Battle of The Human Factor vs. The Medical Mafia
Kanas Governor Laura Kelly exercised her first veto of the year on February 11, 2025 regarding Senate Bill 63 the Help Not Harm Act which is a ban on youth gender-affirming care recently passed by the Kansas Legislature. I know the odds of this getting published are small. I know this opinion will most likely be viciously attacked. Here in Kansas mine is a fringe minority opinion. In the whole of the 50 states, however, clearly that is not the case. Nevertheless I do have a right to say what I think with “freedom of speech” and all that. After all, not everyone thinks the same way. That is true diversity which we all claim to embrace.
My stance derives from my personal experience and not some nebulous yearning to be politically or rhetorically correct. It may be neither. I remember growing up hearing about healthcare gone wrong. There was a new medication introduced to battle morning sickness among pregnant women. It later became a scandal when it was discovered the pill affected the baby and many children were born horribly disfigured. OOPS! Sorry! This is an analogy of what I think is going on here with gender affirming care. It may prove in hindsight to be a similar situation.
Back in early 2017 I was “schooled” by a group of young college students about something I had said to them. They showed my ignorance to be embarrassingly obvious. It was about gender affirming care. They said “If you support this then you are a danger to yourself and others.” They were outraged and felt that I was being cruel, that I had no idea what they were going through and the least I could do was be humane. My surface knowledge of the practice gave me an attitude that was harmful to the kids who heard me speak and that I better SHUT UP. One of the older ones took me aside and told me what I didn’t I know; that these girls were traumatized after they just had their breasts removed. One of the boys got implants.They had come back from surgery and regretted it. They immediately knew upon waking up that they had made a grave mistake and it was permanent. Their lives were ruined. It was the clinic at SMU and UTD in Dallas that was performing these operations for minors, and treating patients with medication as young as 3 years old. I believe this is still going on today. They felt they were permanently maimed, and felt even more dangerously depressed to the point of panic. They were more confused than ever and terrified of what the rest of their lives would be like now that they were a “medical freak”. They didn’t want to live. I don’t know what happened to them because I moved out of that house a month later. I can only imagine.
That was 8 years ago. Even now, many clinics still exist and many of the current and former patients cumulatively are still in a lurch. Regrets are one thing but this is a permanent solution to what they discovered a few years later was a temporary state of mind, a symptom perhaps of their adolescence or ptsd. This is not good. Same sex attraction has always been a part of society as far as I remember. Not a large one but nevertheless we knew some men were attracted to men and some women were attracted to women. I had a relative that was. But, did they have to cut off their female body parts? No. Did the boys submit to being castrated and get breast implants? Nope. So why this? The “medications” make them sterile for the rest of their lives and shortened their life span. They haven’t fully matured yet. It doesn’t make sense. Their parents said they were depressed as teenagers and so they took them to a doctor who suggested they have “gender dysphoria” and it can be surgically cured otherwise they will commit suicide. Is this a reasonable solution to adolescent depression?
It’s become a fad, a made up “science”, a mindset dogma, even perhaps a cult. Whatever it is the fact it is so widespread now, It’s completely unethical and a deliberate doctoring of the human body particularly on a child who has not reached the age of majority yet. And, for what gain? There is no gain. Except the facilities gain because they get to bill medicare, so there’s that. And the pharmacy makes money because he has a lifelong customer.
I remember several years ago in the UK and in Australia it was ordered to stop all “gender affirming care” and shutter all clinics due to a published study that proved the medical harm this type of “care” to minors actually causes and that there was no evidence of benefit to justify the harm. Is there ever justification for permanent harm? These kids didn’t think so. They don’t trust the older generation for what they felt they were lured into and I completely understand that. This is dystopian. No wonder they don’t trust us adults. We are ignorant! Besides; isn’t DO NO HARM the mantra for the medical profession to begin with? Or was that just a fad?
If the stalwarts of political and rhetorical correctness have their way this veto will stand. If they don’t then this bill be enacted and will create a ripple effect, at least across Kansas. Tennessee has already done it as have other states. You have to safeguard and protect yourself, vulnerable children deserve bodily safety and all of life should be nurtured. That doesn’t require choice, just compassion. You are a living sentience and divine in origin. You are not disposable. Mankind will endure beyond this dystopian world view our elected leaders pretend is reality. Wake up and smell the present tense. It’s waiting for your engagement.
