Suffer the children
Some say the growing rush to label children ‘transgender’ promotes physician-approved child abuse. But speaking out against the practice provokes ire. Who will defend the vulnerable?

When Cari Stella recounts her transgender experience in a series of YouTube videos, she doesn’t shed tears, but she does talk about pain.
As a teenage girl, Stella felt a strong desire to live as a man. A therapist obliged. After three or four visits over a three-month period, and without suggesting other options, the therapist prescribed testosterone. Stella was 17. A few years later, she underwent a double mastectomy.
Stella says her family was supportive, and her workplace included transgender leadership. Her transition seemed like a success. Except it wasn’t.
Soon, Stella says, she felt worse, not better. It took a while, but she says testosterone “made me even more dissociated” than she felt when she started: It was “hard to figure out that the treatment you’re being told is to help you is actually making your mental health worse.”
After three years of hormones, Stella stopped taking testosterone and detransitioned to living as a woman. She’s still grappling with the effects of her ordeal: “I’m a real, live 22-year-old woman with a scarred chest and a broken voice and 5 o’clock shadow because I couldn’t face the idea of growing up to be a woman.”

Gender confused teen Joshua Alcorn (the child indoctrinators called him "Leelah") had so much to look forward to:
Genital mutilation, cancer, depression...
