If you close your eyes, you can tell there’s more than meets the eye with Chase Strangio. She now, with the help of modern medicine, presents as a man but has written before that there is no such thing as a “male body.” Given her efforts to present herself as a man, you might think she’s lying, if only to herself.
She will be arguing before the United States Supreme Court that Tennessee’s law protecting children from permanent mutilation is unconstitutional because the child’s parents consent to the treatment.
Strangio actually argues in this clip that children as young as two years old might know they are in the wrong body.
And this is the weirdness of the trans-movement. For years, we were told gay people “are born that way,” and any attempt to convert them into heterosexual habits is bigotry. The trans movement now argues that trans people are born the wrong way and we are bigots if we object to converting them.
Instead of therapy to align their brains with their bodies, we are told that they need drugs and possible surgeries to align their bodies with their brains. Now, they argue that it is even appropriate for children to have their bodies surgically altered or pumped full of high doses of drugs to forestall puberty and risk permanent sterilization. Strangio even argues that the doctors who support gender transitioning are the ones in the mainstream.
Parents who leave bruises on their children, disciplining them, are abusers, and parents who do not permanently disfigure or sterilize their children, sacrificing them at the altar of the trans-agenda, are also abusers. The heroes are the ones who drug or surgically alter their children with the help of doctors.
It is all a perversion of reality. Strangio, by the way, wants to shape this reality by banning books. Though an American Civil Liberties Union attorney, Strangio tweeted her opposition to Abigail Shrier’s book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, stating, “[S]topping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on.”
In other words, Strangio believes one way to advance the trans movement is censorship. The other is to convince the United States Supreme Court that parents and doctors stopping a human being from naturally developing is good and protecting that human being’s natural development is bad.
The world is upside down, and this issue has no middle ground. We either upend reality and biology or refuse to give in to the madness. The trans-movement’s argument is premised on bullying and silencing ordinary Americans while relying on an elite, just rejected by American voters, to give license to lies.
We must continue to say no.
The truth is truth, even if it might upset others. Just close your eyes and listen.
