Clinicians performing these 'treatments' will go down in history as barbarous activists who betrayed a sacred oath: to do no harm. But we should never forget how many people outside the medical profession urged these young people on, gleefully assuring them that anyone advising caution was an evil bigot. There are people in elitist professions like publishing and academia, not to mention politicians and celebrities with young fan bases, who did all they could to champion the idea of gender identity, and kept pushing it even as the evidence of harm mounted. They're just as culpable as the clinicians. Too lazy to think more deeply than the fashionable mantras that got them social media likes, too arrogant to look at evidence from anyone outside their political bubble, they've slurred whistleblowers and attacked anyone with valid questions. In doing so, they've created a cultural climate without which this appalling tragedy could not have taken place.
Never forget, because only by learning the lesson can we stop this happening again.

J Michael Waller @JMichaelWaller - Why deportation matters: Imagine if the US could have bagged Bolshevik leader and future Red Army founder Leon Trotsky while he was agitating in New York City early in 1917.
From my book Big Intel:
"A New York police agent wrote down the angry revolutionary’s words: 'I am going back to Russia to overthrow the Provisional Government there and stop the war with Germany. I want you people here to organize and keep organizing until you are able to overthrow the damned rotten capitalistic government of this country.'
"New York City police had no arrest or deportation authority for matters like this. No federal institution existed to arrest Trotsky in New York for sedition or conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution, and turn him over for prosecution and judgment. Indeed almost no federal law existed in this regard.
"The Justice Department had some small offices far off in Washington: An Alien Enemy Bureau with the colossal job of identifying and rounding up hundreds of thousands of German nationals; and a handful of detectives in a little unit called the Bureau of Investigation The Federal part would come much later.
"Had there been a full-fledged FBI and a proper set of laws to enforce, the Bureau could have changed history by nabbing the most important Russian Communist leader next to Vladimir Lenin before their revolution could take place. The would-be founder of the Red Army might have served a long sentence up the Hudson River at Sing Sing.
"With the ultimate overthrow of the United States government still on his mind, Trotsky steamed back to Europe, via Nova Scotia, to wage his promised revolution."
