The War on Our Children is Even Worse Than We Know

How can you not feel a righteous indignation along with a deep stab of pain after reading these words? How does one describe medical malpractice on this scale? Hundreds of minors have had their perfectly healthy, fully functioning, genitals removed because they were experiencing emotional confusion? But it gets worse...

The War on Our Children is Even Worse Than We Know | Articles | AskDrBrown

I’m going to omit a few words from the opening sentence of an article posted by the UK’s Christian Voice in order to drill home a point. 

The first sentence reads, “Parents in Hull have withdrawn their . . . daughter from . . . school over inappropriate content in Relationships and Sex Education.” 

And what, exactly, did these parents find “inappropriate”?

“The decision follows their discovery that the school was using a book entitled ‘Grandad’s Pride.’ The pro-gay propaganda book carries illustrations of homosexual men wearing next to nothing and women posing as men who have undergone surgical mutilation.”

It is for good reason that these parents pulled their kid out of school. Of course content like this is inappropriate for children. 

What clear-thinking adult would think that exposing young people to “illustrations of homosexual men wearing next to nothing” was a positive and appropriate thing to do?

Perhaps she was middle school age, so somewhere between 11-13? (Obviously, content like this would not be shown to younger children, right?) Or maybe she was in high school, aged 14-18? 

The opening sentence of the article reads (with my emphasis here), “Parents in Hull have withdrawn their four-year-old daughter from pre-school over inappropriate content in Relationships and Sex Education.”

Yes, this garbage was being foisted on four-year-olds. What kind of madness is this? 

And how is this not a form of child abuse?

Eventually, the school withdrew the book, apologizing to the parents, but only after defending it initially. As for the publisher, Anderson Press, Christian Voice reports that they are standing strong behind the book and its award-winning gay author, Harry Woodgate: “The publisher described critics’ concerns of ‘hidden messages’ in the book depicting a grandad wearing leathers for ‘Pride’ as ‘baseless, deeply offensive and homophobic.’”

Yes, this was one of the images in the book, that of an older man (a grandad, no less) dressed up in a bondage outfit, all for “Pride.” Concerns about the appropriateness of this for little children were ‘baseless, deeply offensive and homophobic.’”

Once again, this is a classic case of calling evil good and good evil.

As for the transgender images, in some ways these are even more reprehensible. That’s because they help further the gender confusion many kids are experiencing today, not because they are innately confused but rather because they are being confused by the society, from social media to TV and movies to the schools. 

And what is the result of this inexcusable assault on innocent little children – in this case, a school sponsored assault on pre-schoolers? 

Writing for the Daily Signal, Tyler O’Neil reports, 

“a new study estimates that more than 3,000 minors underwent transgender surgeries in a five-year period, and more than 400 of them had their genitals removed.”

How can you not feel a righteous indignation along with a deep stab of pain after reading these words? 

How does one describe medical malpractice on this scale? 

Hundreds of minors have had their perfectly healthy, fully functioning, genitals removed because they were experiencing emotional confusion? But it gets worse.

“The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study Wednesday estimating that 48,019 Americans underwent ‘gender-affirming surgeries‘ from 2016 to 2020, and 3,678 of them underwent surgery between ages 12 and 18.

In the study, Columbia University researchers estimated that 3,215 of those minors underwent ‘breast/chest surgery’ and 405 of them underwent ‘genital surgery.’ Meanwhile, 350 underwent ‘other cosmetic procedures.’”

So, 3,215 girls – minors! – had their breasts removed, along with the 405 who underwent “genital surgery.”

This is surgical barbarism, and no amount of special pleading or intellectual sophistry can justify these procedures. As the heralded Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Dr. Paul McHugh stated to me in an email on November 18, 2009, 

“I hold that interfering medically or surgically with the natural development of young people claiming to be ‘transgendered’ is a form of child abuse.”

Add to this the programming of impressionable, innocent children, helping them believe they are trans, and the mountain of guilt grows higher still.

Tragically, nothing I wrote here is either new or surprising for those of us who have been tracking these issues for years. 

But as this assault on our children continues apace, all of us must continue to raise our voices in protest – be it at the school level or in our vigilance as parents or in the courts of law or in the halls of Congress. 

It’s the least we can do for these little ones. 

As Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

As for the tiny percentage of children who suffer from gender dysphoria, the best science, along with common sense, tells us not to sterilize or mutilate them as minors. 

Procedures like this could one day give lobotomies a good name: I do my best not to overstate things, but what else can this be called but surgical barbarism?! By “this” I’m referring not only to the genital mutilation of children (in the name of compassionate, transitioning care) but also to “gender nullification” surgery for adults...

I do my best not to overstate things, but what else can this be called but surgical barbarism?!  

By “this” I’m referring not only to the genital mutilation of children (in the name of compassionate, transitioning care) but also to “gender nullification” surgery for adults.

The bad news, of course, is that here in the USA, the push to mutilate and sterilize children continues apace, urged on by the Biden administration. 

Some of this is driven by misplaced compassion and some of it (most of it?) is driven by greed. 

Procedures like this could one day give lobotomies a good name... 

An Insidious Attack on Our Nation’s Youth

I look at these kids as victims far more than as perpetrators. Had they been raised in a different environment, the vast majority of them would not be struggling with obesity or being overweight today...

An Insidious Attack on Our Nation’s Youth | Articles | AskDrBrown

Did you know that, “A new study from the Pentagon shows that 77% of young Americans would not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, using drugs or having mental and physical health problems”?

Yes, more than three out of every four Americans aged 17-24 would be ineligible for military service. 

Is this not a crisis – not so much for the military – but for these young people themselves?

“When considering youth disqualified for one reason alone, the most prevalent disqualification rates are overweight (11%), drug and alcohol abuse (8%), and medical/physical health (7%).”

These statistics raise serious concerns on many fronts. 

But let’s focus here on the subject of kids being overweight today.

According to the CDC, “Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States, putting children and adolescents at risk for poor health.”

Yet this reflects the environment in which these kids are being raised even more than it reflects their own choices. After all, if there’s not unhealthy food in the house, kids will not be eating as much unhealthy food. This is especially true for younger kids who do not have access to outside choices.

And if there was more careful parental supervision (or, better parental examples being set), these kids would not be permitted to (or, worse still, encouraged) to overeat.

That’s what makes this major health problem all the more tragic. 

“For the first time ever, more than 1 in 5 American kids is obese.

“From 2011 to 2012 and again from 2017 to 2020, rates of obesity rose for kids between 2 and 5 years of age as well as 12- to 19-year-olds, a new analysis of nationwide health survey data shows. And the uptick was true for U.S. kids of every race and ethnic background, according to study leader Amanda Staiano.”

As for the percentage of American kids who are overweight, that is obviously much higher than those who qualify as being obese (including almost one in 10 who are extremely obese). 

“What is even more alarming is these data were all collected prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other data published recently show that kids are gaining even more weight because of restrictions to their diet and activity during the pandemic.”

As for the health risks associated with obesity, especially beginning in childhood, they include “some cancers,” along with “diabetes, heart disease, asthma, joint problems, anxiety and depression.” 

“Kids are bearing the cost of this disease, and adults are paying for the added health care costs of kids growing up with diseases and needing treatment. Kids who aren't eating nutritious diets tend to perform worse in school, and so obesity affects every area of a child's life.”

Just this week, the Daily Mail shared details of a study published in the journal Nature Communications. It “showed that 18 out of the 26 cancers examined are linked to being overweight or obese as a young adult. . . . The risk was found to be notably higher the longer someone is overweight or obese as a young adult.”

A May 2023 article from the UK actually stated that, 

“The number of children and teens undergoing weight loss surgeries to treat their obesity has nearly doubled in recent years.”

Yet, to repeat, almost all of this is totally unnecessary, being the direct result of choices that are being made – although, to repeat, I look at these kids as victims far more than as perpetrators. Had they been raised in a different environment, the vast majority of them would not be struggling with obesity or being overweight today.

To be absolutely clear, though, I’m the last one to condemn another person for unhealthy eating. As some of you know, I was the poster boy for unhealthy eating for much of the first 59 years of my life. 

I had Oreos for breakfast as a boy and had a hamburger and fries at least 5 days a week while in middle school. I ate pizza daily for years and was a serious chocoholic. And as I got older, I was overweight, at times even obese.

Thankfully, the Lord graciously intervened in 2014, and I have followed a radical, plant-based diet ever since. 

As I have often shared, it has been gloriously life transforming. (The book my wife and I wrote on our journeys is titled Breaking the Stronghold of Food: How We Conquered Food Addictions and Discovered a New Way of Living.)

So, once again, I am the last one to be critical of others, especially kids. And I’m certainly glad that these kids are not starving themselves (especially the girls), becoming anorexic in the process. I’m also glad that less of them feel the pressure of having “perfect” bodies (again, especially the girls), although I’m sure that pressure remains for many.

I’m simply bringing attention to the fact that great, lasting harm is being done to our kids today, some of it irreversible, and it is all so unneeded. 

We do not have to be slaves to the American diet and the American lifestyle. 

And if God could help someone like me – a lifelong unhealthy eater, and my wife Nancy, a self-confessed former glutton – make radical changes, He can help anyone.

Can I at least ask each parent (and young person) reading this article to take a minute and read this report about a relevant, eye-opening lecture by Dr. Joel Fuhrman? Speaking in 2017 about the standard American diet, Dr. Fuhrman said, “This diet couldn’t be better designed if it was made by ISIS to kill us,”

And for those who want to dig deeper, would you at least read the introduction and opening chapter of his book The End of Dieting?

The earlier these healthy choices are made, the greater the chances of lifelong health and thriving, both physically and mentally.

Let’s do the right thing for our kids and grandkids (and ourselves). 

We Are All Aging Every Day, But We Can Do a Lot to Delay Getting Old

It may sound like an odd comment, but while talking with my son-in-law Ryan recently, I said to him, “Do whatever you can not to get old.” 

Ryan turns 50 in October and I turned 68 in March, so I understand that neither of us are kids anymore. And of course, I recognize that every day that we live we get older, and so, a long life means an old life.

I also realize that there are many virtues that can be found in old age.

There is accumulated wisdom. There is a lifetime of experiences. There is the joy of seeing multiple generations of children (both physical children and spiritual children).

We Are All Aging Every Day, But We Can Do a Lot to Delay Getting Old | Articles | AskDrBrown

It may sound like an odd comment, but while talking with my son-in-law Ryan recently, I said to him, “Do whatever you can not to get old.” 

Ryan turns 50 in October and I turned 68 in March, so I understand that neither of us are kids anymore. And of course, I recognize that every day that we live we get older, and so, a long life means an old life.

I also realize that there are many virtues that can be found in old age.

There is accumulated wisdom. There is a lifetime of experiences. There is the joy of seeing multiple generations of children (both physical children and spiritual children).

That’s why the Bible says that, “Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is attained by the way of righteousness” (Proverbs 16:31). 

And as much as we often say that it is a young person’s world today, in biblical culture, the aged were to be revered: “You shall rise before the aged and show deference to the old; you shall fear your God: I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:32).

I even wrote recently that one of the unexpected joys of growing older is that you get to see more prayers answered, some of which you have prayed for decades. The more years you live, the more you get to see God’s faithfulness!

At the same time, we often grow old prematurely, by which I mean become decrepit and weak, quite unnecessarily. We don’t take proper care of our bodies, either by overwork or neglect. And for the most part, especially here in America, we do not give our bodies the proper fuel they need to run at optimum levels, thereby hastening the aging process.

It does not have to be that way. I can testify firsthand.

Without any exaggeration, I can honestly say that I am far more fit, far more vibrant, far more energetic today, at the age of 68, than I was at the age of 59. Far more.

Nine years ago, I weighed as much as 275 pounds. I had high blood pressure. I had several headaches a week. I had constant lower back pain. I often felt groggy during the day. Yet I worked out regularly and was not a glutton.

On the other hand, I was a lifelong, unhealthy eater. And I mean lifelong.

I was a chocaholic and, if there is such a thing, a pizzaholic.

I had to eat chocolate every day, normally several times a day. I craved unhealthy foods. And even though I never ate whatever I wanted to all day and night, I was addicted to unhealthy foods. That is a plain fact.

Ironically, I was extremely self-controlled in virtually every other area of life, keeping a very intense schedule and having to make sacrificial choices for the sake of ministry on a regular basis.

But the food addictions prevailed, despite my moderation. (By “moderation,” I mean this. If I was going to have a chocolate Extreme Blizzard at Dairy Queen – alone about 1,500 calories! – I would skip lunch or dinner to make up for that. The same with a Five Guys burger with a mountain of fries. That would take the place of two meals.)

I did try to avoid fried foods most of the time. And I limited my intake of red meat (a little). But, to say it once more, I flooded my body with unhealthy foods, as a result of which I was both cutting my life short and reducing the quality of my life.

By God’s grace, and in answer to the prayers of my wife Nancy, my own prayers, and the prayers of others, I was able to make a radical lifestyle change starting August 2014.

A little grilled meat (normally chicken) about once a week.

No salt, and in general, very low sodium.

A massive daily intake of raw, unprocessed, plant-based foods, along with lots of fruits and some organic, raw nuts and seeds.

As I’ve shared before, in less than 8 months, I went from 275 pounds to 180 pounds, weighing about 182 today. And by God’s grace (I mean that from the heart; He graciously intervened in my life), this is how I live, without exception. 

As a result, I feel as if I’m getting younger every year (despite my very gray, thinning hair!). And, to repeat, while I’m not boasting about tomorrow, I feel as if I’m just getting started, functioning with the zeal and passion of a man in his 20s or 30s.

After my recent blood tests, which required 13 vials of blood and yielded almost 30 pages of data, my doctor told me that I’m in the top 0.05 percent of men my age. I am thankful to the Lord beyond words!

Eating like this (Nancy and I wholeheartedly follow the recommendations of Dr. Joel Fuhrman; see his book The End of Dieting), you can reverse heart disease as well as many other conditions (including Type 2 diabetes).

Generally speaking, I take no medications, and for almost a decade now, my blood pressure has been excellent. In fact, after my last visit to a vascular surgeon (to check on a condition that arose prior to my lifestyle change), he exclaimed, “Your circulation is really strong and your blood pressure is perfect.”

Is it challenging to make such a radical lifestyle change? Absolutely. Is it easy? Absolutely not.

But with God’s help, once you break free from the addictions and retrain your body and your mind, it’s a delight, a joy, a celebration. And as someone who travels around the world and is constantly in hotels and at restaurants, I can assure you that, with proper planning and a commitment not to fall off the wagon, you can do this.

For the sake of your families, your co-workers, your own enjoyment of life and the stewardship of your bodies before the Lord who owns you, I urge you: Do whatever you can not to get old.

(Ironically, seconds after finishing this article while flying from Atlanta to Tel Aviv, I was explaining to a flight attendant why I was eating a banana rather than another onboard snack. He confessed to me immediately that he needed to lose 40 pounds but struggled because of the American diet. I assured him that I understood, especially with all the travel too, but then encouraged him to take the radical plunge. He replied to me, “You’re an inspiration!”)

A Major Scientific Study Confirms (What We All Knew): Men ARE Different than Women

Every so often, a moment of sanity prevails in our culture, quite unintentionally. At such times, reality hits home, and most people don’t even notice it.

A Major Scientific Study Confirms What We All Knew: Men ARE Different than Women | Articles | AskDrBrown

Every so often, a moment of sanity prevails in our culture, quite unintentionally. 

At such times, reality hits home, and most people don’t even notice it. But that’s exactly what happened with the announcement of the findings of a major scientific study. 

For a split second, reality overtook ideology, as left-leaning journalists shared the results of this study without thinking through the implications.

I’m referring to the news, first reported widely on Fortune.com that, “Women are more empathetic than men, study of hundreds of thousands of people finds—at any age and in any country in the world.”

In response I tweeted sarcastically, “A major new study has revealed that ‘women are more empathetic than men.’ This leads to two startling revelations: 1) there is such a thing as women and men.  2) there are real differences between women and men. What do you know!”

Yes, presupposed in this major international study, which involved 300,000 participants, is the fact that there is such a thing as males and females. 

They really exist, and their existence can be defined, despite efforts to make “woman” (and, by extension) “man” undefinable. (Think of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s now infamous answer to the “What is a woman?” question, and see Matt Walsh’s “What Is a Woman?” documentary.)

Without this presupposition, namely, that there is such a thing as women and men, the study would have no meaning. In fact, it would be impossible even to conduct the study. Otherwise, all we would have is the difference between humans and humans. That’s it! 

We could not report on differences between women and men, since sex and gender are merely what we perceive them to be. Instead, we would have differences between humans, and the results would be, “On average, certain humans are more empathetic than other humans.”

It would be like doing a major survey comparing the health of taller people (let’s say people 6 feet tall or more) to shorter people (here, under 6 feet tall). The only way it could work would be if height was definable and tangible. But if my height was whatever I perceived it to be, so much for the study. I would have no meaning or purpose at all.

It’s the same with differences between the sexes. If sex (and, consequently, gender) is whatever I perceive it to be, then scientific studies like this are worthless. After all, if I’m a biological male who identifies as a female, then I have undermined the whole premise of the study. 

How, then, did the makers of this health study craft their questions so as to get tangible, substantive answers?

When you click on the test itself, conducted under the auspices of the University of Cambridge, you are asked a series of background questions, beginning with, “What is your age?”

This reminds us that “age” is not a matter of perception, even if we feel younger or older than our actual years. Our age is identifiable, going back to the year we were born. That is a fact.

The second question is: “What was your biological sex assigned at birth?” What do you know! 

Despite the use of radicalized leftist language, as if your sex was arbitrarily assigned to you at birth by the doctors and nurses, the survey must ask for biological reality. 

Otherwise, to repeat, the survey has no meaning at all.

Quite tellingly, in today’s upside down culture, you can’t simply ask, “What is your sex?” Instead, you need to ask what was written on your birth certificate when you were born. Your actual, biological sex matters!

Even so, the survey listed the options of: “Male; Female; Intersex; I prefer not to say; I do not know.” (Are we really supposed to believe that some people do not know if they were born male or female? We’re not talking here about the very real biological category of Intersex, where there is potential ambiguity.)

Not surprisingly, given the madness of our woke society, the next question asks, “What is your gender?” 

Here the choices are more expansive (but of course!): “Female; Male; Transfemale; Transmale; Non-binary; Other; I prefer not to say; I do not know.” (Enough said. I don’t need to make any commentary here.)

What is remarkable, though, is the test results page (I took the test to see how I scored).

Under, “Your Empathy score (EQ)” we are told that, “Most females score 6 to 16” and “Most males score 4 to 15.”

What happened to all the other categories? 

What happened to the transfemales and transmales and non-binary people?

Those categories no longer exist, displaced by differences between “females” and “males,” and that information was gleaned in question 2: When you were born, what was your biological sex? That’s what really matters.

Later, the test results page explains that, “On average, more men than women have a Type S brain type and more women than men have a Type E brain type. It is suggested that these brain types are caused by genetic and prenatal hormonal levels (2,3), as well as by environmental factors.”

Accordingly, the Fortune.com article reported that, “Females, on average, score significantly higher in cognitive empathy scores than males regardless of nationality, language spoken, and age, a massive new study published on Monday in the journal PNAS found.” And the 250-word abstract of the study references “females” 8 times – without qualification or equivocation. 

Accordingly, David Greenberg, a psychologist and social neuroscientist at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University and lead author on the study, commented, “Our results provide some of the first evidence that the well-known phenomenon—that females are on average more empathic than males—is present in a wide range of countries across the globe. It’s only by using very large data sets that we can say this with confidence,” 

My wife Nancy saw this reported on CNN in the most matter of fact way, with both the CNN newscaster and the doctor brought in for commentary seeming to forget that is bigoted and transphobic to speak of differences between women and men. In the words of NARL (the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws), “We use gender neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it is not just cis-gender women who get pregnant.” 

As I wrote in 2017 (with reference to “menstruating men”), “There is an all-out war on sexual difference (often referred to as ‘gender’), and if it wins the day, it will lead to societal chaos.”

That chaos is already here, growing by the day. But for a moment this week, quite unintentionally, reality crept back in and sanity prevailed as news outlets reported the simple, verifiable (and, widely known) fact that women, on average, are more empathetic than men.

Men and women do exist, and there are differences between the two.

Woe to Those Who Call Evil 'Good' and Good 'Evil'

It is one thing to do evil and recognize it as evil. It is another thing to do evil and call it good. As the prophet Isaiah declared more than 2,500 years ago, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20) This has happened many times over the centuries, and it is happening again in our day...

Woe to Those Who Call Evil 'Good' and Good 'Evil' | Articles | AskDrBrown

It is one thing to do evil and recognize it as evil. It is another thing to do evil and call it good. 

As the prophet Isaiah declared more than 2,500 years ago, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20) 

This has happened many times over the centuries, and it is happening again in our day.

Going back two decades, consider Dr. George Tiller, infamous for his late-term abortion practice but hailed as a hero by the pro-abortion movement. In their eyes, he was performing a compassionate service for hurting families, relieving them of the pain of bringing an unwanted child into the world.

There are articles about Tiller with titles like, “A Gentle, Compassionate Man: Remembering Dr. George Tiller,” and, “The Compassion of Dr. Tiller.” The latter article states that, “George Tiller is frequently described as ‘controversial.’ But in the tight-knit world of abortion providers and among the women under his care, he was often called a saint.”

This puts quite a spin on the word saint!

The fact that Tiller was inexcusably murdered in 2009 by a “pro-life” extremist cannot detract from his evil deeds, which included offering his clients package deals for the late-term abortion plus finger printing, baptism, and burial or cremation. 

Yes, Tiller had baptismal ceremonies performed for the babies whose lives he just ended. (This was not only widely known, but I also saw pictures of these baptisms and burials.) 

Tragically, as reported on Live Action, “A former staff member of a late-term abortion facility [meaning, Dr. Tiller’s] has admitted there was nothing wrong with over 98 percent of the babies aborted at her facility.”

In the words of a passionate pro-life leader, “Although he specialized in killing handicapped children, most of his tiny victims were late term, fully-formed, healthy, and viable outside the womb. He performed an average of roughly seven post-viable abortions per week and has admitted on tape to aborting babies a day before the mother’s due date.”

This is the man hailed by some as a saint. 

A pro-life colleague in Charlotte, North Carolina told me about an abortion doctor in the city who tithed on her earnings to her church. 

In her mind, she was doing God’s work. 

The flip side of this is that pro-life leaders who are doing God’s work by standing for the life of the unborn are branded as dangerous lawbreakers. 

What else are we to make of the FBI’s recent arrests of pro-life workers? As reported by The Federalist on October 6, “The FBI raided the home of yet another pro-life activist on Wednesday, as the federal agency ramps up its attacks on political opponents of the Biden regime. With guns drawn, agents swarmed and entered Chester (Chet) Gallagher’s Tennessee home for his role in a peaceful pro-life event that took place over a year ago outside a Mt. Juliet, Tennessee abortion facility.”

Talk about turning our justice system upside down. 

Talk about calling right wrong and wrong right.

The same thing is now happening with medical leaders who speak out against the transitioning of children (in other words, against the chemical castration and/or genital mutilation of minors). They are being threatened with prosecution by the office of the Attorney General for allegedly spreading misinformation that could lead to violence.

As explained in a letter to A. G. Merrick Garland written by Tennessee A. G. Jonathan Sermetti, and signed by 12 other Attorneys General, 

“We, the undersigned State Attorneys General, write to express our deep concern with the recent letter you received from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Medical Association, and the Children’s Hospital Association asking you to investigate and prosecute people who question the medical establishment’s current treatment of children struggling with gender dysphoria. You cannot and should not undertake such investigations or prosecutions.”

So, those raising grave concerns about the terribly misguided practice of transitioning children, which has rightly been branded medical malpractice and a massive human rights violation, could be prosecuted as criminals. As for those advocating such practices and performing them, they are the heroes who should be celebrated. Is this not what Isaiah described?

In this same spirit, California governor Gavin Newsom has become the darling of the left as he becomes more and more radical by the day.

As Mayor San Francisco, he rose to national fame by illegally issuing marriage licenses for same-sex couples.

More recently, he sparked a storm of controversy by quoting the words of Jesus (that we should love our neighbor as ourselves) on billboards posted in pro-life states, inviting pregnant women to come to his state for their abortions. 

(See here for my response, where I picture a baby asking Gov. Newsom, “Am I not your neighbor?”) 

As if this was not enough, Newsom also signed a bill that would make California a sanctuary state for minors seeking sex-change surgery and treatments, even against their parents’ will. As reported on the Daily Wire, 

“The bill also bans police from arresting or extraditing someone based on another state’s restrictions for providing gender health services to a child. The law also prohibits California officials from enforcing another state’s order that a child be removed from parents who allow the child to receive gender health services.”

There are now lawmakers who want to have parents criminally prosecuted if they fail to affirm the perceived gender identity of their child (see here and here for examples).

So, the caring parents, who want what is best for their child and recognize that medical intervention is not the best course of action for their confused and hurting minor, are the evil ones, to be prosecuted and even jailed by the government.

This Doctor Is Willing to Destroy a Child’s Future to Keep Them Happy for the Moment

A pro-trans doctor gives this shocking justification: “We try to talk about it [transgenderism], but most of the kids are nowhere in any kind of brain space to talk about it really — in a serious way. That’s always bothered me, but you know, we still want the kids to be happy, happier in the moment, right?” --- Seriously?! You will sterilize a child for life because you want them to be happier in the moment? You will mutilate their healthy body parts because you want them to be happier FOR NOW?

This Doctor Is Willing to Destroy a Child’s Future to Keep Them Happy for the Moment | Articles | AskDrBrown

Many years ago, I saw a cartoon in a magazine depicting a group of people standing around a man who was lying on the ground. 

Someone was crying out, “Is there a doctor in the house?” 

In response, a doctor appeared. But he was not the kind of doctor they needed. It was Dr. Jack Kevorkian, infamous for his support of physician-assisted suicide and with instruments of death in his hand, who came forward to help. 

This was a cruel joke back then. But in today’s world, it is not a joke at all. 

The doctor you call to help your child in the short-term might be the doctor who hurts your child in the long-term. 

In video footage obtained by the Veritas Foundation, Dr. Daniel Metzger, a “doctor with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health expressed concern about the regret that researchers are finding among young adults who transition to the opposite sex when they were children without fully understanding the ramifications.”

Dr. Metzger acknowledged the findings of Dutch researchers and others that many children who transition, upon becoming adults, regret the decision they made.

As young teens (or even younger) they assured their doctors and parents that they were fine with the prospect of not having biological children as a result of the proposed treatments, thinking they could easily adopt a child when they got older. But when the time came to adopt, they discovered it wasn’t so easy. In other cases, when they realized that having a pet dog was not the same thing as having their own child, reality started to sink in.

Yet Dr. Metzger was fully aware of this, stating that these minor children are not really capable of giving informed consent to such life-altering treatments, treatments that will sterilize them (and/or maim them) for life.

He said, “The Pediatric Endocrinology Society meeting — some of the Dutch researchers gave some data about young adults who have transitioned and have reproductive regret. Like, regret, and it’s there, and I don’t think any of that surprises us.”

How could it surprise them if they were being honest with themselves?

Really now, common sense tells us that no 13-year-old girl can fully understand the ramifications of having her healthy breasts removed. 

No 14-year-old boy can fully understand the ramifications of taking sterilizing hormones.

Not only so, but the growing number of destransitioners tells us that the practice of transitioning children is terribly wrong. And a growing body of scientific evidence confirms all this, with several countries now reversing themselves and banning the practice of transitioning children.

Why, then, does Dr. Metzger continue to advocate for this terribly dangerous practice?

He gives this shocking justification: “We try to talk about it [transgenderism], but most of the kids are nowhere in any kind of brain space to talk about it really — in a serious way. That’s always bothered me, but you know, we still want the kids to be happy, happier in the moment, right?”

Seriously? You will sterilize a child for life because you want them to be happier in the moment? You will mutilate their healthy body parts because you want them to be happier for now?

This is the kind of thinking responsible parents work against all the time, telling their children they cannot have what they want now because it is not good for them in the long run. This is what parenting is all about: having the long view, not the momentary view.

That’s why you don’t let your 6-year-old son have chocolate chip cookies for breakfast and ice cream for dinner no matter how much he cries about it. It would make him happier in the moment, but it would be detrimental to his health over the years.

That’s why you make your kids go to sleep at certain times, even though they don’t want to. And that’s why you don’t let them watch certain movies, even though they’re in tears, desperate to watch the latest hot flick. 

This is what responsible parents do. Should we expect anything less from the medical profession?
