‘Gender-Affirming’ Surgery Leaves People Lonelier and Depressed, Study by Transgender Surgery Department Chairman Finds

The head of a facility that carries out so-called “gender-affirming care” has published a study confirming that transgender surgeries do not improve mental health and make people feel lonelier than those who avoided surgical intervention altogether. “In our study, the level of life satisfaction in transgender people was not increased in transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery as compared to those who were unoperated,” says a study published Tuesday in BMC Public Health, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. “[O]ur data indicate that transgender and gender-diverse people, who have undergone gender reassignment surgery…

The Fight to Prevent Veteran Suicide

The return to civilian life can be an extreme challenge for men and women who have served in the military, veteran Jim Lorraine says. “What you have to understand, when you move from the military back into the civilian world, you’re really not just changing a job, you’re changing a culture,” explains Lorraine, president of America’s Warrior Partnership.  America’s Warrior Partnership works to build relationships with veterans and provide them with the tools and support they need to succeed after their military service.

Mother’s Day Presents an Opportunity to Honor and Stand Up for Real Women

It’s a man’s world again. We’ve won. We’ve seized women’s sports, parenting titles, and Woman of the Year and Prom Queen awards. The gals were making headway there for a while, but now the men are back on top. I can still remember them, although their memory fades by the day—actual women, that is.

Not to mention achievements such as “first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public…
