   Unhappy teen girls become easy prey for the institutions that have   
   welcomed the booming gender-confusion industry.   
      
   Ulta Beauty released the latest episode of its podcast and YouTube show,   
   “The Beauty Of,” featuring a man who purports to be a woman discussing the   
   topic of girlhood. “Trans Girls Can Do It All!” reads an applause-emojied   
   promo tweet from the retail brand.   
      
   “Dylan Mulvaney has been vulnerable about her transition since the day she   
   told TikTok she was a woman. 167 days later, she continues to be honest   
   about the good, the bad and the silly moments that come with finding   
   girlhood,” reads the show description.   
      
   On its face, the episode hosted by cross-dressing David Lopez, who   
   interviews Mulvaney, could be mistaken for a “Saturday Night Live” sketch.   
   But the marketing of this popular trans-identifying male to represent the   
   beauty of girlhood is not about mockery, it’s about manipulation.   
      
   Ulta sees dollar signs in marketing to identity-driven consumers whose   
   entire lives revolve around appearances. It’s the latest example of how a   
   trans-obsessed culture embraces physically appearing feminine while   
   neutering the real meaning of womanhood. Unhappy teens trying to solve   
   their identity crisis become easy prey for the institutions that have   
   welcomed the booming industry of transgenderism.   
      
   Consider the heartbreaking account of a dignified young woman named Prisha   
   Mosley openly bearing her soul of an experience she’s coming to terms with   
   after taking a trans exploratory journey that she now deeply regrets:   
      
   I ruined my life. … I decided I didn’t want to be a woman before I had   
   ever even experienced being a woman. I had no idea what being a woman was   
   like, because I was a child, and now I feel like I will never entirely   
   know.   
      
   She sits composed and speaks directly into the camera, but her words are   
   haunting coming from a 24-year-old woman who has just reached the age of a   
   fully formed frontal lobe:   
      
   I want to say that I really feel like some people in the trans community   
   and the trans medicalists and the doctors really, really target the most   
   vulnerable of us. I have borderline personality disorder, and I know for a   
   fact this is the reason for my transition. It’s a very difficult mental   
   illness, and one of the core features is not having any sense of self or   
   identity, and my doctors knew this. I told them — even though they didn’t   
   ask — that I had been diagnosed with BPD and it was all fine to them. I   
   wasn’t happy as a girl, so that meant I was a boy, that I was trans. And   
   so, I just took the cure that was handed to me. I was told that I was   
   being given a cure, and I wouldn’t want to kill myself anymore. And it   
   wasn’t true.   
      
   I didn’t want to cry in this video, but this is such a hard thing to talk   
   about. I-I lost a lot of things to this, and I just hope that anyone who   
   is going through what I was going through as a young girl won’t be   
   prescribed hormones and surgery because of other things. You know, there   
   are so many mental health disorders that make you hate your body, and the   
   solution isn’t to change your body, it’s to fix your brain.   
      
   I just don’t want anyone else to feel this way. I lost my voice. I lost my   
   chest. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to have kids. I feel like no   
   one wants to date me or love me because I’m ruined.   
      
   Prisha’s tragic story begins at a time when writer Abigail Shrier began   
   investigating “the transgender craze seducing our daughters.” Shrier   
   chronicles the rise in rapid-onset gender dysphoria plaguing California’s   
   tony suburban secondary schools in her blockbuster book, “Irreversible   
   Damage,” published in 2020. The book was quickly ripped off the shelves of   
   Target and blacklisted from Amazon under pressure from activists because   
   it was only too true.   
      
   Today we see the trends of a trans-masculine delusion that entices young   
   girls to cut off their healthy breasts and pump testosterone supplied by   
   Planned Parenthood for the purpose of re-fashioning their feminine   
   appearance. Many young women find their blossoming bodies developing   
   faster than their emotional brains, and they don’t feel comfortable in   
   their own skin. They feel inferior to Hollywood’s sex-crazed standards of   
   beauty, and their own battles with depression, childhood trauma, and the   
   seduction of social media lead them down a well-paved trans-affirming   
   path.   
      
   As recently revealed in videos associated with prestigious children’s   
   hospitals, gender facilities seek to market these services and are   
   profiting from this identity crisis. They are all too willing to comply   
   and bear no long-term liability. Financial forecasters show the U.S.   
   leading the way in the exploding growth of the mutilative transgender   
   surgery market.   
      
   A recent report from Grand View Research found the U.S. market for such   
   surgeries, “was valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2021 and is expected to   
   expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.23% from 2022 to   
   2030.” As Jay Richards writes in The Federalist, “At that rate, the market   
   revenue will grow to $5 billion at the end of this decade. Business is   
   booming because of ‘rising incidences of gender dysphoria and the   
   increasing number of people opting for gender confirmation surgeries.'”   
      
   No doubt this will be at the expense of our children. All of this has   
   become a tragedy for young women simply seeking affirmation and   
   acceptance.   
      
   Prisha’s testimony adds to the ranks of Helena Kerschner, Chloe Cole, Cat   
   Cattinson, and other young women who are facing up to the deception they   
   bought into as adolescent girls, peddled with callous indifference by   
   motivated gender facilities practicing lucrative trans medicine. They are   
   uniting to find strength and support to challenge the institutions failing   
   them.   
      
   These mutilating medical treatments are reinforced by woke companies who   
   can profit from this evil trend. Walmart and Target enable young females   
   to resemble their male peers with online and in-store sales of “trans-   
   affirming” products, such as chest binders that diminish the size of their   
   tops and underwear packers to create a bulge in their bottoms.   
      
   Social media influencers preach a gospel of living your “authentic self.”   
   These budding young women facing the challenges of adolescence fall prey   
   to an ideology that convinces them to defy the confines of their nature.   
   They find freedom in throwing off the shackles of their female development
