The Democrats’ Transgender Children’s Crusade

Of all the terrible, awful things the Democrats have done to us, what they have done to our children is, by far, the worst.

The Transgender Children’s Crusade

With its vision of autonomous young people in touch with their innermost desires, gender identity negates all we know about growing up.

If you’re unfamiliar with Jazz Jennings, you’re missing one of the paradigmatic characters of early-twenty-first-century America. Jazz—this isn’t her birth name, for reasons that will become clear—was a boy born to a southern Florida couple in 2000. Nothing was unusual about his infancy; but by the time he was two, he was showing a marked preference for clothing and toys ordinarily chosen by girls: mermaids, princesses, all things pink—the whole shebang. Soon, he began insisting that he was a girl. His mother remembers him asking when the good fairy would come and turn his penis into a vagina. His “gender dysphoria,” as the medical world calls an emotional alienation from one’s sexed body, continued to trouble him until his parents decided to let him adopt a new name and pronoun, wear girl’s clothes, and present himself as a girl, a process known as social transition. At his fifth birthday, he debuted his new identity: “I got to wear the sparkly bathing suit for my party. I was a girl,” Jazz recalled later.

Transphobia in the United States is said to be ubiquitous and deadly, but for Jazz and family, transition presented extraordinary opportunities. In 2007, Jazz and her mother were interviewed by Barbara Walters. After that, a documentary, I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition, aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network. A best-selling book, I Am Jazz, was next; it has a place on the shelves of school libraries around the country and an award from the American Library Association, and it has been the occasion for public readings in schools, churches, and other community centers. In 2015, Jazz’s career reached its pinnacle. The TLC network launched a reality-show series starring Jazz and her family; it’s now in its eighth season. That year, Johnson & Johnson also named Jazz a spokesmodel for its Clean & Clear skin-care line. In 2018, she designed a bra in partnership with Knixteen, a teen underwear company. She is a much-in-demand LGBTQ influencer, with millions of followers on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. She was signed by Creative Artists Agency, representatives of Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, and other A-listers. The coup de grace in her rise came when she received an acceptance letter to Harvard. We don’t know how much she has earned from some of these seemingly lucrative enterprises, but it’s safe to say that her Harvard tuition shouldn’t be a problem.

Still, throughout this heady time, the shadow of puberty loomed over Jazz and her brand. At 11, the soon-to-be reality-show star started “puberty blockers.” An implant was placed in her arm to block the testosterone that would naturally deepen her voice and grow her facial hair. A few years after that, she began what will likely be a lifetime regimen of estrogen to feminize her features. The culmination of her transition came in 2018 as she prepared for her gender confirmation surgery, colloquially known as “bottom surgery” but more technically called vaginoplasty. During the procedure, doctors would castrate the 17-year-old, and create an artificial vagina. In celebration of the impending operation, Jazz’s mother threw a “Farewell to Penis Party” for friends and family. Everyone cheered as Jazz cut the cake. And yes, it was a penis cake.

The party was partly an escape from serious worries. Surgeons generally use tissue from the penis to sculpt a new vagina. But because Jazz had started puberty blockers at such a young age, the penis in question remained too small for the job. Doctors planned to take tissue from her stomach lining to complete the vaginal construction. The surgeon conceded that the surgery involved some risks, including internal hemorrhaging and damage to the intestine; sure enough, four days after the operation, Jazz experienced “crazy pain.” It seems what surgeons call her “neovagina” had split apart. To fix the problem, she would need two corrective surgeries.

Though she denied that it had anything to do with her transition, after her surgeries she fell into a depression and had to defer her college admission. Over the next two years, she gained 100 pounds due to a newly diagnosed eating disorder. Last we heard, though she had begun her college education, her libido is “basically nowhere”; she has never experienced an orgasm and likely never will. “This has been a real journey, hasn’t it?” her doctor said in an episode filmed after the surgery. That’s one way to put it.

Jazz’s journey captures many features of a strange turn in coming of age in America. It’s not that many kids sign up for bottom surgery; on the contrary, those numbers remain extremely small. But trans and “gender questioning” minors have been joining a little-understood revolution in striking numbers. The “gender journey,” the search for one’s “authentic” gender identity, is reshaping the biographies of the susceptible young into a radical and damaging new form. The crusade has been urged on by social and corporate media and their celebrity representatives, endorsed by a shockingly complicit medical establishment, promoted by educators, advanced by judges, and applauded by politicians at the highest levels. (“Incredibly brave transgender children,” is President Biden’s characterization.) Whether they realize it or not, supporters are showing a willful ignorance about child nature and endorsing views completely at odds with child psychology and legal and cultural traditions. In the process, they are undermining children’s understanding of, and parental confidence in, the most basic human realities.

Children like Jazz who are profoundly alienated from their own sexed body and try to take on a new identity as the opposite sex are not new. They have, however, been few and far between. Wanting to fit in with other kids of their new sex, they tended to keep their transition on the down low. They approached their desire with a foreign mind-set from today. The point of the transition was not to live as “trans” but to “pass” as their chosen sex.

If you destroy the next generation (the little ones) you destroy the people you are trying to conquer.

Most of those that advocate turning children into surgically-altered, mutilated, maimed, disfigured and deformed freaks and mutants for life, clearly have no children of their own. And of course it’s not for the children’s benefit in the least, but rather to jack up the numbers of the “LGBTQ community” in part to inflate their political representation – yet also to create future killers like Audrey Hale.

The Democrats’ advocacy of all this means we no longer have any moral right to lecture Muslim nations on FGM towards young girls. I’m surprised any of the 57 such nations hasn’t done a Bukele yet on that.

Interesting that the story says nothing about the child’s parents. I seriously doubt that this little boy wanted on his own to be a girl and showed more interest in girl things than boy things at age 2. Being the mother of two girls and having observed children at play I was incredibly struck very early with how different little boys are from little girls. Every mother I know has noticed the same thing. If this little boy wanted to be a girl at age 2 I suspect it had a lot to do with his mother and father and the type of nursery schol environment to which he was exposed, if at all.

The problem with kids like Jazz is that they now remain eternally weird, not belonging to the one or the other! They could never ruminate with females discuss the period or getting pregnant, nor with boys who talk about their coming of age changes and conquests…..
