<p>An <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/opinion/transgender-children-gender-dysphoria.html">op-ed</a> in The New York Times calls for pumping the brakes on immediately affirming an increasing number of children&#8217;s new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender identities</a>.</p>
<p>The article published Friday criticizes the &#8220;ideological extremism&#8221; of transgender activists, saying they have pushed a model of treatment that has faced increased scrutiny in recent years.</p>
<p>&#8220;Under that model of care, clinicians are expected to affirm a young person’s assertion of gender identity and even provide medical treatment before, or even without, exploring other possible sources of distress,&#8221; the article says.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Detransitioners are flipping the narrative.</p>
<p>The truth of our experiences can no longer be denied. <a href="https://t.co/vnaJJMuFGy">https://t.co/vnaJJMuFGy</a></p>

<p>The article adds that &#8220;right-wing demagogues&#8221; have also inflamed the debate around child transgender medical interventions, but they are not the only ones.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, parents have a hard time finding &#8220;dispassionate discussion&#8221; of the risks involved with &#8220;gender-affirming care,&#8221; the article notes, and healthcare professionals who do not think children should be immediately affirmed are &#8220;often afraid to speak out.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Trans activists have fought hard to suppress any discussion of rapid onset gender dysphoria, despite evidence that the condition is real,&#8221; the article says, and &#8220;the doctrinal rigidity of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is disappointing, frustrating and counterproductive.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Times article also notes that Europe, where gender ideology took hold before it became popular in the U.S., has changed course and backed away from the &#8220;affirming&#8221; model for gender dysphoric children.</p>
<p>The Dutch studies that the &#8220;affirming&#8221; model was largely based on had &#8220;flaws&#8221; and &#8220;there was no evidence that any intervention was lifesaving,&#8221; the article charges.</p>
<p>Friday&#8217;s article strikes a different tone than previous articles published by the Times on this issue.</p>

<p>Back in May, the Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/16/us/politics/transgender-care-detransitioners.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> an article saying that detransitioners &#8212; people who regret their transgender medical interventions &#8212; are just a small group that activists Republicans are using to skew public opinion.</p>
<p>Another <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/health/puberty-blockers-transgender.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> from late 2022 started to question the merits of puberty blockers. However, this week&#8217;s article appears to contain the strongest criticism yet of fast-tracked transgender medical interventions for minors.</p>
<p>Critics of gender ideology reacted to the Times article on social media.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re taking down a cult and it’s glorious to watch. Even the New York Times is telling the truth about trans,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BillboardChris/status/1753451136051483079">posted</a> Chris Elston, who is known as &#8220;Billboard Chris.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some critics <a href="https://twitter.com/NancyRPearcey/status/1753495543194497529" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wondered</a> if the driving force behind such direct criticism appearing in the Times could be the lawsuits detransitioners are filing against the medical providers who provided them with hormone treatments and surgery.</p>
<p>&#8220;Detransitioners are flipping the narrative. The truth of our experiences can no longer be denied,&#8221; Chloe Cole, a detransitioner who has been outspoken about her experience, <a href="https://twitter.com/ChoooCole/status/1753450838289469572">posted</a> on X.</p>
