She was telling me that the number of kids that they picked up because of things like “psychotic breaks” (her words) had skyrocketed when the medical establishment started handing out Paxil and Zoloft “like candy” to kids. In the 1990’s, I worked with a lady who was also an EMT as a second job. Coincidence?Įlliot Page looks handsome in newly shared photo by the pool. On Monday, the day after this report from 60 Minutes, the celebrity transgender figure, Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) released a shirtless photo. Having your breasts or testicles removed is not like getting a tattoo that you can remove later in life. The young people featured in this report have brains that are not even finished developing but have made irreversible changes to their bodies. But on Sunday, CBS’s 60 Minutes did something even worse-the primetime show decided to air a segment that, while ostensibly addressing the Republican-led assault on trans young people’s health care, ended up focusing heavily on the favorite topic of conservatives who would like nothing more than for trans people to not exist, and who wish to paint transition as a painful, regret-suffused process-people who have detransitioned. This is not an issue that needs both-sidesing. Jezebel called the report an “attack” on trans kids:Ħ0 Minutes’ Segment About Republican Attacks On Trans Kids Was Itself an Attack On Trans Kids And yet, the majority of the story was devoted to ‘raising concerns’ about youth accessing that care.” “As the piece noted, every major medical association supports affirming, age-appropriate care for trans youth and the guidelines for that care are safe and well-established. That is simply untrue,” the organization tweeted Sunday night. Parents of trans youth could walk away with the false belief that young people are being rushed into medical transition.
“Tonight aired a shameful segment fearmongering about trans youth. GLAAD, an advocacy organization for the LGBTQ community, slammed “60 Minutes” and CBS News’ Lesley Stahl, saying a Sunday story on health care for transgender individuals - which focused on detransitioning - was “shameful.” GLAAD Slams ‘Shameful’ ’60 Minutes’ Story on Transgender Youth The Wrap reports on a reaction from GLAAD: (((Jason Rantz))) on KTTH Radio May 24, 2021 For example, one young man who decided he was trans was put on hormones and had his testicles removed and breast augmentation after just three months:Ħ0 Minutes highlights transgender people who have decided to de-transition and I’m sure it won’t be seen as controversial in the least. The stories told by other young people in this clip are stunning. Grace Lidinsky-Smith: I can’t believe that I transitioned and detransitioned, including hormones and surgery, in the course of, like, less than one year. Lesley Stahl (NARRATION):And so she detransitioned by going off testosterone and then went back to the clinic and, she says, complained to the doctor that the process didn’t follow the WPATH guidelines.
And the feeling really surprised me but it was really hard to deny. Grace Lidinsky-Smith: I started to have a really disturbing sense that like a part of my body was missing, almost a ghost limb feeling about being like, there’s something that should be there. Lesley Stahl: You know, I’m kinda surprised because, based on everything you’ve said up to now, I would’ve thought you’d have a great sense of relief. Lesley Stahl (NARRATION): Just four months after she started testosterone, she says she was approved for a mastectomy, what’s called top surgery, that she told us was traumatic.
You got your prescription for testosterone? Grace Lidinsky-Smith: They asked me, “So, why do you wanna go on testosterone?” And I said, “Well, being a woman just isn’t working for me anymore.” And they said, “Okay.” Lesley Stahl (NARRATION): Because she was over 18 and didn’t need parental consent, she says she merely signed an informed consent form at a clinic and got hormone shots. Grace Lidinsky-Smith: She didn’t go - really go into what my gender dysphoria might’ve been stemming from. Lesley Stahl: Did the therapist not question you about how deep the feeling was and what it was stemming from?
One young woman described her experience after she went on hormones, had her breasts removed, and then detransitioned all in one year.
