The Real Reason Leftists Push the Trans Agenda

This week the Supreme Court is hearing arguments in an incredibly consequential case about Tennessee’s ban on barbaric transgender procedures and puberty blockers for minors. Naturally, the Hollywood elite proves that it can’t resist the chance to put itself in the spotlight, especially when it comes to taking up trendy leftist causes. 

For example, actress Annette Bening was in Washington, D.C., outside the Supreme Court to remind everyone who she is and to prove she’s relevant.

“I think the greatest gift of my life is to have kids,” she said. “And to have a transgender child has made me so much more interesting.”

Yeah, that pretty much says it all. It’s a telling statement. For celebrities like Bening, the quest to remain “relevant” in Hollywood seems to have shifted from career achievements to embracing left-wing causes that guarantee attention. 

Bening continued:

And for the Supreme Court justices, I encourage them to talk to their kids, their grandkids, their nieces and nephews, because I'll bet if they really sit down and ask them, Do you know trans kids around you? Do you have any non-binary friends? They're going to say yes, and they're going to say that this is part of the beautiful rainbow of human beings everywhere.

I’d urge people like Bening and anyone else who supports the mutilation of healthy young bodies to listen to voices like Chloe Cole. Chloe was lured into the transgender ideology at just 12 years old, placed on puberty blockers, prescribed testosterone, and subjected to a double mastectomy at 15 — only to realize she had made a devastating mistake. She detransitioned. Her story is far from unique. Countless young people have been misled into believing that altering their bodies would solve their struggles, only to face lifelong regret and irreversible harm.

A comprehensive study from 2022 revealed that transitioning children provides no medical benefit for young people. Research shows that up to 90% of children experiencing gender confusion will no longer identify as transgender by adulthood if they are not pushed toward transitioning, whether socially or medically.

Meanwhile, the two studies most frequently cited to justify transitioning minors are riddled with flaws. Both excluded participants who dropped out over time — likely those with negative experiences — resulting in a skewed outcome favoring those who reported benefits. Additionally, a Swedish study found no evidence that transitioning children reduces the risk of suicide, debunking one of the central claims made by activists.

The fight to protect children from irreversible harm is gaining traction, even if gender-activist parents like Bening refuse to see it. For her, it’s something that can boost her profile and credibility in Hollywood because transgenderism is trendy.

Heck, even Bill Maher admitted this last year.

“I know people hate to hear that but it’s obviously true, there is an element of social contagion, or else transgenderism wouldn’t be so prevalent in here [California] and not in Indiana, it wouldn’t be regional,” Maher said

Leftists and Hollywood celebrities have fully embraced the trend of virtue-signaling their support for the mutilation of children because they think it boosts their social standing within left-wing circles. Selfishness drives their motivations rather than concern for the irreversible harm inflicted on vulnerable kids or the countless lives shattered by this ideology. It’s deeply tragic — and disturbing — that aligning with such a destructive and evil agenda is something they proudly choose to champion.
