Who would have thought that convincing thousands of vulnerable children that they can change their gender via an expensive, irreversible, and experimental process might have consequences? Hopefully, anyone with common sense.

Unfortunately, common sense is in short supply among the activist groups and mainstream institutions that have forced gender ideology onto the public over the past several years. And now, the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost.

In a lengthy piece for the New York Times this month, columnist Pamela Paul admitted the radicalism of gender ideology is hurting America’s youth. She recounted conversations with several detransitioners, those who identified as a gender different than their sex only to accept their biological reality later on, who had been convinced that the only solution to the mental and physical discomfort they felt was an immediate transition. And yet, almost all would now agree that their transition, which they will never be able to undo fully, made things worse.
