemn the gender agenda which is anti family, has resulted in driving many Catholics to join Bible believing Evangelical churches.

This fad started after I retired to the Philippines and stopped practicing medicine, but you know, in 40 years of being a physician, although I saw many gays and many children, mainly girls, sexually exploited, I never saw a case of transgender. Maybe because I worked with the poor and/or minorities who tend to be socially conservative, and the fad seems to be more common in upper middle class white folk. Or maybe it is because of the autism epidemic which has exploded in the last 30 years means these kids are more vulnerable.
