I have to say, I did not expect South Australia to be the first state to likely implement a parliamentary inquiry into the “transgender” madness. SA was, until Victoria stole its crown just like it stole the Grand Prix, the proud bearer of the “Australia’s Wokest State” mantle.
But, decades after its premier famously posed for photos with bearded homos dressed as nuns, even the pillow-biting crow-eaters are arking up at the dangerous idiocy of transgenderism.
Australia’s first ever parliamentary inquiry into gender dysphoria will be put to a vote in South Australia on Wednesday, with several conservative Labor MPs prepared to back the plan amid a surge in transitioning cases in South Australia.
Not that trannyism is a fad or anything…
The inquiry will examine all facets of treatment and support for young people with gender dysphoria, the model by which their condition is assessed, and the process by which puberty blockers and hormones can be administered, and operations approved.
It will also consider the rights of parents and guardians in the assessment and treatment of young people and the role of government in providing education and health services for gender dysphoria.
Will it also consider the role of creepy gender-whisperers, including those linked to Queer Theory think-tanks run by oleaginous shirt-lifters who spent the 70s and 80s advocating for paedophile rights? Just asking.
The inquiry has won national support from those urging a pause in the management of gender dysphoria, including a Sydney woman suing her psychiatrist for negligence after undergoing a mastectomy and hysterectomy after just one consultation when she was 19.
The backlash against transgenderism is reaching a point that even politicians are sniffing the wind.
While Labor’s Left faction is opposed to the inquiry, The Australian can reveal that several conservative Labor MPs want a conscience vote on the issue so they can support the bill.
Independent MP Frank Pangallo has spent the past year preparing the case for the inquiry and is being supported by the Liberal opposition in SA and by One Nation.
The Australian understands Premier Peter Malinauskas – who is from Labor’s Right faction – has been canvassed privately by Mr Pangallo but has not indicated his position.
Remember Homer Simpson’s advice: Never say anything, unless you’re sure everyone feels exactly the same way you do.
Mr Pangallo’s push for the inquiry shows that despite Labor governments largely defending the status quo, or ducking calls to examine the issue, there are clearly many MPs in Labor ranks who share his disquiet over the case numbers and the model being used to treat young people.
In his speech to parliament, Mr Pangallo relied upon FOI material obtained by NSW Labor MLC Greg Donnelly revealing the number of children and adolescents being treated for gender dysphoria by SA’s Women’s and Children’s Health Network.
In 2020, the total number stood at 58, with 21 females and 17 males receiving puberty blockers and 13 females and seven males undergoing stage two gender-affirming hormone treatment.
Just one year later, the total number jumped to 149, with 91 females and 58 males receiving different forms of treatment. They included 35 females and 33 males receiving puberty blockers and 26 females and 13 males undergoing stage two gender-affirming hormone treatment.
Tell us again that this isn’t a fad.
But, unlike fidget spinners or hula hoops, it’s a fad that’s leaving children stunted, crippled, and sterilised.
SA Liberal senator Alex Antic has flagged a private member’s bill that in almost all cases would ban the use of puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormone treatment. His bill would also strike doctors from practising if they took part in such procedures.
The Australian
At least one politician has the guts to stand up to the bullying nutcases in womanface.
