Here's What People Who Used To Be Transgender Are Telling The Supreme Court
2019-08-31
[Federalist] The Supreme Court will hear a pivotal case in October on sex, gender identity, and discrimination: R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. As both sides build their cases, numerous influential organizations and individuals have filed amicus (friend of the court) briefs to aid the members of the Supreme Court in their understanding on this topic.

One brief in particular stands out. It’s so powerful, it should not only persuade the Supreme Court but influence people on both sides of the transgender debate, particularly the mainstream media.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GENDER FLUIDITY
The brief examines the personal testimonies of the following people, all of whom identified as transgender at one point, then reverted to affirming their sex: Walt Heyer, Jamie Shupe, Linda Seiler, Hacsi Horvath, Clifton Francis Burleigh Jr., Laura Perry, Jeffrey Johnston, Jeffrey McCall, and Kathy Grace Duncan. While regular Federalist readers may be familiar with regular contributor Heyer, the other names may be unfamiliar. Yet their stories are just as powerful.

For starters, each of these people now believes, due to counseling, therapy, and personal experiences, that there is no such thing as gender fluidity or transgender. They now believe it is a fantasy many people try to make real.

#5  Every time I was tempted to get a 'cool' tattoo what stopped me was the thought: "Will I really, Really want this on my arm 20-30 years from now?" ...and a tattoo is chicken feed compared to elective surgical body modification

#3  There is a similar psychological condition in which a person believes their limb doesn't belong. The medical field decided this was a sickness and that it would be immoral to amputate healthy limbs.

When it comes to changing gender things are suddenly different how? Just because you can't pin it simply to being a limb doesn't mean it's not a similar mental issue. The suicide rates remain the same before and after suggesting that gender reassignment is not curing the problem, and playing along with the infinite gender game is discouraging active searching for solutions.

In a decade or two the psychological and medical fields will look back in shame at all the lives they wrecked by cow-towing instead of standing firm with the facts.
