We need to talk about “trans kids.” In all likelihood, we are currently witnessing one of the biggest medical scandals in modern history, and a tidal wave of regrets and lawsuits will soon follow in its wake.

Over the past few years, several moss-backed and socially disagreeable conservatives and normie libs — including this very writer — have bemusedly noted that very high percentages of high-school and college students have begun to describe themselves as “transgender” or otherwise “queer.” Back in 2018, when Smilodon roamed the Earth and Donald John Trump roamed the White House, a significant study reported on by USA Today found that fully 3 percent of sampled ninth and eleventh graders “identified as transgender or gender non-conforming – meaning they don’t always self-identify as the sex they were assigned at birth.”
