We are witnessing a Mengelian mangling of the medical system, and this piece by Corinna Cohn offers a personal and troubling view of what puberty blockers and ‘gender transitioning’ really imply. It’s a horror story unfolding, one that may have appeared decades ago on some dystopic sci-fi pic, only that no one’s imagination was this[…]
