LGBT activist tells Congress that detransitioning is ‘not a real thing’

A radical LGBT activist told Congress on Wednesday she does not believe detransitioning is a ‘real thing’ as she admitted to helping children as young as 12 change their sex without talking to their parents.

Speaking before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Jessie Pocock said she believes children could start to go through hormonal treatments and surgeries to change their sex even if their parents do not agree.

‘In our community, the age of consent to mental health therapy is 12 years old,’ Pocock, the CEO and Executive Director of Inside Out Youth Services Advocacy Organization, said in response to a question from Rep. Michael Cloud.

She then went on to deny that children who transition their sex at a young age regret the choice later in life and try to reverse what they have done.

Her testimony came amid ongoing hearings over the rise in violence against LGBT Americans following a shooting at a gay club in Colorado Springs last month.

The organization supports ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, queer, questioning, and two spirit (LGBTQIA2+) youth,’ according to its website.

Among its values, which form the acronym INSIDE OUT are ‘intersectionality,’ ‘openness’ and ‘engagement’ — though it also lists more obscure values like ‘dancing/dance,’ ‘nourishment’ and even ‘unicorns,’ according to FOX News.  Continue reading…
