Cross Sex Hormones: Today's Recreational Drugs

Teens think that cross-sex hormones are a harmless way to express themselves. My son is not suffering from gender dysphoria or body distress.

Oh, and also, he feels more female than male because he likes rom-coms and lesbian porn. Pretty logical and makes perfect sense, right?

As part of this desire to be a woman, my son looks forward to the experience of taking hormones similar to the way someone wanting to experience acid or mushrooms in my day.

And, despite diagnoses of autism, or ADHD, despite vast numbers of people raising concerns about young people’s ability to have informed consent for life altering “treatments”, doctors will affirm and give drugs to kids like mine, even absent any history of any childhood gender confusion.

Today we encourage and even celebrate our vulnerable teens dabbling in life-altering substances.

How did we get here, and what are we going to do to stop this?
