Robert Knight began his Dec. 10 WorldNetDaily column with the usual right-wing anti-transgender screed:
About half of America’s 50 states arguably care more about children’s well-being than about being sufficiently “woke.”
That’s why they don’t embrace gender insanity and instead ban giving minors puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones and irreversible surgeries that cut off healthy body parts.
The U.S. Supreme Court this past week heard arguments over Tennessee’s law barring trans treatments for minors.
Knight then took a detour to misinform about a particular case:
Why then is it OK to treat natural puberty like an illness, and to cut off a girl’s healthy breasts or to castrate a boy?
This is evil on stilts or the kind of misguided “compassion” that has caused so much grief to so many. You can understand how some parents, told that their child will commit suicide if they don’t go along with the fiction, become enablers – out of love.
They, and the affected child, deserve real compassion, not codependency in the delusion.
Some things are beyond even a parent’s prerogative, such as committing child abuse. But all too often, insanity prevails.
A case in point: A California judge ruled in November against a Texas father, granting his estranged, pediatrician wife the authority to castrate their 12-year-old son James, whom she calls “Luna.”
The mother calls it “gender affirming care.” When language is altered to advance a desired outcome, you can bet evil is afoot. Many mainstream organizations, including corporations, colleges and even the American Academy of Pediatrics, have bought into the madness.
The ConWeb loves lying about this case to portray the father as a victim. As we’ve documented, the father, James Younger, lost custody (he and the mother are divorced, not “estranged”) because he has failed to pay child support and also violated a court-imposed gag order by being so aggressively public about the case, posting pictures of the child online and defaming the mother.
Knight concluded with more transphobia, likening doctors to perform gender transition surgery to Nazis:
Here’s another thing to keep in mind. Josef Mengele and other Nazi doctors conducted hideous experiments at Auschwitz on Jews and other prisoners. These included sex-change operations and organ removals.
Mengele escaped, was never tried at Nuremberg, and died in Brazil in 1979, according to Britannica.
Right now, I’d settle for Congress passing a national law to criminalize this current rash of child abuse and put the perps behind bars.
Seems like maybe that violates WND managing editor David Kupelian’s inconsistent and hypocritical policy about portraying people as Nazis.
