As the nefarious “woke, progressive” agenda continues to creep its way into cultural and societal norms, the explosion of advocacy for the transgender movement has reached monumental proportions.
Children as young as five or six are now being exposed to drag queen story time periods at public libraries and these young people are being encouraged to rethink their birth gender as they are offered the options to sexual reassignment surgery, even if their parents and caretakers withhold permission.

In New York City, which has come to be known as one of the world’s largest hubs for the LGBTQ and transgender communities, many health providers, hospitals, and clinics have come to the realization that the acceptance of transgender individuals translates into quite a lucrative business for them.

While many health care providers and facilities have jumped on the politically correct bandwagon in terms of providing state of the art medical procedures and services for those who have made the decision to go under the knife for the sake of transitioning to the other gender, one hospital in particular has taken an aggressive sales approach through their web site.
NYU-Langone in midtown Manhattan has gained the reputation of being one of the best hospitals in the city and in the country as well.
For young people, NYU says: “For adolescents, we provide medical care, hormone therapy, and mental health services through our Transgender Youth Health Program, including pubertal suppression and psychological counseling for the entire family.”
The team of physicians who comprise their “Comprehensive Gender-Affirming Care” program provides surgical care, fertility preservation, hormone therapy, and rehabilitation care, as was reported on the NYU-Langone web site.
Such gender-affirming procedures that focus on adolescents include, facial gender-affirming surgery, including facial feminization surgery and facial masculinization surgery, surgery to remove breasts, known as top surgery or mastectomy, surgery to add breasts, known as breast augmentation, vaginoplasty to create a vagina, phalloplasty and metoidioplasty to create a penis, hysterectomy to remove the uterus and oophorectomy to remove the ovaries, orchiectomy to remove testicles, as well as fertility preservation, including egg freezing or sperm freezing
NYU claims to be “at the forefront of innovation and research in transgender surgery,” and that they provide “transgender and nonbinary adolescents with compassionate care that addresses each individual’s specific needs.”

They also assert that their diverse team of doctors, nurses, and social workers follow the standards of care guidelines provided by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).
For those children who have opted to go ahead with gender surgery, many of them begin the process at age 9-12 with hormone therapy which includes taking puberty blockers which halt the emergence of secondary sex characteristics such as breast growth and menstrual stoppage for the girls.
Advocates for puberty blockers that the delay in body growth offers young people time to decide if they want to go ahead with transition surgery or not. As to the safety of ingesting such blockers, studies remain inconclusive if they are detrimental to one’s long term health.
The hospital claims that their social workers help prepare youngsters for gender-affirming surgery, while making sure that support during recovery and access to services after surgery are available.
As young people serious contemplate gender reassignment surgery, they are being encouraged in many cases to move full steam ahead with it, despite lingering doubts or misgivings.
Reports indicate that while such hormone therapy and surgery are growing in popularity with both boys and girls, it appears that more girls are seeking to become males.
In terms of hormone therapy in the form of puberty blockers, an op-ed that appeared in the New York Post on Tuesday by Mary Harrington indicated that “new research from the Ethics and Public Policy Center reveals that the number of prescriptions for puberty blockers to under-18s doubled between 2017 and 2021.”
The article added that, “the data, based on information gathered from insurers, provide the clearest picture to date of the booming industry of gender butchery being practiced on American minors. In this medical Wild West, a well-oiled campaigning machine with tentacles into nonprofits, schools and even the White House recruits healthy kids and spits out sterilized simulacra of the opposite sex, often with lifelong health issues.”
The New York Times recently reported that the procedure known as phalloplasty for trans men and nonbinary people has existed in some form since at least the 1940s, but until recently, it was rare in the United States, where insurance coverage was unreliable and few surgeons catered to the needs of trans patients. Some trans men traveled to Belgium, Serbia or Thailand, where care was both cheaper and easier to access, the NYT reported. Those who did have surgery in the United States often paid tens of thousands of dollars and put them in a position where they were forced to choose between a penis and a house (if they were well-off enough to face this choice at all), the NYT reported. As hormones and top surgery became standard forms of health care, a penis remained an unlikely prospect, even to some who wanted it badly.
While it may sound to many that such gender reassignment surgery for young people does not have drawbacks, it was reported in the New York Post on December 12th, that a former Navy SEAL who came out as transgender and has since detransitioned is warning young Americans to exercise extreme caution when considering gender affirming surgery — saying “you need to slow down.”
The Post reported that Chris Beck, a decorated Navy vet who served on SEAL Team Six, made headlines in 2013 with “Warrior Princess,” a biography detailing his 13 deployments, Purple Heart and Bronze Star during an illustrious 20-year military career — as well as his desire to live as a woman, Kristin Beck.
But nine years later, the 56-year-old veteran is saying his decision “destroyed my life” and is a cautionary tale that parents and teens mulling gender reassignment surgery should closely heed, the Post reported.
In an exclusive interview with the Post in December, Beck said, “I would’ve gone about my life and never said a word. But right now, there are doctors doing surgery on 12-year-old children and that’s unacceptable.”
Beck, who underwent facial surgery and breast augmentation, said he has gender dysphoria — often described as a feeling of unease over one’s birth gender, the Post reported. He said he was authorized for hormone therapy by the Department of Veterans Affairs after just one meeting following his 2011 retirement and took the treatment until 2015. He also told the Post that he never considered himself transgender.
