&quot;One of her recent criticisms seemed to be parents subjecting their children to sex reassignment surgery before they are old enough to give informed consent.&quot;<p>Problem is there&#x27;s no one actually doing GRS on trans kids. Unless she&#x27;s confusing the violent act of GRS for intersexed&#x2F;ambiguous-genitalia kids which is a wholly separate issue. Because I don&#x27;t know of a single case of a transgender teenager undergoing GRS or even plastic surgery for facial feminization or breast augmentation.<p>&quot;She also points out that sex change is now being misleadingly presented as a solution to deeper problems that would really remain unaddressed.&quot;<p>She hasn&#x27;t demonstrated that there&#x27;s over diagnosis of adults or children with gender dysphoria. It&#x27;s for her to actually show through evidence that there&#x27;s such a trend that&#x27;s beyond mere correlation. If she can&#x27;t produce it then she&#x27;s acting unethically by virtue of the fact that her claims will be sourced as an &quot;expert opinion&quot; by medical professionals who aren&#x27;t willing to dig deeper.<p>Also, her remarks regarding Chaz Bono shows she&#x27;s definitely not trans in any capacity. The fact she tries to conflate her experiences with that of Chaz&#x27;s is the typical nonsense that certain people do when trying to empathize with a stranger they scarcely know. It&#x27;s easy to try to overlay your experiences from afar but if you honestly didn&#x27;t live with that person through those experiences you can&#x27;t make any assertion that you know or have the ability to know what they&#x27;re thinking or if their thinking is incorrect. I can tell you that for years I thought what people told me about myself was accurate despite the fact the vast majority of these people (two being my parents) were more interested in projecting what they wanted me to be and not what I was or what I really needed to do to find out who I was in the first place. So, Paglia&#x27;s comments in this regard insult me greatly since they&#x27;re that of a nosy neighbor that should learn to never intrude in that of the affairs of neighbors who didn&#x27;t ask for their opinion.
