‘Damaged’ Reveals How Crucial Supreme Court Ruling On Child Sex Changes Will Be

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether red states have the right to ban medical child abuse. I’m talking, of course, about the horrifying euphemism of the transgender lobby’s “gender-affirming care.”

The Court is hearing oral arguments Wednesday morning on U.S. v Skrmetti, a case brought by the Biden administration challenging Tennessee’s ban of puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors. The state imposes civil penalties on doctors who violate the law, but Tennessee is not the only state to target this medical abuse. Normal people believe kids should wait until they are adults to make such life altering decision, but radical left lunatics who increasingly call the shots in the medical industry say otherwise. Banning “gender-affirming care” is a violation of parents’ constitutional rights, the Biden administration has the audacity to argue. (Click here to stream ‘Damaged’)

The Daily Caller’s original documentary, “Damaged,” shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Our investigative team took a deep dive into this destructive industry, showing that it’s not a matter of doctors and parents collaborating to decide what’s best for a child. Often, the doctor is a vicious transgender ideologue, pushing irreversible pharmaceuticals and/or surgeries onto a child and his or her parents. Parents want what’s best for their troubled child, and they generally trust the medical establishment. So when a doctor poses an ultimatum on the suicide of your child — “Would you rather have a dead son, or a living daughter?” — what else is the well-meaning parent to do? Parents often feel they have no choice but to consent to “gender-affirming care” on behalf of their child.

Yet, as “Damaged” showed, just because a treatment sounds gentle does not mean its result will be. “Gender affirming care,” in reality, can start with giving a child new clothes, new pronouns and even a new name at school — all without telling the parents. But at its most extreme, it means the chemical castration of young boys with powerful drugs once reserved only for the most depraved sex offenders. It can also mean ghoulish procedures like double mastectomies for young women, as well as grotesque “bottom surgeries” in which new genitals are painfully grafted from other parts of the body and take years to heal — if they ever do. And if they decide to change their mind as adults? Good luck getting help from doctors committed to the lie that “changing” your “gender” makes all your problems go away.

Kids — and parents — have a constitutional right to be protected from precisely this predator behavior. Kids should be able to just be kids, but too many have already had their innocence stolen from them by the transgender lobby. Watch “Damaged” today to hear their stories.

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.
