Try to wrap your head around FOX News' The Five host Greg Gutfeld's bonkers take on what's happening with transgender kids, which came within a discussion of transgender athletes. A new kind of conversion therapy? (via Media Matters)
Said Gutfeld: “There are young children, when they express gender confusion, the push among these same activists is to transition these confused children at a young age to the hetero sex, meaning if you have a young boy with feminine qualities you need to transition that person into a female so that person would then become straight. What you are effectively doing is you are eliminating gays because experts will tell you a young boy with feminine traits might just grow up to be a healthy gay man who lives a long life. “
“Instead you are going to push him in a direction that requires decades of drugs, decades of therapy and possibly surgery and higher rates of depression and suicide,” added Gutfeld. “So the left, interestingly enough, abhorred those organizations like exodus, remember exodus? That would take gay people and try to deprogram them. They hated them and probably for good reason. Where are they in this destructive practice of plucking confused kids who may grow out of a phase or may end up becoming a gay or lesbian and saying no, it's better for them to become a transgender female or male, knowing that this could end up with years and years of pain and suffering? Sports and childhood are being affected by what is an intense political activism. And it scares the crap out of people. It's scaring the crap out of liberals more than anybody because gays and lesbians are the ones that are getting hit probably the hardest on this.”
