7 Terrifying Quotes From The NYT’s Story On Teen Sex Changes

The New York Times published an article Tuesday about the brave new world of people undergoing gender transitions at 18 years old or even younger. Given the topic matter, the article is full of lines that are a little uncomfortable, to say the least. Here are the top seven most cringe-worthy:

1. “Kat was anxious about having enough privacy in college, since her new vagina needs constant care or it will close off like a wound.”

While the Times doesn’t have the courage to say it, the reason Kat’s fancy new vagina will close off “like a wound” is because it literally is one. Male bodies do not naturally come with a large gash in the pelvic region, and “dilation” is needed to prevent the body from healing itself. This dilation must continue for one’s entire life. The description on Wikipedia is not for the faint of heart.

2. “‘I was salivating,’ he recalled. ‘I said, we had to do this.'”

This line was uttered by Dr. Norman Spack, describing his reaction after hearing the Dutch were using hormones to block puberty in young children that doctors have concluded are transgender.

3. A meeting of teenagers in April began with each one declaring a name and pronoun of the day.”

Thanks to the rise of concepts like genderfluidity, it’s totally possible for people to actually have a pronoun of the day, whether it’s “he,” “they,” or sundry other pronouns like “thon” and “xe.”

4. “In the fall of junior year, she showed up at school wanting to be called Katherine, or Kat, because she likes cats. She does not want anything to do with her birth name, Caden. She also has discovered that she likes girls. ‘I identify as a lesbian,’ she said, though her attractions have not been reciprocated.”

5. “With growing tolerance, the question is no longer whether gender reassignment is an option, but rather, how young should it begin.”

As the story recounts, several doctors are racing ahead to transition children’s genders at younger and younger ages. That may not seem too bad, until the Times drops another nugget just a moment later:

6. “Studies suggest that most young children with gender dysphoria eventually lose any desire to change sex, and may grow up to be gay, rather than transgender.”

In other words, doctors may end up giving children irrevocable sex-change surgery, only for the recipient to end up feeling mutilated rather than “fixed.” And that’s a troublesome possibility, because widespread transsexual surgery is so new that the long-term effects are not yet well-understood. One bit of data, however, is a cause for great concern:

7. “A large-scale Swedish study at the Karolinska Institute found that starting about a decade after gender reassignment surgery, the transgender suicide rate was still 19 times higher than for the general population.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
