Yes, legislators, you will be threatened by the gender industry, and then you'll understand what our children face when alone with it in the exam room, and what we parents face when we ask simple questions like "is there proof this is safe & effective?"

And now for the letter:

Dear Legislators:

Please vote “yes” on the Vulnerable Child Protection Act.

I’m asking this as the mother of a disabled child who—thankfully—escaped gender harm. Barely. And no thanks to my state’s legislation, which required her therapist to tell her that asking questions

about whether her disabled body was “wrong” (after hearing as much in school) indeed meant that she was in the wrong body.

No disabled child should hear that her body is wrong, but overwhelmingly that is what the gender industry sells. Disabled and neuroatypical girls are now

roughly 4000% overrepresented in the industry’s demographics.

I write to you from Oregon, which legislatively supports the gender industry to the extent that it would have taken custody away from me if it had known that I told my daughter the simple truth. What truth was so

offensive to my state that they would have put my child in foster care for my telling it? The truth that when I worked in an adult gender surgery center, and saw the suffering of its adult patients, and read the scientific literature for myself; I learned that although the

suffering of sex-dysphoric people is real, no one can change sex despite over a century of life human experimentation; and that all we’ve learned from that century of experimentation is that surgical and chemical impersonation of opposite-sex stereotypes is harmful and has killed

adult patients.

You will no doubt hear threats from the gender industry and its victims.

You’ll be told that if you don’t support experimentation upon children, they’ll kill themselves.

Those threats only show how willing the gender industry is to harm people in pursuit of

its political and financial aims. Ethical practitioners have long since abandoned making public behavior-risk claims, after discovering in the bulimia epidemic that it’s the experts’ claims themselves that contribute to social spreading of behaviors. We now know—indeed, it’s

well documented in many studies—that this social-contagion phenomenon includes suicide. Sadly, the 1 high-quality study of ADULT surgical outcomes showed that gender intervention drove their suicide risk up, not down. Focusing suicide threats now upon children is unconscionable.

Finally, you’ll also be told that if you don’t support gender exploitation of children the gender industry will hurl its substantial political wrath at you and use every trick in the book to hurt your state economically and end your political careers.

And then you will know

what children like mine, and parents like me, face when we attempt to question gender ideology in ANY way. You will understand the single-minded power that sits across from a vulnerable child like mine when she sits in the examination room of a psychologist or doctor promoting

gender experimentation. You will see the industry for what it is: Not science, not caution, but emotional blackmail and political coercion for profit. And then, when you’ve experienced the fearsome power that such coercion has over grown adults,

you will understand why it is absolutely necessary to keep children out of its crosshairs.

Thank you for your consideration.
