The New York Times has launched into a deep dive following the 2024 election, attempting to ascertain why Vice President Kamala Harris found herself on the losing end of the political spectrum. It turns out that her feeble stance on transgender ideology played a significant role in her defeat. The former president even weighed in, suggesting that the Harris campaign might not have grasped how seriously voters were taking this issue. Apparently, they believed the narrative spun by Trump’s ads had little to no impact—a notion that has since been disproven.
It’s no secret that Americans are growing weary of the left’s obsession with promoting transgender ideology at the expense of biological truths. The Democrats have pushed for radical policies, including allowing children to undergo “gender-affirming” surgeries, often with no parental consent. As voters cast their ballots, they sent a clear message: they’re tired of this nonsense infiltrating every aspect of society. The mounting backlash is illustrated by a recent ruling in Missouri, where a court upheld a law that bans so-called “gender-affirming” care for minors. This decision came after a relentless pushback from radical activists who seem to believe they can dictate medical norms.

Wright County Circuit Judge Craig Carter stated there’s a significant lack of consensus in the medical community regarding the treatment of adolescent gender dysphoria. In other words, the supposed scientific backing for these procedures is as shaky as a tightrope walker on a windy day. Meanwhile, Missouri’s Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey made it clear what many are thinking: this so-called “care” is nothing short of child mutilation. His office’s extensive efforts to expose the lack of evidence for these irreversible procedures deserve a round of applause.
Amidst this turmoil, Missouri became a hotbed for discussions around transgender surgeries for minors. Jamie Reed, a former healthcare worker at a pediatric transgender center in St. Louis, brought attention to the alarming practices she witnessed during her tenure, calling them “morally and medically appalling.” Reed’s revelations about her experiences working with hundreds of youth questioning their gender identities underscore the need for serious scrutiny of these practices. It raises the question—what kind of medical ethics are at play when professionals feel pressured to stifle doubts about the care being provided?
Reed’s description of the environment where anyone voicing hesitation was swiftly deemed a transphobe paints a concerning picture of how ideology often clouds judgment in the medical field. Her assertion that the approach felt like “building the plane while flying it” suggests a reckless disregard for the potential consequences faced by young people. With recent judicial decisions and powerful testimonies surfacing, it becomes increasingly evident that Americans are demanding a rollback of the radical ideologies that have invaded their lives. The 2024 election was merely a confirmation of what many already believed: it’s time to restore common sense to the conversation.
