Feminist author: Giving kids transgender hormones is ‘criminal’

Image
In a surprisingly aggressive stand against the politically correct tide, feminist bestseller Camille Paglia asserted that transgender puberty blockers for children are "a criminal violation of human rights." "I condemn the escalating prescription of puberty blockers (whose long-term effects are unknown) for children,” she flatly  stated , adding, “I regard this practice as a criminal violation of human rights." Paglia, who is a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, attributed the rise of transgenderism in the West to decadence and cultural collapse, according to an interview she gave on  Brazilian television . “Nothing ... better defines the decadence of the West to the jihadists than our toleration of open homosexuality and this transgender mania now,” Paglia  said .

Two years ago, at his urging, his family took him to see a therapist in New York who specialized in what court documents refer to as “ Sexual Orientation Change Efforts .” According to John Doe, the therapy has helped him. In his words, “every day would get a little better.” We know this because his family is challenging a New Jersey law that, like a similar law in California , “ban[s] licensed counselors from engaging in talk therapies that reduce the level of same-sex attractions in minors for whom such reduction is a personal goal.” As we’ve previously pointed out here on BreakPoint, not only is so-called “reparative therapy” controversial, its efficacy remains unproven.
