The Politico article itself notes that there is ZERO actual evidence for the DHS claims. The Politico headline is inexcusable. Never forget that Politico is owned by Alex Springer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Politico’s parent company Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner emailed his top executives shortly before the 2020 election to ask if any of them would “want to get together for an hour in the morning on November 3 and pray that Donald Trump will again become President of the United States of America,” according to an email obtained by The Washington Post.

this is still the crux of the issue. worried it always will be.
This isn’t a new issue. Pop culture has always had a problem with the erasure of black women and other marginalized groups under the umbrella of blackness. In popular culture, black men are seen as the authority on racism. White people have a tendency to look to straight black men for answers on race, ignoring the voices of black women and others within the black community. In the popular consciousness, when we think of the word “black,” the immediate image we see is that of a straight black man.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
In Defense of Effeminate Boys
If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded.

By Ben Appel
If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Where? How? These people have been pooping this stupid myth back and forth for so long that they don't even bother to provide basic evidence anymore. It's the *premise* of the article, how did an editor not ask for specific numbers and peer-reviewed studies on this alleged phenomenon?
These steps toward caution are wise, but an underlying problem remains: Society still has an irrational fear of effeminate boys, who should be free to live their life without altering anything about themselves. Gender-nonconforming children continue to get the strong impression from censorious peers and well-meaning adults alike that they’d be better off if they became something other than what they are.

My childhood experiences make me skeptical about pediatric gender medicine today. In many kids who grow up to be gay, gender nonconformity manifests long before overt same-sex attraction does. Yet from peers, from social media, and even from some school districts’ teaching material, kids learn simplistic lessons that equate gender nonconformity with gender dysphoria—in essence, If you act and dress like a girl, you are one. In recent years, many doctors and hospitals have been willing to provide puberty blockers and gender-related hormone treatments to minors after only the briefest evaluation of each patient’s circumstances, and LGBTQ activists have cheered the lack of gatekeeping.

This has been part of the trans-kids moral panic for years, gay adults going "If I grew up now, they'd convince me I'm trans." If your movement had real evidence, you wouldn't be pointing to alternative-universe hypotheticals! Child psychologists know the difference between gay kids and trans kids
