This is good news. Similar things were happening on the Washington Post site. Every article attracted dozens of people who would post anti-trans comments, including me. Indeed, I got kicked off the Post for doing that (even though my comments were always rational and polite). Publications need to be made aware that their readers don't agree with them. The Times is so liberals that you know most of those commenters were liberals too, and that's good -- we need more liberals turning against trans ideology.

Very true. We need to make the natural allies understand the dangers of this modern-day lobotomy under the guise of compassionate care.

It's hard to believe that there are any people in the world who actually believe that letting a girl cut off her breasts could help her in any way. Talking about lobotomies, Dr. Walter Freeman, the doctor who aggressively promoted them in the mid-20th century, was so certain that they were beneficial that he would spontaneously lobotomize people if their families wanted it. He didn't bother to do it in a sanitary surgical environment. He just brought an ice pick with him and did it on the spot. There was one story I read in which he visited a boys' school (it might have been a home for delinquent boys; I don't remember), and he lined some of the boys up on desks and lobomotized all of them right there. Lobotomies became his trademark. Freeman is proof positive that many doctors are more interested in making money and/or a name for themselves than in doing the right thing.
