August 1, 2023 Dear Friends, Last week, the U.S. House Judiciary committee held a hearing to address the concerns surrounding child transgender medical interventions to highlight their potential dangers. Chloe Cole, a 19-year-old detransitioner who underwent a double mastectomy, gave testimony - similar to testimony offered here in a Louisiana House Health & Welfare committee - documenting the medical experimentation she endured as a recipient of gender-affirming care.” “It’s caused permanent changes to my body. My voice will forever be deeper, my jawline sharper, my nose longer,” she said. “My bone structure is permanently masculinized. My Adam’s apple is more prominent. My fertility is unknown. I look in the mirror…, and I feel like a monster.” “My childhood was ruined, along with thousands of detransitioners that I know through our networks,” Cole said, who began her “transition” at the age of 12. Then, Paula Scanlan, a former swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke about how she and her teammates were required to change in the women's locker room with male swimmer Lia Thomas by school athletic officials "18 times per week." Ironically, Tennessee Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen proposed implementing "some type of barrier in the women’s area of the locker room" to separate female athletes from men who “identify” as women. It’s unconscionable that so many girls have been victimized by gender ideology! Just today, a New Orleans physician bemoaned the impact of Louisiana’s new law forbidding that practice, and announced his departure to a more favorable state of insanity… New York. Pray for these children, our lawmakers, and the voting population to right these injustices! |
