Endocrine Disruptors

So, Timmerie’s talking all about the Cass Report: you know, that massive study from the UK that’s got everyone rethinking the benefit of gender transitions for kids. She brings on Dr. Theresa Farnan, who’s a moral philosopher and all-around expert on this stuff, to explain it for us. 



The Big Deal:



The Cass Report is 366 pages of hardcore data that says, basically: there’s NO benefit to transitioning kids: none! Whether it’s puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or full-on surgeries, this report shows it’s not helping minors and, in fact, could be doing some serious harm. This study is based on a four-year, international review. It's the real deal.



What’s the Drama in the UK?



Doctors in the UK are fuming. Their medical leadership came out in support of transitioning, but a bunch of doctors said, "Nope!" and even quit over it. The review showed that these gender clinics were a mess, and kids weren’t thriving; they were actually doing worse. 



Key Findings



Long-term follow-up: In the UK, they track people’s health long-term, so they saw how bad things got. Kids who were transitioned weren’t just unhappy; they were struggling even more.



Kiera Bell’s lawsuit: Kiera, a detransitioner, sued after having a double mastectomy as a minor. She basically said, "I needed mental health support, not surgery."  Even though she lost her case, her bravery triggered this whole review.



Kids are falling behind: When kids go on puberty blockers, they don’t just delay puberty; they’re left behind developmentally, socially, even intellectually. One study showed a kid’s IQ dropped after being put on blockers. Yeah, no one’s talking about that!



No evidence, all harm: The report found zero proof that transitioning helps kids. And get this: they called social transitioning (like letting kids live as the opposite gender) a "psychosocial intervention" -fancy talk for saying it’s messing with their heads. 



Why is the US So Behind?



While other countries like the UK are saying "enough is enough" with these gender transitions, the US is still lagging. Timmerie and Dr. Farnan point out that we're just not keeping up with the latest data,and it’s hurting kids.



Dr. Farnan says that the Cass Report is the new gold standard for showing how dangerous and misguided these treatments can be. It’s not just a moral argument: the science backs it up, too.

What Should I Know About the Cass Report on Gender? (Special Podcast Highlight)

Okay; this episode of Trending with Timmerie is one of those "wow, did that really happen?" moments. Timmerie is talking about Our Lady of La Leche, otherwise known as "Our Lady of the Milk." Our Lady under this title has brought about miracle babies for couples dealing with infertility. 



First off, October 11th is her feast day, and the devotion to her dates way back to the 16th century, when Spanish settlers brought it over to the U.S. (specifically St. Augustine, Florida). Our Lady of La Leche has been the go-to intercessor for couples struggling to conceive or hoping for a safe delivery.



One of the wildest stories Timmerie shares is how the devotion even started. There’s this man in Spain, right? His wife is pregnant, but it’s looking really bad. He finds some kids tossing a statue of Mary nursing baby Jesus around like it’s a toy, rescues it, brings it home, and just starts praying like crazy. Both his wife and baby survive, and just like that, a whole devotion to Our Lady of La Leche is born.



Fast forward to today, and Timmerie tells the story of Walker Larson and his wife, who were both dealing with infertility. A priest told them about Our Lady of La Leche and suggested visiting her shrine in St. Augustine, Florida. They did, prayed for a miracle... and a few months later, they were PREGNANT! 



While praying, they also discovered a natural remedy called maca. This root has been used since forever to help with fertility.



Our Lady of La Leche has been interceding for centuries, helping couples overcome infertility through prayer. If you or someone you know is struggling with infertility, why not ask for her intercession?
