I'm so proud of you and your companions, and I sincerely believe that lobbying to the influential - doctors, the media, charities - will be the way to fight this. If this nightmare has shown me anything, it's that people are surface thinkers and they are tribal. They will trust what people on their "team" tell them. Thanks for reminding us all that the fight against evil is perpetual and that we should not abandon this fight once our own personal goals are met.

I am so glad that you and the other three were able to have all these conversations and introduce many endocrinologists to what is happening to gay kids. Bravo!

I do want to take issue with these statements: “The conservatives will abandon the cause as soon as heterosexual kids are no longer prey, many of whom were the first to salivate at the thought of “fixing” their sinful progeny. The feminists will wash their hands of it and celebrate their victories in sports and women’s space”

Many Christians, myself included, are horrified at what is happening to kids—all kids—and are fighting this cause because we believe in it is evil and harmful. I have never met a Christian who was salivating about using gender ideology to turn gay kids “straight.” I say the same of my feminist friends.

Gay people have been denigrated for being gay, and that’s wrong, but let’s not make the mistake of demonizing other groups. Conservatives and feminists are individuals, and many are very decent and caring people.
