When wolves dress up as shepherds, the flock needs watchdogs with teeth. For years, American parents have watched helplessly as medical establishments pushed experimental procedures on vulnerable children, procedures that promised healing but delivered permanent harm.

The shepherds we trusted to protect our young have too often become the very predators we should fear.

Across the nation, families have discovered that saying “no” to these medical interventions isn’t enough. When doctors insist that denying a child’s gender confusion could lead to suicide, when schools secretly counsel students toward life-altering decisions, and when the medical establishment brands concerned parents as bigots, the traditional protections of family authority crumble.

When did we decide that a 14-year-old can’t get a tattoo but can take drugs that destroy fertility? Parents find themselves fighting not just for their children’s bodies, but for their fundamental right to guide their own kids through confusion toward healing.

The medical consequences of these procedures read like a horror novel. Puberty blockers that promise a “pause” actually cause permanent fertility destruction, stunted bone growth, and compromised heart health. Cross-sex hormones alter bodies in ways that can never be fully reversed. Surgical procedures remove healthy tissue from confused teenagers who haven’t even finished high school.

Yet until recently – and here’s where it gets truly insane – questioning these practices meant risking your reputation, your job, or even custody of your child. But now, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice are backing legislation that would finally give families the protection and recourse they deserve.

From ‘Department of Justice’:

“The Department of Justice has heard from far too many families who have been devastated by mutilative medical procedures that fly in the face of basic biology.

While we continue our ongoing legal battle to protect children, we appreciate our colleagues in Congress who are working diligently alongside us to end these abusive procedures once and for all.”

The proposed Victims of Chemical or Surgical Mutilation Act, championed by Senator Marsha Blackburn and Representative Bob Onder, would ban these procedures on minors nationwide and create a path for victims to seek justice against the medical professionals who harmed them.

And Attorney General Pam Bondi’s words reflect what millions of American parents already know: biology isn’t bigotry, and protecting children from irreversible harm isn’t hate. Finally, someone in power said what we’ve all been thinking at the dinner table.

A 25-Year Window for Justice

The legislation’s most powerful provision might be its extended timeline for legal action: Children subjected to these procedures would have until 25 years after their 18th birthday to sue the doctors, hospitals, and clinics involved. That’s how long it might take for the truth to sink in, for the propaganda to wear off, for these kids to realize what was stolen from them.

The bill doesn’t just ban future procedures; it creates real accountability. Victims could seek compensatory damages for the costs of “undoing, correcting, or ameliorating” the damage, plus damages for emotional distress and suffering. Finally, medical professionals who put ideology over patient welfare would face consequences for their actions.

This legislative push builds on President Trump’s earlier executive order ending federal funding for entities performing or promoting these procedures.

His administration has also pressured hospitals nationwide to stop these practices, recognizing that government has a duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Funny how the same medical establishment that swore these procedures were “life-saving” is now quietly shutting down their gender clinics.

As a parent and grandparent, I see this as more than policy – it’s a moral reckoning. We’re finally acknowledging that childhood confusion doesn’t require chemical castration or surgical mutilation. We’re admitting that the “experts” who promised these procedures would save lives were either deceived or deceiving.

Most importantly, though, we’re returning to the common-sense principle that children need protection, guidance, and time to grow; not irreversible medical interventions based on feelings that often change.

The wolves have prowled among our children long enough. With this legislation, we’re not just building a fence – we’re giving the watchdogs teeth. Our children deserve nothing less.
