Dear Friend,
March 12 was Detrans Awareness Day, a date that provides an
opportunity for those who fell victim to the cruel ploy of youth
medical transitioning to educate others. Many victims of transitioning
have been separated from their families, had their healthy bodies
permanently mutilated, and seen their mental health ignored and
further devastated. Voices of the detrans community need to be heard;
their stories need to be told. They need and deserve compassion,
advocacy on their behalf, and respect for being brave voices in a
culture which rejects and shames those who choose to leave the medical
transition cult.
Fast Facts:
-
Common side-effects for all puberty blockers
include anxiety, depression, dizziness, joint and bone disorders, and
fractures.
-
Puberty blockers are off-label cancer treatments and are
advertised on television which normalizes their use.
-
Cross-sex hormones creates risk of irreversible
sterility and can cause a host of health
problems including blood clots, cardiovascular disease and
psychiatric disorders.
-
Gender reassignment surgery may lead to increased
urinary disorders and sterilization.
Meet
Chloe Cole who had a double mastectomy at age
15 and took puberty blockers for
years. Her body has rejected the skin grafts
after the mastectomy, and she now wears bandages. Chloe said her
exposure to gender ideology on the Internet was a significant factor
in her gender dysphoria. She now travels the country to warn people
about the dangers of medically transitioning children.

Recovering' From Hormones, Surgery at

article in this week’s Carolina
Journal written by NC Values’ Press and Political Director Laura
Macklem about the detransition movement, and how the medical
profession preys on young people struggling with gender dysphoria, a
mental illness.
Finally, the first quarter of the year is always one of the
most difficult for a non-profit like ours that relies on your
donations. Would you help ensure we continue our momentum protecting
children by making a one-time or monthly donation towards our work
defending and advancing your values in North
Carolina?
Sincerely,
Tami Fitzgerald, NC Values
